Eight isn’t enough -- and apparently neither was 19.

Michelle Duggar and her husband Jim Bob made the surprising announcement Tuesday that they are expecting their 20th child.

"We are so excited," Michelle Duggar told the Today show in an exclusive interview.

Michelle  -- who’s three and a half months pregnant --  says she was surprised to discover that she's expecting again at 45. "I was not thinking that God would give us another one, and we are just so grateful."

Michelle says she's over her first-trimester morning sickness and has been craving dill pickles. She says she hasn’t had any health issues and that she’s been working out five or six days a week for the past year. "I'm really in better shape than I've been in 20 years," she said.

When Michelle Duggar gave birth to her 19th child on Thursday it was a time of great joy for the star of the TLC series 18 Kids and Counting, but with the baby arriving at only 1 pound, 6 ounces, the challenges ahead could be daunting.

Baby Josie was delivered three months early via emergency Caesarean section, and because of her size faces "challenges that could include cerebral palsy, deafness, blindness [and] chronic respiratory problems," Dr. Manny Alvarez, chairman of the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Science at Hackensack University Medical Center told FoxNews.com.

Duggar Baby Arrives Early

Michelle Duggar was initially admitted to her hospital in Arkansas to evaluate pain related to gallbladder disease. "Her workup revealed signs and symptoms consistent with a condition known as preeclampsia,"explained Dr. Paul Wendel of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Preeclampsia occurs in 5 to 8% of all pregnancies and is characterized by high blood pressure. The decision was made "that Mrs. Duggar needed an emergency c-section to ensure the blood pressure problem would not be detrimental to her or the baby," Dr. Wendel explained.

The Duggars have become the most high-profile family on TLC since the demise of Jon & Kate Plus 8.
