Joy-Anna Duggar's pregnancy not featured in 'Counting On' finale

Joy-Anna Duggar and Joe Duggar have both enjoyed the spotlight recently with the former's pregnancy and the latter's wedding. However, the bun in the oven was not featured in the finale of the Duggar family's reality show, "Counting On."

Joy's pregnancy has been the subject of controversy ever since she tied the knot with Austin Forsythe in May. They were supposed to wed in October, but for unclear reasons, they moved her big day to late May. This sparked rumors that she may have been already pregnant, hence the rush to the altar.

However, Joy and Austin did not confirm the pregnancy until this August. The couple was mum about the details like how far along she is, when the due date or month is, or when they conceived the child. However, weeks after the announcement, on Joe's big day, eagle-eyed fans who scrutinized the pictures from the wedding noticed she was sporting a baby bump that was apparently too big to be just three months along.

Many fans waited for the wedding episode to air to clarify these rumors, to no avail. While the finale did center on Joe and Kendra's big day, the Hollywood Gossip says it did not address the newest Duggar pregnancy. Then again, this could just be the show focusing on Joe and Kendra. It is their wedding, after all.

Regardless, Joy has long desired to have children of her own even before she got married, and she is most certainly carrying the Duggar's legacy of creating a big family. "We want as many as the Lord thinks we can handle," Joy-Anna previously said unambiguously. "And we are putting it into his hands."

There is still no word on when Joy is due as of writing, but if they conceived on their wedding night, the little one should arrive in early March. Fans can only hope the couple would spill more details soon.
