Jinger Duggar And Husband Jeremy Vuolo Welcome First Child

Television personality Jinger Duggar and her husband Jeremy Vuolo welcomed their first child, a baby girl, Friday.

"God is so kind! Jinger gave birth to Felicity Nicole Vuolo this morning at 4:37 am. Felicity weighs 8lbs. and 3oz. and is 19.5 inches long. Both mom and baby are healthy, doing great, and resting well. We are very thankful for her safe arrival and look forward to life as parents," the couple said in a statement on Duggar's family site.

The couple got married in November 2016 and announced the pregnancy in January.

“The past fourteen months have been the best of our lives as we have had the wonderful privilege of beginning our journey through life together in marriage,” the couple said in a statement in January.

“We both looked forward to the joys of marriage but neither one of us fully understood just how amazing the start of this journey would be. Truly, the Lord’s mercies are new every morning! Now, the journey has taken an exciting turn: we are expecting our first child. We are praising God for this beautiful gift and ask that you join us in praying for a safe and healthy pregnancy,” the statement read.

Ever since the announcement, the 24-year-old reality star has been documenting the baby journey on social media. She also did chalkboard countdowns at important weeks of pregnancy.

In an interview with US weekly in March, Duggar said, “Now that I’m halfway through my pregnancy, we haven’t really collected anything. A friend of ours had some stuff they were getting rid of, so that was really nice because they were able to give us baby swings and things like that that we needed, but we haven’t started on anything as far as prep for the baby.”

"I'm trying to just enjoy the pregnancy and I know that when that baby comes I'm going to be super excited to see it," she said. "I want my mom definitely at the birth of our child and so I've invited her and Jana as well and Jill, she wants to make it. So they're invited, but I don't know how many will be able to make it. My mom, at this point, is the only one who's probably going to be able to make it for the birth."

In April, the couple announced they were expecting a daughter.

“We could not be more excited and are eagerly anticipating meeting our little lady this summer. We especially love thinking forward and realizing that she will have excellent role models in both of her grandmothers, who cannot wait to shower her with love,” they told People.
