Joseph and Kendra Duggar announced a miraculous surprise this week:
You may not believe this, but congratulations are once again in order for a member of the Duggar family.
Okay, fine. You may believe it.
We've talked at length about the various ways in which the children of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have failed to thrive in adulthood.
As much as the father of 19 prides himself on raising his kids with a puritan work ethic, several of them seem to have had a hard time finding financial success of their own.
Before we realized the extent of Jim Bob's control-freak megalomania or understood just how bonkers the Duggar courtship rules really are, the one thing everyone knew about the Duggar family was that they are really, really big on making babies.
The other revelations came later, and these days, the Duggars are gawked at for reasons that go well beyond the sheer size of the clan.
It's been almost three years since Joseph Duggar married Kendra Caldwell.
As with all Duggar weddings, the ceremony was attended by hundreds of family friends and televised on TLC.
The Duggars are a polarizing family.
This may be the most understated sentence ever written on this celebrity gossip website.
Ever since Joseph Duggar married Kendra Caldwell back in 2017, there have been rumors that Kendra's sister is involved with one of Joe's brothers.
This isn't terribly surprising, as the Duggar and Caldwell clans have been close for years, and Jim Bob is known to be a big fan of Kendra and Lauren's dad.
Last month, Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell welcomed their second child.
By all appearances, this is a joyous time in the young couple's lives.
Joe Duggar and Kendra Duggar may have been a little bit off.
The famous couple may have exaggerated a tad when they said late last month that having a second baby would be a breeze.
