19 Kids and Counting's Jana and Jinger open up about having their lives shown on reality TV

The eldest unmarried Duggar daughters from 19 Kids and Counting - Jana and Jinger - have been talking about the benefits of having a camera crew following them around all the time and filming every moment of their lives.

The lack of privacy is not for everybody, but both Jana and Jinger do not seem to mind at all because they feel like the camera crew is capturing important life memories that they would like to see and remember when they get older.

"Having cameras around all the time is kind of like capturing home videos," Jinger, 21 told PEOPLE. "So, like, years down the road, we'll watch things and be like, 'Oh my goodness, I cannot believe I did that!'"

Jinger added that it is pretty "awesome" to have their families' lives documented so that people can also witness their family's Christian ministry.

Jana, 25, agreed with her younger sister.

"You get that home footage pretty much all the time, so you get those memories that have been made together, and it's really special to look back on those times," she shared.

Some of the more significant moments the camera crew were able to capture recently were the birth of their nephew Israel David Dillard, as well as the announcement made by their sister Jessa that she is expecting a child. Before Jessa gives birth, however, the cameras will place its focus on Anna, their eldest brother Josh's wife as she delivers their fourth child - a daughter.

Their parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are overwhelmed with joy that their three grandchildren - Mackynzie, Michael, and Marcus will be joined by three more babies this year alone.

"The multiplication process has begun!" Michelle joked to The Morning Blend. "I am just so thankful to have all these grandbabies coming along, doubling the number of grandchildren this year."
