It’s a girl for Jinger Vuolo and her husband Jeremy!
The Counting On stars welcomed their first child early Thursday morning, the Duggar Family has confirmed.
Jinger and Jeremy named their baby girl Felicity Nicole. (Jinger’s middle name is also Nicole.) Felicity measured 19.5 inches and weighed in at 8 lbs. 3 oz.
“Both mom and baby are healthy, doing great, and resting well,” the couple wrote on their website. “We are very thankful for her safe arrival and look forward to life as parents!”
The couple posted the first photo of their baby. Based on a photo, it appears that Jinger had the baby at a hospital or birthing center. (A hospital bracelet can be seen on the baby’s arm in the photo.) It is not yet known if Jinger first attempted a home birth like her sisters all have.
Jinger is the only one of her married siblings who waited over a year to have her first child. Jinger and Jeremy got married in November 2016 and announced in January of this year that they were expecting.
At 24, she is older than all of her siblings were when they welcomed their first child. (If you care, Josh Duggar was 21 when his first kid, Mackynzie, was born; Jill Dillard was 23 when eldest child Israel was born; Jessa Seewald was one day shy of 23 when her first kid, Spurgeon, was born; Joseph Duggar was 23 when his son Garrett was born last month; and Joy-Anna Forsyth was 20 when her son Gideon was born.)
Anyway, Jeremy posted a cute family pic to his Instagram on the day his daughter Felicity was born.

Congratulations, Jinger & Jeremy! 🙂
I LOVE the name! It means, ” Happiness.” Jinger and Jeremy are my favorite Duggar couple. They’re so normal. please keep this child away from Grandma and Grandpa Duggar as much as possible. I really believe she won’t be raised the way Jinger was at all. Congratulations Jinger and Jeremy!
I don’t think she will be the only one who had a kid later. I have a feeling Josiah will follow her path. (Don’t dissapoint me dude!)
I actually think Josiahs wife is probably already pregnant. Judging from the little I’ve seen of her she seems pretty Michelle Duggar, submissive, pop-em out as fast as possible.
I LOVE the name! They are my favorite couple. They’re the normal ones. I think this little girl will have a perfectly normal childhood, except when she’s around her grandparents and family on that side. Congratulations Jinger and Jeremy! Glad everything seems to have gone well.
So happy for Jinger & Jeremy. They are my favorite couple !
Thank you jinger for leading a normal life and giving your kid a normal name and just being nice.
Baby was born at 4:30 in the morning. If everything went smoothly, she could have been discharged a few hours after.
It’s been a little while since my kids are 9, 7 and almost 5 but the earliest I was discharged was 24 hours after birth. My first it was 48 hours
If you give birth at a hospital, it doesn’t matter what time of day you have baby. You aren’t being discharged a few hours later.
Geeze you guys! The original article didn’t say anything about there being a hospital bracelet on the baby. It said that, based on the picture, it looked like she had a home birth. That’s what I was replying to. Where I live, you can be discharged 8-12 hours after giving birth if everything goes well.
@Dee– yes this is correct. It was a typo I corrected! -The Ashley
It looks like the baby may have a hospital bracelet on.
she is the smart one of the bunch…except maybe Jana
Awe, pretty baby!
