John David Duggar and wife Abbie Burnett are expecting their first child! The couple excitedly revealed the news on their shared Instagram account, saying, “We are on Cloud 9 about welcoming our own little Duggar into the world!!! It really is amazing to think about being parents and having our own child to raise. We are thankful that God has blessed us with this new life and we look forward to taking on this new adventure.”
The couple posted a pic of themselves in a helicopter holding a onesie that says, “Baby passenger on board.”
The day before announcing, the couple posted a photo from a flight event in Wisconsin. John was holding Abbie’s stomach in the picture, and many fans commented that they thought Abbie might be pregnant.
Duggar, 29, and Burnett, 27, married last November after “courting” for a short few months. “We are so excited to be married! It was a beautiful moment and we so appreciate our friends and family for sharing this day with us,” they shared at the time.
“We fell in love very quickly,” John added. “And it’s been a wonderful journey thus far and taking the next step to move onto a courtship.” The couple became engaged after only a month of dating, and they married within a few months of beginning their courtship.
As they prepare for parenthood, you can watch the couple on Counting On, which returns to TLC this October.
Congratulations to John David Duggar and Abbie Burnett on their exciting pregnancy news! We with the parents-to-be the best of luck.
