Counting On stars Lauren and Josiah got married on 30th June 2018. They were engaged for over three months before they tied the knot. They named their firstborn child Asa. However, last year, Lauren had a miscarriage. The couple shared the sad news on Instagram. She stated, “Many of yall don’t know this, but a couple of months ago, we found out we were expecting, however, soon after we miscarried.” But they are sure of one thing — the couple plans on having a large family.

It was a tragic loss for the couple. However, in May 2019, they announced that Lauren was pregnant again. In early November, she gave birth to daughter Bella. The little girl is only a month old. Fans have been wondering whether Lauren and Josiah are planning on having more kids in the future. But it turns out that the couple has already made their revelation about wanting to have a big family.

According to TV Shows Ace, when the couple hosted the gender reveal party of Bella, they made another revelation. They talked about naming the babies and revealed that they named their miscarried baby Asa. From that point on, they made a decision that they are going to name their kids in alphabetical order.
When Jim Bob, Josiah’s dad, found out about this, he teased the couple, saying that they should name their J baby as Jim. Josiah readily agreed. He also went on to say that they will name even a 10th girl child Jim, if it comes to that.

We have noticed that the entire family is using patterns for naming the kids in the family. Josiah and all his siblings have names that begin from J. Josh and Anna are using the alphabet M for naming their kids. As fans already know, Josiah has 18 siblings. Lauren is already a mom, and she is just 20 years old. So, we can say that they have a lot of time to expand the size of their families.
She said that when she was giving birth to Bella, she had a really difficult labor. However, that doesn’t seem to stop the couple from having more kids. Let us know what you think of Lauren and Josiah’s family plans in the comments below.
