John-David and Abbie’s happy news comes during a Duggar baby boom, and is especially exciting for the couple as John-David’s twin sister, Jana Duggar, just announced she is expecting her first baby.

After John-David and Abbie announced their news, Jana reshared the couple’s post on her Instagram Stories and wrote, “Congrats! So excited for you all!!”

On Aug. 18, Jana announced that she’s pregnant and expecting her first baby with husband Stephen Wissmann. The couple’s happy news came almost exactly a year after they got married.

Jana, who is the oldest Duggar daughter, and Wissmann could be seen kissing in one photo and showing off Jana’s growing bump in another. “We are so excited, January 2026 is going to come with a little bundle of joy joining our family!” they wrote in their caption.

“We’re counting down the days and eagerly looking forward to this thrilling new chapter in our lives!”
