Sharing multiple sonograms in a March 7 Instagram post, the 32-year-old wrote, “I’m on my way to hold you in our arms!”
But soon, the news quickly sparked online criticism, urging the former TLC star to defend her decision to grow her extended family.
“To be honest, I’ve heard a lot of rude and unnecessary comments, but generally, “You’re breeding like a rabbit,” or “You’re crazy,” “Are you trying to follow in your mom’s footsteps? “I don’t have 19 children, but honestly, my mom is my hero.”
In fact, Jessa continued to spurt about Michelle, who shares 19 children with Jim Bob Duggar, inspires her in many areas of her life.
“I love her, I worship her,” she continued. “She is a role model in so many ways. Her patience, her love, her kindness, her kind speech. She is, in my opinion, a golden example of mothers. So people say, “Do you want to be like your mother?” I’m like, “Yes, Lord, help me.” ”
