It looks like the Duggar family is growing once again! Just over a year after welcoming their second child, Nora Kate Duggar, Jedidiah Duggar and his wife, Katey Duggar, announced in July 2024 that they are expecting twins!
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's 10th child was featured alongside his 18 siblings on TLC's Counting On and 19 Kids and Counting, and plenty of fans have continued to follow the family members via Instagram. Let's take a closer look at Jed and Katey's pregnancy announcement and due date.
When is Katey Duggar's due date?
On July 18, 2024, Katey and Jed announced via Instagram that they are expecting twin girls. “Our children, Truett and Nora, have no idea just how much their lives are about to change with the arrival of their new sisters,” Jed wrote alongside a carousel of gender reveal photos.
He continued, “We’re excited to watch their bond as siblings grow and to see the fun and love multiply in our home! This new chapter will bring endless joy and shared adventures for our whole family!”
What's more, Jed mentioned that their twin girls "will be the first twin grandbabies in the Duggar family."
Although we can't confirm her due date, Katey appears to be in the early stages of her pregnancy as of this writing.
Katey Duggar's announced she was pregnant with her second child, Nora Kate Duggar, in December 2022.
On Dec. 17, 2022, Jed and Katey published a pregnancy announcement, titled "We've Been Keeping a Secret," to their YouTube channel.
In it, they shared footage of themselves revealing the pregnancy to their subscribers — they also shared how they announced the news to the larger Duggar family. Katey and Jed decided to do their pregnancy reveal at the ugly Christmas sweater/Christmas character party that Michelle and Jim Bob host each year at the "big house."
For the party, Katey opted to wear a sweatshirt that read "Joy to the world" in large lettering, and then "Oh, & I'm pregnant" in smaller lettering underneath. The couple basically approached each member of the Duggar family separately as they arrived at the party and asked if they liked Katey's shirt. Cue the: "OMG, seriously?!" reactions.
As Jed and Katey shared, it was in September 2022, when the family was on their Florida beach trip, that Katey got her first positive pregnancy test. (So they successfully kept the news to themselves for three months.)
In the video, Katey disclosed to her sister-in-law, Abbie (John David's wife) that she's due a day after Joy-Anna Duggar is due. Joy-Anna previously shared that she's due with baby No. 3 on May 23, 2023 — so that would put Katey's due date at May 24, 2023. However, it appears Katey gave birth to Nora Kate Duggar on or around June 2, 2023, according to a sweet Instagram post welcoming her to the world.
Jed and Katey had also shared their pregnancy news via Instagram. In post featuring two photos — one of Katey hugging Jed while she holds a sonogram, and another of of the couple with Truett on Jed's shoulder, they wrote, "Swipe for a surprise ☺️Baby #2 on the way 🤍."
Jed and Katey Duggar welcomed their first child, Truett Oliver Duggar, in May 2022.
About a year before their daughter was born, Katey and Jed welcomed their first child, son Truett, on May 2, 2022. Truett was just a few weeks past his first birthday when he became a big brother.
Hopefully, Katey will continue to share her pregnancy journey on Instagram and YouTube so we can follow along. We'll be sure to provide updates on Katey's due date as details become available. Congratulations to the soon-to-be family of six!
