Josiah Duggar

We probably don't need to tell you that breakups are extremely rare in the Duggar clan.

In fact, as far as we know, exactly one couple has called it quits in all the time the Duggars have been in the spotlight.

Josiah Duggar and Lauren Duggar were brought to tears on Tuesday night's episode of Counting On.

For an utterly heartbreaking reason, too.

Congraulations are in order for Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson.

Because they are first-time parents who welcomed a precious little girl in mid-November, not very long removed from a tragic and awful miscarriage?

Lauren Duggar and Josiah Duggar officially help comprise a family of three.

This, of course, became the case back on November 8 when the famous couple welcomed its very first child into the world, a precious baby girl named Bella.

We're not crying, okay?

YOU'RE the ones who are crying.

For Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson, first came love.

And then came marriage.

With 19 kids and a strict code of conduct that forbids everything from premarital physical contact to celebrating Halloween, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar likely knew from the start that it was only a matter of time before they'd be forced to quash a rebellion.

But they probably weren't prepared to fight a war on multiple fronts.

Lauren and Josiah Duggar has a special reason to celebrate this week.

And also a tragic reason to remain humble and mournful.

If you're a Counting On fan, then you're probably already aware that we're in the middle of a full-blown Duggar baby boom.

No fewer than four Duggar couples are currently expecting, and Jessa Duggar just welcomed her third child in May.

It wasn't long ago that Lauren and Josiah Duggar revealed to the world that they were expecting a baby girl.

The couple recently took a break from Duggar Baby Mania to celebrate their first wedding anniversary.

While Jinger Duggar might enjoy a well-deserved reputation as the most rebellious of Jim Bob and Michelle’s offspring, those who know the family best say it’s Josiah who has most tested his parents’ patience over the years.

Though not as well-known -- and certainly not as scandal-plagued  -- as some of his most notorious relatives, Josiah has broken with his parents’ ultra-conservative views in a number of significant ways.

Josiah and Lauren Duggar have quite the incredible year ahead of themselves.

That's very safe to assume, at least, considering the couple is expecting its first child.

Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson have shared an update about the latter's pregnancy with their millions of fans.

Oh, yes, folks, it really is true:

More than anything else in the world, Josiah Duggar wishes he could have written a very different message to his wife this weekend.

He wishes that he and Lauren could have spent Mother's Day cradling and playing with their young child.
