She also gave me an update on her new granddaughter Mackynzie Renee (daughter-in-law Anna gave birth on October 8th).<br \/>\n&#8220;Oh, she is so sweet,&#8221; said Michelle, who is currently pregnant with her 19th child. &#8220;People have always said being a grandparent is wonderful. Well it is! Just the joy of getting to love on that little one. And then knowing that all of the responsibility is not on your shoulders. [Laughs] I think that&#8217;s possibly the reason it&#8217;s so wonderful. You have that love flowing back and forth and yet you&#8217;re not the one carrying the full responsibility. Of course, we&#8217;re always there, and available, and praying for them. She is so sweet, so precious and Josh and Anna are doing such a good job.&#8221;<br \/>\nCongrats to the Duggar family!<br \/>\nFor more on The Duggars, check out <a
