I’ve been on Duggar baby watch for the last few weeks now, and I’m so glad I was, because Jessa and Ben’s third baby decided to make her debut early.
The couple welcomed their third child and first daughter a few days ago and just released the first photo of this new arrival on social media.

We also found out her beautiful name. Keep reading to meet the newest member of the Duggar family!
The Duggar family is growing again!
If you’re like me, you’ve probably lost count of how many there are at this point, especially since a number of Jim Bob and Michelle’s older children have started their own families.
Back in January, Jessa announced that she was expecting her third child with her husband, Ben Seewald.
Ben and Jessa are the parents to three-year-old Spurgeon and two-year-old Henry. We were so excited to meet their newest addition.
At 3- weeks, Jessa shared this bump photo with fans on her Instagram.
She said for this pregnancy, the baby was measuring ahead of Henry but smaller than Spurgeon. Jessa and Ben also didn’t release the baby’s gender, so fans tried to guess what she was having based on how she was carrying.
Just last week, Jessa posted another update and it looked like she was going to give birth any day.
She was 38-weeks in this photo, but it definitely looked like the baby was going to come before its official due date. Also, was Jessa’s pink shirt a hint that she was having a baby girl?
Well, Ivy Jane Seewald made her debut on May 26, 2019.
Jessa said that both of her last pregnancies went past her due date, so she was so surprised that Ivy was early.
Here’s a photo of Ivy posted by Jessa’s sister, Jana.
Ivy came in weighing 7 lbs 14 oz and is 20 1/2 inches long. Jessa says Ivy’s big brothers already adore her. Congrats to the family!
Online, Jessa shared the news of Ivy’s arrival on Instagram and the extended Duggar family offered their congratulations.
Jessa’s sister-in-law, Anna, and her sister, Jinger, congratulated the family on their new addition and gushed over her name.
Here’s a few more messages of support from The Duggars.
Joy and Jana Duggar, two more of Jessa’s sisters also congratulated Jessa and Ben. I’m sure they’re so happy to be aunties again.
So glad to hear that this family is doing well. Congrats to the Seewald family!
