Joy-Anna Duggar Gushes About Austin’s Sacrifices During Her Pregnancy

Joy-Anna Duggar is pregnant, but she thinks her husband, Austin Forsyth, is the one who deserves the praise. The “Counting On” star posted a rare update on her life on Instagram over the weekend, gushing about her better half’s actions over the course of her pregnancy.

“I am so grateful for your sacrificial, Christ-like love,” Joy started off her post, which included a shot of her husband of almost eight months. “I know that through this pregnancy you’ve given and given so much to me and have never expected anything in return.”

Joy went on to thank her husband for being her “best friend” and calling him “the greatest.”

“I love you with all of my heart, honey,” she added before ending the post, signing off with “your girl.”

Duggar fans last got a pregnancy update from the soon-to-be parents in early January. In a video posted to the family’s YouTube page, Austin and Joy congratulated her sister Jinger and husband Jeremy Vuolo on their pregnancy news.

During their portion of the clip, Joy commented on how thrilled she was to know that their child would have a cousin close in age. Austin, meanwhile, joked about his in-laws not being able to “steal” their baby’s name.

“We’re so excited for ya’ll,” he added. “It’s pretty cool that our kids are going to have cousins to play with their age.”

The Duggar couple are not the only ones that have shared updates on the pregnancy. The Duggar Family Blog, which is run by two friends of the Arkansas brood, previously revealed that Joy is due to deliver in early March. More recently, the blog shared that Joy and Austin have plans to keep their baby’s gender a secret until his or her birth.

“Counting On” returns to TLC with new episodes this spring.
