Jedidiah Duggar and his wife, Katey, have revealed that they are expecting twin girls.
The couple, with Jed being the 10th eldest of the original 19 Duggar children including his twin brother Jeremiah, took to YouTube to post a family vlog announcing the news of their third and fourth babies.
Katey and Jed, both 25, found out the news during a routine ultrasound.
They already share a two-year-old son, Truett, and a one-year-old daughter, Nora.
Jed already has nearly three dozen nieces and nephews, but none of his brothers or sisters have had twins.
Jedidiah Duggar and his wife Katey, both 25, have revealed on their family vlog that they are expecting twin girls.
The couple already share a two-year-old son, Truett, and a one-year-old daughter, Nora.
In other words, he’s on track to be the first of the Duggar children to give his parents, patriarch Jim Bob, 59, and matriarch Michelle, 57, twin grandchildren.
After confirming that Katey was expecting twins at an ultrasound appointment, the couple first broke the news to Jed’s younger brother, James, via video call on the way home.
They also recruited James to help plan the gender reveal party, also making sure to keep it a secret that they were expecting twins.
Katey also enthusiastically showed off footage of the procedure.
Katey and Jed then broke the news to their son, Truett.
“Mommy has two babies!” Jed told his son.
“Don’t tell him, he’ll repeat it!” Katey intervened, alarmed, wanting to keep the news as a surprise.
“He won’t, they won’t believe him,” Jed reasoned.
For the gender reveal, the family wanted to keep the surprise that they were expecting twins as long as possible, and initially gathered in front of their family with a single balloon.
To confuse everyone, they pretended to have accidentally dropped the balloon and called for a replacement as it floated away.
That’s when Jed’s brother James (who was the only one in on the secret) pulled out two balloons, finally tipping off attendees that Katey was expecting twins.
Patriarch Jim Bob and matriarch Michelle, 57, were on hand and began beaming with joy at the revelation that they would be having twin grandsons.
Moments later, the couple popped both balloons, unleashing a cloud of pink confetti, indicating that they were expecting twin girls.
Jed’s twin, Jeremiah, was also captured holding his eldest daughter, 19-month-old Brynley, on his lap.
Jed’s older sister Jessa, 31, also attended the gender reveal.
“Two babies!” Truett declared.
The husband and wife then began planning the gender reveal party, determined to keep the gender a secret until the event.
“Due to some errors, we accidentally discovered Truitt and Nora’s gender earlier than intended,” Katey explained.
‘And this time we’re going to block it!’ he added.
Jed also emphasized: ‘We’re going to surprise everyone!’
When the day of the gender reveal arrived, many familiar faces from the Duggar clan could be seen in attendance.
Jed’s twin, Jeremiah, was also caught on camera sweetly holding his eldest daughter, 19-month-old Brynley, on his lap.
Also spotted at the gender reveal were Jim Bob, 59, and Jed’s older sister Jessa, 31.
It wasn’t long before Jed and Katey had everyone gathered outside to watch the balloons pop, unleashing blue or pink confetti.
As the behind-the-scenes organizer of the event, James initially brought out a single balloon, which ended up being fake as the couple pretended to accidentally let it fly into the air.
At this, James pulled out the two royal balloons, which also served as a signal to everyone present that Jed and Katey were indeed expecting twins.
Standing next to a gleaming Jim Bob in the backyard, Michelle squealed with joy at the revelation.
“Oh no, twins!” she exclaimed, covering her mouth with her hand.
Moments later, Jed and Katey popped both balloons, releasing a burst of pink confetti from each, indicating that they were expecting twin girls.
The two then hugged before excited Duggar family members surrounded them as Katey showed off the ultrasound photos.
“We love you, whoever you are, and you will be great!” Jeremiah said.
“Just because you’re a twin, it’s a twin club,” Jed chimed in enthusiastically.
