Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar are first time grandparents. Their son Josh Duggar and his wife Anna are the proud parents of a new baby daughter, Mackynzie Renee Duggar.

The newest Duggar was born on Thursday night at home with the assistance of a midwife, weighing in at 8 pound and measuring 19-1/2 inches long. Baby Mackynzie is the first child for the young couple who wed in September 2008.

The Duggar family appears weekly on the TLC reality show 18 Kids and Counting. The show has already undergone one name change following the birth in late December of Michelle and Jim Bob’s youngest child, Jordyn-Grace.

Michelle Duggar and the rest of the family made a live Today Show broadcast from their Arkansas home on September 1, 2009 to announce that they will welcome another baby on March 18, 2010. See photos and video here.
