As they explained in a YouTube video, Jed and Katey Duggar discovered they were expecting again back in mid-September while on a trip to Florida. The couple managed to keep mum for the next few months so they could do their big reveal at the Duggar Christmas bash. They definitely caught everyone by surprise. Jedidiah's mom, Michelle, was so busy cooing over baby Truett that she didn't notice Katey's shirt until it was pointed out to her. "Oh! You're pregnant! What a wonderful Christmas surprise!" Michelle squealed as she hugged her daughter-in-law. Dad Jim Bob laughed and said, "You just had one!" as Jed joked, "We're just trying to keep up with you guys."
The video went on to show Katey and Jed breaking the news to family members who hadn't been able to make it to the party. Among them was Jed's sister Joy-Anna Duggar Forsyth, who's expecting a baby boy next spring. Instead of letting a sweatshirt do the talking, Katey took another approach. "Hey, Joy, when's your due date?" she asked. After Joy shared her May 22 date, Katey casually said, "I keep having to remember if mine is the day before or after." Joy was shocked and delighted.
This new arrival will officially be the 28th "GrandDuggar" for Jim Bob and Michelle. However, Duggar fans have been scratching their heads over video footage that appears to show son Josiah with a baby not previously announced on social media.
