I grew up in a house with 7 brothers. And it was only 960 square feet, and it wasn't until I was 14 that they were able to put a basement underneath the house. 3 bedrooms, one bath for years and never felt cramped. We were clean. We were organized and back then. We were happy.
I fwasnr very happy when I found out I was pregnant for the third time. I went to the hospital at 14 wks was examined, despite telling them.I had been so terribly sick for the first 12 wks which I hadnt experienced before, the Dr told us all seemed fine. As big went for a scan at 20 wks where it was discovered we were expecting identical twin girls. They were born exactly 1 werk early in under 2 hours. No epidural and the first born by forceps. They were the best babies and have been a true blessing. Abby & Paige are now 30. Good luck and God bless xx
Just sharing a thought- when you come home from the hospital, bring a new baby doll for Nora with all the things so she can care for her “baby” the same as mommy. My mother did this with my sister. It worked great
What a blessing!! My grandma had 3 sets of twins in a row! She had 6 singles and then 3 sets of twins in a row for a total of 12. I was so hoping for twins! Wishing you a safe and healhy delivery!🩷🩷
You guys are just so sweet & organized! So exciting! Cannot wait to see the girls. Truett & Nora are adorable and growing up fast! Thanks for sharing! Oh, side note this is crazy for me because I still remember Jed when he was itty bitty when I started watching the show time just goes so fast!
I absolutely love his wife so much she’s so beautiful she’s honest not fake and down to earth .. beautiful couple ❤❤❤❤❤❤congratulations on the twin girls 💖💜
My first pregnancy was identical twin girls. It doesn't run anywhere on either side of the family, so they were a huge surprise. I had them at 35 weeks 5 days, and they were 5 lbs 4 oz and 4 lbs 6 oz. They are almost 14 now, and although they look exactly alike, their personalities are totally different. They are each others best friend and I love it!
Oh my goodness that is awesome you are an Arizona native! We just retired from Massachusetts to Arizona Sun city West . Only been here for a year but love it! Katey you look amazing for having twins! Giving your children a good foundation for their walk with Jesus is the best gift you can give them, Merry Christmas guys.Good luck! can't wait for the twins arrival.
My great grandmother had 12 children and three of those pregnancies were twins. My grandmother being one of the sets of twins. Congratulations, you two!! 🎉
I only made it to 34 weeks with 2 boys. Both 5 lbs. They were in premie clothes for a long time!! God bless. It should be so much better for you having done this twice, you're a pro. Praying for a safe and healthy delivery.
Good for you keeping your plans to travel. By the time our oldest was ten we had traveled the whole US a few times. It is a great way to teach them the geography and history of our country. Later we traveled Europe so they understood and could put their feet’s more planted in what they learned in their senior school years. Best of luck and the lords hands with your delivery and recovery.
You are absolutely gorgeous Katey. From the back you do not even look pregnant! Such a wonderful example of a christ centered marriage & family. Blessings for the Christmas season & a Happy New Year. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us.
Katey you look amazing! Praying for a safe delivery for the babies and hope everything goes well when the time comes! The nursery is absolutely adorable! ☺️
I'm so happy for you both! It's always nice to see anything on the Duggars. Everyone is growing up. I always watched your show on tv. Best Wishes to you both!
Identicals can definitely be separate sac and separate placenta if it split very early! Definitely more likely fraternal though as long as they also each have their own placenta.
Yes they sound like they are fraternal to me too. If her mother’s father was a twin, the genetic predisposition would pass to her mother and then to her as obviously if it’s a male that generation gets skipped. With both sides now it leaves their girls with a high chance of twins and Truetts daughters if he has any, not Truett and his wife though.
You really look fantastic with this twin pregnancy. I was all baby & only gained 27lbs but was big as a house in my belly cause I’m only 5’1. I went to 37weeks & 4days & was miserable. Begged the Dr to take me. Then had a boy 6lb 13oz 😮 & a girl 4lb 13oz. They are 20yr olds now & best friends ❤. Blessings for an easy birth & healthy sleepy heads 😂
Twins still experience life differently from each other. Being born identical would be an amazing gift. They will always see things from their own space so they will become their own people, just like us singletons. Congratulations and God bless! Good luck!!
Congratulations Jed and Katey on your twin girls!!! May God bless you with an easy labor and delivery Katey!!! May they be happy and healthy twins!!! 🙂♥️🙏💕👶👶
Thank you for sharing!! I had an epidural and forceps delivery with my first baby, then all natural with my second. I always tell everyone to give birth however it feels best for you. An epidural allowed me to have some rest and pain relief after my first 20 hours in labor. For my second baby I was in the hospital for 4 hours and pushed 2 while times so that labor was super easy in comparison. The important thing is that they arrive safely and healthy. Katey and Jed, you and your beautiful children are in my prayers. ❤❤❤
How exciting that you are having twins! I always wanted to have twins. I love your outlook on everything! Have a wonderful delivery of those beautiful girls! I look forward to seeing your announcement. 😃
Yes I had a dream I was expecting twin boys the night before my 20 week ultrasound.(yep they were missed at my first ultrasound) Sure enough the next day on the screen up popped two babies. Both boys! Dreams do come true! Haha. They are 14 now and a joy. Have had 3 more girls since. Would love another set of twins.
My daughter is married to a r Triplet. She has three sets of twins and they are all boys identical. They are ages 8, 12 , and 16. Just when they thought that they were through having kids boom she finds out that she's 5 months pregnant. So on Christmas 2025 she gave birth to identically twin girls!!! My mom gave birth to 19 kids. She's 86 years old and gave birth to her 19rh child at 55. My mom has no twins at all. My mom's oldest child is 66 and youngest is 31 years old. Children are truly a blessing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
We have twin girls that were in separate sacs and they turned out to be identical! We didn’t know that was a possibility so we told everyone that they were fraternal. DNA later revealed that they are identical. It’s a fun journey, God bless!
What a miracle and blessing!! Wow you look amazing!!! Such an exciting event!!! Praying everything goes well with Mom and babies!! 🙏🙏 Wishing you guys a Merry Christmas!🎄🎄💗
You are an amazing couple. I really enjoyed the Q,/A. Thank you for sharing. And showing us all your nursery is beautiful. Praying for you all. Have a lovely Christmas.
I've always heard that twins skipped a generation? Praying you have a safe and healthy delivery! I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas! 🎄Thanks for sharing!
Not always. My husband is an identical twin, and his twin has identical twin boys. It’s just the luck of the draw with identical twins - there’s not as strong a genetic component as you would expect.
My birthday is December 30th. My oldest child, my son, was born on January 7th, he was actually due on the 16th. He was 38 yesterday. Congratulations on your twins. Many happy blessings to you.
I just had my 3rd baby last Tuesday. I came home from the hospital on Thursday. Both kids 9&3 have been having trouble adjusting. Our 3 year old has been the worst 😩 he doesn’t understand
If they share a placenta and are in separate sacs, then they're identical. If there are 2 placentas and 2 sacs, they are most likely fraternal. My oldest grandson is a Truett, but then there's a girl, then a set of identical boys (all the same age spacing as your 4). It was a lot of work but so sweet.
My twin grandsons (we don't think they're identical, more mirror - one has tiny mole on left side of neck, the other has tiny mole on right side of neck, dimple on opposite sides) were a pretty unique set of deliveries. The oldest a natural birth, the youngest an emergency c-section. They were 31 minutes apart, both healthy and over 5 pounds at 37 weeks. They're pretty much grown now and doing great! The best of luck to you all.
Just came across your channel and subscribed right away 😊. Good luck on keeping the girls in until after Christmas, you got this lol! Jokes aside, God will know exactly when the time for their arrival is just right. Much love from this grandma in Wilsonville Oregon who watched you and your family grow up. Thank you for sharing ❤️.
Is it just me or are all the Duggar woman absolutely gorgeous! All of the sisters and wives are just drop dead beautiful.
I grew up in a house with 7 brothers. And it was only 960 square feet, and it wasn't until I was 14 that they were able to put a basement underneath the house. 3 bedrooms, one bath for years and never felt cramped. We were clean. We were organized and back then. We were happy.

My mother did this with my sister. It worked great
A doll baby for each of the older ones would be nice.
That is such a great idea!

I had boy/girl twins in 81. Went into labor at 32 weeks not knowing I was having twins.. Twins are so fun! Best wishes!
Wow that's amazing! Twins are such a blessing!
Katie is GORGEOUS. Looks like a model. Wish you all the best with the rest of your pregnancy and a smooth/uneventful delivery and recovery
We appreciate that, and we’re hoping for the same!
I absolutely love his wife so much she’s so beautiful she’s honest not fake and down to earth .. beautiful couple ❤❤❤❤❤❤congratulations on the twin girls 💖💜

Thank you so much!
Praying for a safe and healthy labor& delivery of your precious twin baby girls
Can't wait to hear the names
Congratulations on the. Twin girls!
My twin grandsons (we don't think they're identical, more mirror - one has tiny mole on left side of neck, the other has tiny mole on right side of neck, dimple on opposite sides) were a pretty unique set of deliveries. The oldest a natural birth, the youngest an emergency c-section. They were 31 minutes apart, both healthy and over 5 pounds at 37 weeks. They're pretty much grown now and doing great! The best of luck to you all.
Your grandsons are identical. It just means the embryo split slightly later but not late enough to make them conjoined.
Glad I found your UA-cam channel enjoyed it. God bless your delivery
