Duggar's First Grandchild Will be a Girl

Categories: Celeb Kids, Celeb Parenting

The Duggars were back on the "Today" show last week with another surprise announcement. But this time, it was the Duggars, Jr. -- or oldest son Josh, and his wife pregnant wife Anna -- making an appearance to find out the sex of their baby. That's right, Meredith Vieira knew the baby's gender before Josh and Anna. Only on reality television, people.

The answer came to them not by ultrasound but baked into a cake created by "Cake Boss" Buddy Valastro. Josh and Anna -- who both felt they were expecting a boy -- cut into the beautiful custom-made creation holding their breath to find out if the cake would be pink or blue. Anna let out a delighted squeal when the cake revealed they were expecting a daughter.

Josh and Anna are building on at least one of the Duggar family's traditions: They're already focused on a first initial, "M." (All of the original Duggars have "J" names.) Josh teased Vieira that they might name her Meredith, the talk show host will just have to wait and see if being the Duggar's "biggest fan" pays off. But they don't plan on building another Duggar empire. "We would be happy with two or three [children]," says Josh.

As for the Duggars, they're looking forward to being grandparents. "We've been dreaming about having grandbabies," says Michelle. "We hear it's a lot easier than being a parent," says Jim. Well yes, Jim, especially when you're a parent of 18 (and counting).
