Jinger Duggar Gives Birth, Welcomes Baby No. 3 With Jeremy Vuolo
A new leaf has sprouted on the Duggar family tree.
Jinger Duggar—who appeared on the family’s 19 Kids and Counting reality series—welcomed her third baby, a little boy named Finnegan Charles Vuolo, with husband Jeremy Vuolo March 29.
"Baby's doing great. I'm feeling exhausted but otherwise, it was a pretty fairly great delivery," Jinger said in a YouTube video posted March 30, which shows her sitting beside her partner at their home as he holds their newborn. "I'm just so thankful to God that we have this healthy baby boy here with us."
Finnegan, who weighed 8 pounds and one ounces and measured 21 inches upon birth, was bornfive months after the parents announced they were expecting a sibling for daughters Felicity, 6 and Evangeline, 4 in October.
"One of the most special moments for us was when the girls got to come to the hospital and meet this little guy," Jeremy said, "and my family as well."
Jinger said Felicity was "amazing" and "super excited" to meet her baby brother. Jeremy added, "The first thing she said was, 'It's so cute.'"
Although expanding their family was a goal for the couple—who tied the knot in 2016—the news still shocked the former soccer player.
“When she told me, I was literally speechless,” Jeremy told People about his wife in an October interview. “She got me good. It was on Felicity's birthday. Jinger says, ‘I've got a gift for you.’ It was in an Amazon bag. So I'm thinking, 'What did she get from Amazon for me?' Then I open it up and it's the positive result, and I'm actually speechless.”

As for informing the rest of their squad, Jinger—the sixth of Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar’s 19 children—had a game plan, surprising Felicity and Evangeline with ultrasound photos and “Big Sis” jackets at a family photoshoot.
“Felicity started jumping up and down in excitement over the news,” Jinger shared. “Evangeline wasn't quite sure what to make of the news. But we are certain that once the baby arrives, she will be all about her new role as big sis.”

And their youngest isn’t the only one stepping into a new role, with the couple embracing their new life as boy parents.
“If it was another little girl, being a girl dad has been incredible,” Jeremy—who admitted the couple is “curious” about being parents to a boy—said, with Jinger adding, “We’re happy either way!”
Despite coming from a large family of her own, Jinger has no plans of continuing the tradition.
“Three was kind of what we had always said was a really good number," explained the author of People Pleaser: Breaking Free from the Burden of Imaginary Expectations. “Three or four. I don't know. But I think three is what I'm leaning towards right now.”
