Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar, parents of 18 with a granddaughter on the way, made a big announcement Tuesday morning.

The Duggars, stars of the TLC show "18 Kids and Counting," shared the news on the "Today" show that they are expecting their 19th baby! Their son Joshua and daughter-in-law Anna are also expecting, with their baby girl due to arrive this fall.

Michelle shared her thoughts on being pregnant on her TLC blog. In a post titled, "Baby News Surprises Everyone, Even Mama," the mom of nearly 20 children wrote that she had believed her childbearing years to be concluded, until she was pleasantly surprised to be pregnant again. "I don't take pregnancy for granted, either," she wrote. "I thought we might be done. I was a little sad about it, but I just accepted it was a stage of my life and perhaps God felt my family was complete."
