They surprised their family at the reveal.
Later in the video, the couple's family and friends surrounded them at the baby's reveal. They were initially given one balloon that read "He or She? Pop to see." In a smart decoy, Jed "accidentally" let go of the balloon.
As their loved ones stood around in shock, the couple yelled for a backup balloon. They were then brought two balloons, one for each baby, and their loved ones were shocked even more to learn they are having twins.
The couple have two other children.
Jed and Katey have two children: son Truett Oliver Duggar and daughter Nora Kate Duggar. "Our children, Truett and Nora, have no idea just how much their lives are about to change with the arrival of their new sisters," they wrote in the post. "We’re excited to watch their bond as siblings grow and to see the fun and love multiply in our home! This new chapter will bring endless joy and shared adventures for our whole family!"
This marks the first twin grandbabies in the Duggar family.
Jed and Katey's excitement multiplied at the news "knowing they will be the first twin grandbabies in the Duggar family," they shared. "We appreciate all of your prayers and support as we prepare for this wonderful new part of our family’s journey."
