The Duggar family is expecting yet another little one on the way. Newlywed couple Joseph and Kendra Duggar are expecting their first bundle of joy.

TLC released a video of the "Counting On" stars announcing their baby to come. "I've always dreamed of having my own family, and it's really just kind of surreal that it's actually here. I kinda think it's gonna be a boy, but either way, I'm just happy to have a baby," Joseph says in the video.

Kendra, on the other hand, thinks they are going to have a daughter. The 19-year-old says, "I think it could be a girl, you never know." Joe then continues by saying he hopes that the baby gets "Kendra's laugh." Kendra then shares that she hopes the baby gets his father's patience.

Joseph and Kendra have not updated their fans about baby names they prefer.

The couple concluded the video with, "We're so excited to share our journey with ya'll at Counting on. Thanks so much for your support." Fans of the show and the couple quickly congratulated the couple and wished them good luck.

Joseph and Kendra's baby will be grandchild number 11 in the Duggar family. Joseph's little sister Joy-Anna is also expecting a child with her husband Austin Forsyth next year.

The Duggar family posted the video on their official website. The Duggars captioned the video with, "We are so excited for Joe and Kendra! Children are a blessing from the Lord and we can't wait to meet this little one!!"

Joseph and Kendra met in March and immediately started dating. Joseph then asked for Kendra's hand during Joy-Anna's wedding with Austin in May. The couple tied the knot back on Sep. 8 in Siloam Springs, Arkansas.

Meanwhile, the Duggar family recently celebrated Jordyn's 7th birthday, and are busy preparing for Christmas day and the New Year.
