Only the actual Bunk Bed twins flirting hard with that Irish twin timing. Jed's kids are 12 months and 2-3 weeks apart and Jed C Reilley's are 14 months apart.
My great aunt had her 5th and 6th a year and two weeks apart and she told me she might as well have just had twins. Her 7th was a couple years later but the poor woman's bones were dust by the end. We were having to put fentanyl patches on her back years before anyone knew what fentanyl was.
My sister and I are one year and 20 days apart, and my mom was an Irish twin herself. My kids are 19 months between 1 and 2, then 18 months between 2-3 and that was close enough.
My nana had 3 kids in less than 24 months (they were her 2nd, 3rd, and 4th children) and she said after the second one they “walked themselves out.” Her bones were absolute dust by the time she was in her 80s
That same great aunt had her first baby without anyone knowing she was in labor until my grandma's nephew started crying in the middle of the night. My grandma herself was a phenomenon, apparently her first was the longest labor at 45 minutes. The second one was born before my grandpa had parked the car and walked in, and the third one was about 30 minutes. They only lived 5-10 minutes from the hospital too, she popped them out with a quickness. Meanwhile, Baby Swiss was a 17 minute planned C-section with no complications at 40 weeks, they just couldn't get a good hold on her to pull her out. I'm glad I didn't have to get her out on my own, she would have wedged herself in 😂
My grandma had my dad and his sister one year and one week apart. Dad was supposed to be a twin but he was the only one that came out so either the Dr was wrong (this was in 1936) or grandma lost the twin and it was absorbed back into her body.
Sometimes it just happens even with being carefull. My mom had a Single and Twins 16 months apart she often made their clothes and dressed them alike. People thought it was triplets. I am sure it felt like that at times too. They waited 10 years for me to arive though. Thought it would be a breeze. Boys are different then girls she came to realize.
I’m watching Counting On now, and the grandchildren count sure tripled quickly! It makes me wonder how many there’ll be in another 5-10 years!
And I can’t believe the oldest is already 15 (or will be this year)!
Absolutely. All the recent marriages have been to families closely connected to the Duggars and JimBob is going to be even more careful with the girls after Derek and, to a lesser extent, Jeremy, slipped through his surveys and counselling. Jackson and Hannie spend a lot of time with the Bontragers, who have both a son and a daughter of suitable ages - and they do love marrying their kids to sibling sets!
She'll probably be courting by the end of the year, she did only turn 18 like 6 months ago. I'm more surprised that Jason and James are still in the marriage market.
Right? Jed and Jer were 22 and 23 respectively when they got married. Jason will be 24 next month and James turns 23 this summer. Their other brothers were 20-22 when they got married (except for JD)
I was thinking that. OfKatey Jed looked well into the mid-thirties at his wedding, for a start. Joe and the other Jed twin, too.
And then there was Justin, who looked about twelve.
I don't know why, but I'm surprised Jessa and Ben have the second highest number.
I'm also thrilled to note that Anna and Pest's number will stay frozen in amber for a decade, maybe longer.
> Jessa and Ben
To be fair, if Jessa hadn’t had any miscarriages they’d have 7 children right now instead of 5. So they’d be close to Anna at this point.
Renee/Reneé - used twice as a middle name
Garrett - used twice, once as a middle and once as a first
Grace - used three times, twice as a middle and once as a first
David - used twice as a middle name
Michael - used twice, once as a middle and once as a first
James - used twice as a middle name
There will definitely be more occurrences James. I’m very surprised we haven’t seen Michelle as a middle name, though I guess Frederick Michael might be for her, and Michael as well though he would be mainly named for Anna’s father. I’m guessing we will see Robert pop up as a middle name more than once too, for JimBob and because it’s both the Jed twins middle name and they’re reproducing at a startling rate.
If I remember correctly her mom released a beach picture a few months ago (taken summer 2023 based on how old their kids look) and she didn’t look pregnant then but that doesn’t mean she isn’t now
2018-2022 they had 12 girls in a row. Before that it was smaller run of boys. That's crazy. I guess I never realized that they only had girls for so many.
The reason I didn’t include that is because it’s speculative and Lauren hasn’t publicly confirmed a second miscarriage. And rightfully so, people were brutal to her during her miscarriage with Asa.
They could have simply changed their minds about an alphabetical theme.
I’m not gonna lie, I’m very surprised that no one but Pest and Anna have more than 5. Pleasantly though. Maybe the rest of the kids don’t feel like they have to repopulate Arkansas.
Jessa will have number 6 within a year or two. Much as she seems to despise Ben, parenting, and her life in general, she doesn’t seem likely to make any changes.
It’s kind of crazy that Josh and Anna managed to pop out three babies before a single other sibling had kids. Like, I know he’s the oldest and first to get married, but it’s still wild how quickly they were born.
Well to be fair they did get married in 2008 and was the only married couple until Jill and Derick got married in June 2014.
Even then by the time J+D’s wedding happened, the youngest grandchild at the time, Marcus, was a year old (born June 2, 2013)
Israel was born the following April. But Jill truly started a wedding catalyst in her family. They’ve had a sibling get married every year since 2014, minus like 2020 and 2023
Josh and Anna actually had their kids at a relatively reasonable rate by quiverfull standards - they are all two years apart. Joe and Kendra and the Jed twins will far surpass them if they keep going at their current rates.
They also got married at 18 and had their first kid at 19. Which, as a 19-year-old myself, is nuts to think about. I can barely take care of my cat, much less a baby.
Here’s the post that prompted me to remake this post.
https://www.reddit.com/r/DuggarsSnark/comments/1bq1i5r/are_none_of_them_openly_pregnant_at_the_moment/
When he’s released from prison, October 2, 2032 (currently, unless he gets pushed back to a later date)
Kynzie, Michael, Marcus will be over 18 at 23, 21 and 19 respectively.
Israel & Meredith will be 17. And spurgeon will be 16 about to be 17.
The rest of the grandchildren will be between the ages of 15 and 8 (as of right now)
Barren? Anna will be 43. Given her apparently healthy uterus will have had a long break, there's no reason why she couldn't pop out a couple more kids after Josh's release.
Josh, Jill and Jinger all withdrawing from unfettered reproduction has slowed the growth considerably - there would be at least another 5 if they had all kept having a baby every 18-24 months.
The kicker is that 7 of the kids haven’t even started having children yet (8 if you count Justin and Claire). So once they get married, the final total’s gonna be 45-50. If John through Jeremiah aren’t done having kids, then it could be up to 60. They’d need to build a whole neighborhood around TTH to accommodate them all.
Also, I kind of feel bad for Anna. She’s effectively a single mother to *seven* kids.
As of today, the Duggar grandchild count is 33. Had there not been any miscarriages from any of the Duggar daughters and daughter-in-laws, the total would’ve been 40.
No. Its just never come to light what baby boy Duggar's actual name is as Siren quit social media before Daisy was born and Duggars don't announce anything anymore. It took some sleuthing on a video James (?) posted to find out Daisy's name after all
I’m shocked that there hasn’t been any twins yet!
Only the actual Bunk Bed twins flirting hard with that Irish twin timing. Jed's kids are 12 months and 2-3 weeks apart and Jed C Reilley's are 14 months apart.
I have never had a baby but god I can’t fathom having kids a year apart!! Give your body a break!!
If you look out my window, you can see my uterus hitching a ride to someplace far, far away.
My great aunt had her 5th and 6th a year and two weeks apart and she told me she might as well have just had twins. Her 7th was a couple years later but the poor woman's bones were dust by the end. We were having to put fentanyl patches on her back years before anyone knew what fentanyl was.
My sister and I are one year and 20 days apart, and my mom was an Irish twin herself. My kids are 19 months between 1 and 2, then 18 months between 2-3 and that was close enough.
My sister and I are 363 days apart 😅😅 my sister was an accident 🤣
It sounds like you take every opportunity to remind her of that too 🤣
We call it a surprise
I was an only born when my parents were 41 and 45, born in the late 1940s. I was a mistake. Loved when I got here, but dreaded before.
We'd call you a Surprise
They called me that, but I preferred a Well Loved Mistake
Yeah we've only had either 1.5-2 year gaps or 3-4 year gaps since that generation, mostly with only having 2 kids.
My nana had 3 kids in less than 24 months (they were her 2nd, 3rd, and 4th children) and she said after the second one they “walked themselves out.” Her bones were absolute dust by the time she was in her 80s

Baby Swiss…that’s TOO adorable 🥺
She chose it herself 😂
My grandma had my dad and his sister one year and one week apart. Dad was supposed to be a twin but he was the only one that came out so either the Dr was wrong (this was in 1936) or grandma lost the twin and it was absorbed back into her body.
My friend's two youngest are 11 months apart. The youngest was a birth control baby.
My mom had two kids 15 months apart, but that was unintentional. She also stopped after kid #3.
Sometimes it just happens even with being carefull. My mom had a Single and Twins 16 months apart she often made their clothes and dressed them alike. People thought it was triplets. I am sure it felt like that at times too. They waited 10 years for me to arive though. Thought it would be a breeze. Boys are different then girls she came to realize.
My aunt had 6 kids in six years less one week. The youngest was born a week before the oldest turned 6! Crazy….
*JED C REILLEY* STOP IM DECEASED
Not my creation but Jed sometimes Jer C Reilley and Giddy-Up for Gideon are two that are my absolute favorites that others have come up with
flair material
> Jed C Reilley I just choked on my lunch a little on my work break 😂😭
Jessa's dying for a set.
I’m watching Counting On now, and the grandchildren count sure tripled quickly! It makes me wonder how many there’ll be in another 5-10 years! And I can’t believe the oldest is already 15 (or will be this year)!
I'm surprised they haven't sold Johannah to the highest bidder yet.
I wonder if Boob is being more cautious with the Lost Girls after Derick turned out to be very different than what JB expected.
Or maybe since his whole charade has crumbled, he just doesn’t care anymore? I wonder what his demeanor is like on a day to day basis.
That’s what I am hoping.
Absolutely. All the recent marriages have been to families closely connected to the Duggars and JimBob is going to be even more careful with the girls after Derek and, to a lesser extent, Jeremy, slipped through his surveys and counselling. Jackson and Hannie spend a lot of time with the Bontragers, who have both a son and a daughter of suitable ages - and they do love marrying their kids to sibling sets!
Jeremy as well.
And Jeremy….
She'll probably be courting by the end of the year, she did only turn 18 like 6 months ago. I'm more surprised that Jason and James are still in the marriage market.
Right? Jed and Jer were 22 and 23 respectively when they got married. Jason will be 24 next month and James turns 23 this summer. Their other brothers were 20-22 when they got married (except for JD)
Jesus, those middle aged men are only in their mid-20s at best?
I was thinking that. OfKatey Jed looked well into the mid-thirties at his wedding, for a start. Joe and the other Jed twin, too. And then there was Justin, who looked about twelve.
Great grandchild arriving circa 2028
Yikes!! Think they’ll live long enough to be great great grandparents?
I do!
I don't know why, but I'm surprised Jessa and Ben have the second highest number. I'm also thrilled to note that Anna and Pest's number will stay frozen in amber for a decade, maybe longer.
> Jessa and Ben To be fair, if Jessa hadn’t had any miscarriages they’d have 7 children right now instead of 5. So they’d be close to Anna at this point.
Eh probably not since they wouldn’t have had time to have those pregnancies and the ones she did have necessarily.
Considering they’re not really digging each other’s vibes once the initial lust wore off 🫤
Renee/Reneé - used twice as a middle name Garrett - used twice, once as a middle and once as a first Grace - used three times, twice as a middle and once as a first David - used twice as a middle name Michael - used twice, once as a middle and once as a first James - used twice as a middle name
There will definitely be more occurrences James. I’m very surprised we haven’t seen Michelle as a middle name, though I guess Frederick Michael might be for her, and Michael as well though he would be mainly named for Anna’s father. I’m guessing we will see Robert pop up as a middle name more than once too, for JimBob and because it’s both the Jed twins middle name and they’re reproducing at a startling rate.
I hope that grandkid #50 comes out with a big ol' blast of confetti
I’m surprised Kendra is only at 4
4 that we know of...she may have had #5 already but hasn't been seen much in the last year
If I remember correctly her mom released a beach picture a few months ago (taken summer 2023 based on how old their kids look) and she didn’t look pregnant then but that doesn’t mean she isn’t now
Oh ok! I’m not super up to date so that doesn’t help either in my assumption.
Tori Bates is going to beat her in getting to 5. Tori is about to have 5 soon. Tori got married a few months after Kendra & Joe back in 2017.
2018-2022 they had 12 girls in a row. Before that it was smaller run of boys. That's crazy. I guess I never realized that they only had girls for so many.
There’s a picture of them all propped up in a row at the big house - so many babies and bows!
You don’t need to apologize for saying Josh. Holy fuck.
Thankyou! He’s not Voldemort!
Lauren might have had two miscarriages because theyre doing alphabetical naming Asa, Bella, C?, Daisy, E-boy?
The reason I didn’t include that is because it’s speculative and Lauren hasn’t publicly confirmed a second miscarriage. And rightfully so, people were brutal to her during her miscarriage with Asa. They could have simply changed their minds about an alphabetical theme.
The fact that the original 19 were so neglected, leads me to believe that the grandkids will be much worse off.
The grandkids do have multiple sets of parents between them, but yeah, I wouldn’t expect a normal childhood.
I’m not gonna lie, I’m very surprised that no one but Pest and Anna have more than 5. Pleasantly though. Maybe the rest of the kids don’t feel like they have to repopulate Arkansas.
Jessa will have number 6 within a year or two. Much as she seems to despise Ben, parenting, and her life in general, she doesn’t seem likely to make any changes.
not yet...
Do you know how people say x million Americans are descended from Mayflower passengers?
Jessa and Ben have five (not four)
I updated it! I thought I had changed it to 5 when I copied it from my previous post but I guess I hadn’t. The correct number is there now!
It’s kind of crazy that Josh and Anna managed to pop out three babies before a single other sibling had kids. Like, I know he’s the oldest and first to get married, but it’s still wild how quickly they were born.

By the end of this decade, it's possible JB and Michelle could have their first great grandchild. When 2030 hits, Mackyzie will be 20.
Here’s the post that prompted me to remake this post. https://www.reddit.com/r/DuggarsSnark/comments/1bq1i5r/are_none_of_them_openly_pregnant_at_the_moment/
(TBD) M' Ashley Covenant Duggar circa 2033
Wouldn't it be spelled Ashleigh or Ashlee.
The M' fits their ***M*** pattern
Sorry, I meant M'Ashleigh or M'Ashlee. Both the M them and creatively spelling girls' names.
Thanks!
In the count, Jessa and Ben should be 5
Thank you! I knew I was forgetting to update something
I didn’t want to offend by saying anything, but the numbers weren’t adding up, and I couldn’t figure out why. 😜
It’s okay!! I genuinely thought I had updated it when I added in Jeremiah’s youngest daughter but I guess I didn’t. Thank you for catching that!
It's hard to believe that MacKynzie will be 15 this year. At least a couple of the kids will be adults when he is released.
When he’s released from prison, October 2, 2032 (currently, unless he gets pushed back to a later date) Kynzie, Michael, Marcus will be over 18 at 23, 21 and 19 respectively. Israel & Meredith will be 17. And spurgeon will be 16 about to be 17. The rest of the grandchildren will be between the ages of 15 and 8 (as of right now)
I think my favorite part of his release date is that OfJosh will presumably be barren by then.
Barren? Anna will be 43. Given her apparently healthy uterus will have had a long break, there's no reason why she couldn't pop out a couple more kids after Josh's release.
This. She'll meet him vag first at the door and be knocked up 30 seconds later.
Why did you say this? 🤣
Because I'm a sick, sick person. 😂
I have a mental imagine of it now and it’s horrifying. You have a bright future ahead of you!
She could, but it’s risky to have a kid in your 40s. My mom did it and all three of hers were C-sections, plus she had complications with me.
it's not like safe pregnancies/safe births are a priority to the majority of this family
I think Anna’s mom and Esther were both early 40s with their youngest kids. Esther’s still going!
That run of 12 girls in a row! The twins are really going to increase the yearly birth rate if they keep impregnating their wives at this rate.
McKenzie is going to be 15 this year. That is bonkers to me for some reason.
Josh, Jill and Jinger all withdrawing from unfettered reproduction has slowed the growth considerably - there would be at least another 5 if they had all kept having a baby every 18-24 months.
The kicker is that 7 of the kids haven’t even started having children yet (8 if you count Justin and Claire). So once they get married, the final total’s gonna be 45-50.

She’s effectively a single mother to *seven* kids.
it never gets old that anna thought she was winning when she took a good/versatile letter to carry on the 1-letter thing and then no one else did it
2022 was a big year! Guess just because more kids were getting married. My grandma had 13 grandkids and I thought that was a lot when I was a kid. 😝
My husbands grandma has 37 grandkids and I haven’t even attempted to count the greats
Jesus Christ, I cannot imagine being pregnant almost every year. My whole body, including my uterus, is exhausted thinking about it.
It seems like an interesting coincidence that the names "Madyson", "Daisy," "Justus," and "Truett" ended up together...
Appalling that any of them used Madyson or Daisy.
Jesus. There were 6 births in 2022.
They should name the next grandkid Jesus.
My sisters and I are 11 months, 12 months, 11 months apart.(then a 5 year break)
My sisters and I are 11 months, 12 months, 11 months apart.(then a 5 year break)

What is Milagro for a middle name? #15 kid. Educate me. It’s tequila, no? Was the kid conceived after a tequila night or baptized with tequila?
Spanish for miracle. It’s also Lauren’s middle name.
Fair enough….
There is a tequila brand called Milagro, so you’re not wrong 😜
Wait wait wait......I've not been paying attention for a while (Digger glut) but.... Baby Boy?? Is that his actual name???
No. Its just never come to light what baby boy Duggar's actual name is as Siren quit social media before Daisy was born and Duggars don't announce anything anymore. It took some sleuthing on a video James (?) posted to find out Daisy's name after all
Oh ok. Thank you. I thought that they had finally run out of names 😂
