Michelle Duggar, the mom of 19, hopes to be "blessed" with baby No. 20 soon. She suffered a miscarriage in 2011.

The “19 Kids and Counting” reality star told Celebrity Baby Scoop that she and her husband, Jim Bob Duggar are not expecting, but another pregnancy is possible.

Duggar said she would be “so grateful if the lord blessed us with another one. We’re trying at this point and we shall see if that is a possibility. If not, we are so thankful and grateful for the ones that God has given us so far. We are also definitely enjoying our grandbabies! They are so precious!”

As to the impact multiple pregnancies have had on her body, Duggar told the site, “Exercising and eating right definitely makes a difference. My health is good and I am grateful for that. I think it could be different; every person struggles with different things, but I am so grateful that my health is good and I am able to enjoy running and chasing my little ones around at this point in my life.”

Duggar said the biggest misconception people have about her family is their idea that it's too large.

“My daughter Jill said to us, ‘Mom, Dad, I don’t understand why people would say that. Love really, truly multiplies…it doesn’t divide. When you have more people in the family, there is that many more people to spread love all around!’ I think Jill said it very wisely; love does multiply. It’s a joy, because there are that many more people and that much more love in the house!”

The Duggars, parents of 19 children whose names all begin with “J,” have three grandchildren. In April, the Duggars said they were considering adoption during a "Today" interview.

“We’re praying about if the Lord would want us to adopt,” Michelle said then.

The couple celebrated their 29th anniversary on Tuesday’s episode of their show.
