'Counting On' news: Jinger Vuolo is pregnant with first child

"Counting On" stars Jinger Duggar and husband Jeremy Vuolo are expecting their first child.

The couple, who has been married for 14 months, announced the good news on their website on Thursday.

In a short clip, the couple revealed that Jinger has a bun in the oven and that they are very thrilled to find out that a little Vuolo is on the way.

"It's hard to believe that we are at this new stage in life," Jinger added, before making a fearless forecast, "I think it's going to be a boy."

Jeremy agrees with her intuition, but is still keeping his hopes up, that he could have a "little princess." Whatever the gender, Jinger says, "We're happy any way."

"I am hoping, praying, that the baby will act like, talk like, be like Jinger," added the 30-year-old pastor in the clip, which has his wife blushing. He then encouraged their fans to pray, that their little one would not be like him as a child, saying he was a "terror" back then. Jinger, however, hopes that the baby will be "kind and gracious" like her husband.

While looking at each other's eyes, the 24-year-old mother-to-be shared what they are really most excited about.

"I think we're most looking forward to just having this little kid in our arms and being parents," she shared.

The couple is also very excited about renovating their spare bedroom for their little one. They plan to get to work as soon as they know the baby's gender. But before anything else, they plan to get as much sleep as they can now, knowing that they will not have much of that when the baby arrives.

The upcoming baby from the Vuolo couple is the latest addition to the "Counting On" Duggar family. Just two weeks ago, Josh Duggar and his wife Kendra also announced that they were expecting their first child.

"Counting On" returns to the small screens on Feb. 26 on TLC.
