One of the biggest draws to TLC is the show 19 Kids and Counting, a show about the Duggar family and their children which has a huge draw as far as its audience and social media is concerned.  The new season premiered on Tuesday night, and here are some spoilers as well as a preview of what is to come for this latest season. 

Last season on 19 Kids and Counting, Jill Duggar married Derick Dillard, and a wedding is also in the pipeline for this season as Jessa Duggar got engaged to Ben Seewald.  According to the Latin Post, the Premeire put this wedding in the spotlight showing that they have two and a half months to plan the wedding, and the cost will run about $10,000 to $20,000. 

After the marriage, the question is where Jessa and new husband Seewald will live, and it will apparently be a house that Jim Bob has picked out.  This house is Grandma Duggar's small house that Josh and Anna Duggar once lived in for five years. 

One thing that will definitely be a surprise for the family this year is something that fans of the show as well as social media followers of the Duggar family already know:  Jill is pregnant.  The Inquistir has revealed how Jill will reveal this to the rest of the extended family as Jill will "admit that she stole something of her mom's".  What she stole will be a home pregnancy test, and it will have a positive result. 

The baby is expected to arrive in March of this year, as the family's real life does not follow what is seen on the seasons of the television show.  For example, the wedding of Jessa and Ben already took place on November 1st, attended by about 1,000 family and friends, which will probably be an interesting episode this season. 

Fans have been wondering if Jessa and Ben will soon break the news that there is a new child on the way, but much of this season of 19 Kids and Counting will focus on how Jill and Derick adjust to married life as well as their new baby boy, as well as the Jessa and Ben wedding. 

Jill Duggar recently ignited a bit of a controversy with an Instragram photo taken around Valentine's Day.  According to the Inquistir, the photo contained candy treats, a framed photo of Jill and Derick, a Bible opened to Song of Solomon, and...a bottle of champagne?  Considering that the Duggars do not drink alcohol, and Jill is pregnant, a lot of people responded in shock.  However, it turned out the bottle was nothing more than cider, and hardly anything to be alarmed about. 

Those who want to check out the latest season of 19 Kids and Counting should check it out on its regular airtime on TLC on Tuesdays at 9/8.  You can also head over to the TLC site for streaming of episodes, but I'm not certain if it covers live streaming.
