Anna Duggar, the wife of eldest son Josh from "19 Kids and Counting," is well past her due date for the very first time, and the whole Duggar family is eagerly waiting for her to give birth to the newest member of the family.

The family shared a photo of her beside her sister-in-law Jessa Seewald, who is pregnant with her first child with husband Ben Seewald, on their Facebook page and wrote, "Well, sweet Anna is now past her due date! First time she has ever gone 'late' instead of early! Here she is with our Jessa. Be praying for these girls. Pretty soon we will get to kiss the sweet face of another Duggar grandbaby!!!"

Anna is pregnant with her and Josh's fourth baby—a daughter. The happy couple already has three kids named Mackynzie, Michael, and Marcus. They have not revealed yet what they will name their new daughter.

Patience is something Anna really needs right now, especially since there are so many people who are waiting in anticipation for Duggar grandbaby number five to arrive. And while she admitted that "being patient does not always come naturally" to her, Anna said she still tries her best to practice it.

"I remind myself to stop and breathe and pray. I ask God how He would handle the situation. If we humble ourselves and go to God for wisdom, He will be there to answer us," she earlier shared in the Duggar Family Blog. "Patience is not something that we can fully achieve because there will always be those frustrations in life. But there will always be a perfect response, and it's not always easy to figure out what that is, but that is what we are working towards."
