Despite TLC canceling 19 Kids and Counting for good, the Duggars finally found a reason to celebrate again as Anna and Josh welcomed their fourth child.


After the public learned of Josh Duggar's admitted molestation of five underage girls, life changed drastically for the Duggar family.

Their hit series was cancelled and Josh stepped down from his post Family Research Council, but a glimmer of hope came Sunday when the shamed reality star became father for the fourth time.

Josh and wife Anna named the newborn Meredith Grace.

The couple also has a daughter named Mackynzie Renee; and sons Michael James and Marcus Anthony.

The reality star is also expecting a baby of her own.


Meanwhile, Josh and Anna fight to fend off additional backlash from the scandal.

Though they won't be able to lay low for long, especially with a new baby on the scene.
