When most people hear the name "Duggar," the first thing that comes to mind is Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar and their brood of 19 kids. The super-sized Arkansas family has made a name for themselves through the years thanks to 19 Kids & Counting and Counting On — which focused on the highly conservative way they raised so many children.

Michelle and Jim Bob's eldest son, Josh and his wife Anna Duggar, seem to be following in their footsteps when it comes to the sheer size of their family.

Although TLC cut ties with Josh following his 2015 scandals, Anna and their kids were still regularly featured on Counting On until it was canceled in 2021. Just in case you've lost track over time, here's a complete guide to Josh and Anna's kids.

Josh and Anna Duggar have seven kids.

Following a brief courtship and engagement, Josh and Anna tied the knot in September 2008. They didn't waste any time starting their family (a pattern that has become synonymous with the Duggar clan), and went on to welcome their first child just over a year later.

Since then, Josh and Anna have had six other children — all with names starting with the letter "M" — bringing their grand total (so far) to seven kids.

Meredith Grace Duggar, Josh and Anna's fourth child, was born on July 16, 2015 — right in the middle of Josh's two scandals that year. (Following Josh's stint at a faith-based rehabilitation center, however, the couple went to marriage counseling and ultimately remained married.) Doesn't she just have the cutest smile?

Josh and Anna's second-youngest child, Maryella Hope Duggar, was born on Nov. 27, 2019. Her name is actually an ode to grandma Mary Duggar (Jim Bob's mother), who died in June 2019 as the result of a drowning accident at her home.

"When Josh’s grandma passed away we considered the name Mary, but we were hesitant because Grandma (Mary Duggar) was such a special lady and we wanted our daughter’s name to be a reminder of how special Grandma was and carry on her legacy, but without feeling like we were trying to replace her," Anna explained via Instagram when announcing Maryella's name.

"Soon, our baby name list that we had narrowed down to three names had grown to a list of about a dozen Mary-hyphenated names," she continued. "As we continued chatting about names, Josh and I both fell in love with the name Maryella!"

On April 23, Anna took to Instagram to share that baby number seven was officially on the way.

"It’s a GIRL!!!!!" she captioned a video of pink confetti raining down on herself and Josh, followed by their six kids running toward the camera in slow motion. "We are overjoyed to announce baby seven is on the way and we can’t wait to hold her in our arms this fall!"
