If you've been following Joy-Anna Duggar's Instagram for updates on her baby bump, you may have noticed a subtle shift recently.
Jim Bob has a huge rule for his family ... and it's a rule that Joy has quietly begun to break.
After weeks of insightful speculation and hype, Joy-Anna Duggar announced that she is pregnant with baby #2.
Now, at 19 weeks, she is showing off her baby bump.
By now, you've likely heard the heartwarming news:
Counting On star Joy-Anna Duggar is pregnant.
As previously reported in giddy detail, Joy-Anna Duggar is pregnant with her second child.
The Counting On star made this exciting announcement over Instagram on Wednesday afternoon, providing followers with some happy news during a time when everyone could really use it.
Joy-Anna Duggar has turned a long-running rumor into an exciting and blessed reality:
Yup, folks, the reality star is pregnant with her second child!
Austin Forsyth isn't the most popular man on the Internet right now.
To be clear, Austin Forsyth is rarely the most popular man on the Internet.
Counting On fans have felt sure that Joy-Anna Duggar is pregnant for a little while now.
After recent family photos, however, they're convinced that they finally have proof. Take a look:
According to the Internet, Counting On star Joy-Anna Duggar may or may not be pregnant with her next child.
We'll let the celebrity gossip world and social media continue to debate this possibility on its own for a bit. Why?
Joy-Anna Duggar has opened up about how she managed to cope with her miscarriage. She and Austin mourn the daughter who might have been.
Now, Joy has revealed the touching gift that she received to honor Annabell Elise.
The Duggar girls have little chance at normal lives, but fans still have hope -- and love to see when they break Jim Bob's awful sexist rules.
Well, as part of Joy-Anna's bid to convince fans that Austin Forsyth isn't a creep, she revealed that she kind of has a job. Like, a real job.
Duggar women tend to get married and start popping out babies at a very young age.
But Joy-Anna Duggar took that tendency to a new level when she married Austin Forsyth while still in her teens and got knocked up almost immediately afterward.
Like so many members of the extended Duggar clan, Austin Forsyth is in the real estate biz.
He may be young, but Joy-Anna Duggar's husband already has several years' experience buying and selling homes.
At some point in the future, Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth will start a family.
As you may tragically know by now, the Counting On couple suffered a miscarriage this summer, with Joy-Anna having to actually give birth to a stillborn baby after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
Well, that was fast!
Just last week we reported that several members of the Duggar family had traveled to the Bahamas in order to assist with Hurricane Dorian relief efforts.
Earlier this week, we reported that several Duggar kids had headed to the Bahamas in order to assist with relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Dorian.
It's hard to imagine that anyone could be critical of such a move -- but these are the Duggars we're talking about.
Duggar fans and critics alike have long suspected that Jim Bob forces his sons to work for him to maintain a measure of control over them.
This time, at least, those sons are going to work for what looks like a good cause.
Even following their tragic miscarriage, Joy-Anna and Austin Forsyth share a lot of themselves with fans -- including the occassional bit of TMI.
This time, they shared a photo of some very casual PDA -- some simple hand-holding.
It's great to be able to lean on family in trying times.
That's exactly what Joy-Anna Duggar is doing in the wake of her heartbreaking miscarriage.
Joy-Anna Duggar is nothing if not very, very open on Instagram.
This has always been the case, throughout both good and bad moments in the reality star's life, most notably of late when Joy-Anna and husband Austin Forsyth tragically suffered a miscarriage.
As you may have heard, some extremely heartbreaking news came from the Duggar family last week.
Joy-Anna had a miscarriage at 20 weeks pregnant.
