The Duggars: Who Knows How Many in Counting...

Point of View-Jessa

I didn't want to tell anyone in my family about the news. They all knew Ben and I were expecting but no one knew how many. We had kept it on the down-low like we did with the other two children. We already have our two children, Spurgeon and Erin, and are in the process of adopting as well but life gets crazy. We had an ultrasound done today and found out we're expecting triplets!!! It's a first for the Duggar family so far but that means we went from 1 child to 2 to 6! That is going to be really tough for us but if it is Gods plan for us, we will take it.

We also got news about our child from Indonesia. It's a boy that had just turned the age of 5. We want to name him Michael after Bens father of James after my father however Josh already has Michael James.

We don't want to tell my family about it because we want to make sure things are sorted out before we talk. There are three girls names and three boys names in mind for the triplets; Haley, Paige and Eliza for the girls; Elijah, Michael or James for the boys.

At home, we heard an ear piercing scream from the back room. Ben and I both went running, only to find that Spurgeon had fallen and was sitting on the ground holding his arm. Then Erin toddles in and runs into a cabinet. Spurgeon is 5 years old. He had brown hair like myself, a Duggar nose, and more of my facial features. Erin is 2. She's full of energy. She has more of Bens features. Ben picked up Spurgeon and automatically said "We need to go to the hospital. This doesn't look right!"
I got Erin ready and off we went.
On the way, Spurgeon explained that he was climbing up on the cabinet to get a toy when he slipped and fell onto his arm. Needless to say, Spurgeon had a broken arm. Erin had a little bump in between her eyebrows but nothing major. I realized that through all of this chaos, I had left my phone at home.

Once we got home I checked my phone and realized I had missed 5 phone calls from Mama. I immediately phoned her back.
