Joseph Duggar's Wife Kendra Says She's 'Had a Lot of Morning Sickness' During Her Pregnancy
Like many expecting mothers, Kendra Duggar has battled morning sickness throughout her first pregnancy.
“During my pregnancy, I’ve had a lot of morning sickness and I think it’s slowly subsiding. But other than that, it’s been good,” Kendra said in a TLC video.
The Counting On star, who revealed in December that she and her husband, Joseph Duggar, are expecting their first child, announced Saturday that the couple will welcome a baby boy.
“We are so excited to announce that we are having a boy!” Joseph said in the video after the couple learned the sex of their baby. “I had said that I thought we would probably have a boy, but I was still surprised that I was actually right on that.”
Kendra, who initially thought the couple was “gonna have a girl,” said of what she’s looking forward to about having a boy: “I’m excited about all of the little outfits you can put on him and the little bowties.”
Added Joseph: “I think the thing that most excites me about having a son is that I’m going to be able to raise him up, teach him a lot of things that I do and I think that a lot of our interests will probably be similar.”
Since learning that she will be a first-time mom to a son, the mama-to-be plans to add more blue to the newlyweds’ nursery.
“Right now, the nursery color scheme is more greys and white, but we’ll probably end up putting a little more touches of blue in there,” she explained. “We have not shopped for any baby clothes yet. I figured we’ll do that after we found out the gender, so I guess we can start now.”

“We are so excited for Joe and Kendra! We know they will be great parents and this little one will be such a blessing!” said the family patriarch and matriarch. “We are thankful for all of our precious grandchildren!!”
