Duggar's pregnancy blog is one of only a handful of pregnancy updates she’s provided in the tumultuous weeks since news broke that her brother Josh Duggar molested Jessa, their sister, Jill, two other siblings, and the family babysitter, when he was 14. In her latest post, Duggar thanked fans for their tireless support of her and her family.

"We want to pause a moment and thank all of you who have been lifting us up in prayer. We are so grateful and blessed," said the 19 Kids and Counting star, who bravely opened up about her brother's abuse in a Fox News interview earlier this month.
