Joy-Anna Duggar Opens Up On Counting On

The premiere episode of Counting On was filled with honesty and baby news. Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth spoke about their heartwrenching and shocking miscarriage of baby Annabell Elise at 20 weeks. 

The young couple reflected on the moment they learned the terrible news saying "Austin and I decided we wanted to go in for our 20-week ultrasound to find out the gender and laid out the bed and she was going to tell us the gender and she was like, 'I don't hear a heartbeat' and she was like, 'See, there's your baby's heart' and no heartbeat. And a first I was like, 'Oh, is your monitor messed up or whatever?' But then I realized what she was telling us and I was just devastated. I broke down crying."

26-year old Austin said "At that moment, you're like 'Is this really happening? Something must be wrong.' It's pretty hard." He spoke about worrying about his wife as well, Joy-Anna had to be induced so Austin said "I just kept thinking, 'I want my wife to be okay. I want her to make it through this,' so when we had the baby it was such a relief that Joy got through it fine and just that, I think, we could start the grieving process and start healing and getting through life."

The two decided to name the angel Annabell Elise and decided to bury her in a place that meant a lot to them both. Annabell Elise was buried at Fort Rock "because a lot of our special things happened out there. We got engaged, we started dating out there, so after having Annabell, we buried her out at Fort Rock." The two also lovingly put a headstone and planted a tree where she has been buried to they can "watch her grow."

Joy-Anna said this "brought even more closure for me and just knowing that our family is able to move on." The tough family luckily has a huge and strong support system that has been helping them through the loss. Now, Joy-Anna and Austin are expecting a healthy baby girl on the way and are excited to bring their son a big sister!
