The TLC siblings and their spouses touched on several topics in the most recent episode of The Jinger & Jeremy Podcast, and among them was their family size.
In January, Jed and Katey welcomed twin daughters, Emma and Elsie. They also have a son, Truett, 3, and a daughter, Nora, 2—but for a few months, the young couple had four kids ages 2 and under.
This jaw-dropping fact is a feat that even Michelle and Jim Bob didn't accomplish with their first four kids. That's because when their fourth child, , was born, their twins, and were 1, and their eldest son, , was already 3.
'We've known each other five years,' Katey said of having four kids in four years of marriage with her Counting On husband. 'So when we look at it like that, we're like, 'Wow, this has been crazy.''
'That's insane,' Jinger echoed.
It's worth noting, however, that Michelle and Jim Bob later had four kids ages 2 and under: Josiah Duggar was still 2 and was 1 when twins Jed and were born in December 1998.
Later, Jeremy asked Katey and Jed if they planned on adding more kids to their brood and to that, Jed shared, "We're just praying about that."
'We would love to just enjoy the kids we have right now for a good minute,' Katey stressed. 'It's an insanely busy season, the little years, especially because we have two infants right now. It's just all hands on deck at all times 24/7.'
The couple also revealed they want "five or six kids" in total—but time will tell what number they ultimately reach as they continue "counting on."
(And for those wondering—no, they didn't name their oldest child, Truett, after the Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy.)
Meanwhile, Jed's older sister, , is pregnant and due with her sixth baby in July.
