Party of Five is more than just an iconic television show about to be rebooted by Freeform.
It’s also what Jessa Duggar and/or husband Ben Seewald will be saying the next time they are called to sit down at a restaurant after sitting in the waiting area for a little bit.
That’s right, folks: Jessa has given birth to her third child!
We know the child’s gender. We know his/her name. And we even know his/her measurements.
Scroll down for all this information and more!
We’d Been Waiting for This Major Moment
Just take a look at the latest photo Jessa shared on Instagram. She sure looks prepared to pop!
Jessa Had Been Keeping Fans Apprised Throughout Her Pregnancy
This is a picture of her at 25 weeks, for example.
Jessa and Ben Broke Their Huge News in January 2019
“We are overjoyed that God has blessed us with a baby, due late this Spring!†Jessa told Us Weekly at the time. “From the day we found out we were expecting, we both guessed boy, and if our predictions are right then we already have a ton the clothing and accessories ready to pass down!”
Indeed, the Couple Had Two Sons Prior to Now
Spurgeon is three and Henry is two and both are adorable.
But Their Prediction Was Wrong!
Jessa just welcomed a girl into the world!
How Exciting! What’s Her Name?
Ivy Jane Seewald.
What Else Do We Know About Her?
She weighed 7 pounds and 14 ounces and measured 20.5 inches long and was born on May 26.
Thank You, God
“She feels so tiny compared to her siblings!†the couple told Us Weekly exclusively, explaining that their first two kids were born at nearly 10 pounds and close to 9 pounds, respectively. “We’re so grateful to God for this precious gift. She is already so loved. Her big brothers adore her!â€Â
Can We Actually See Her?
Yes, courtesy of Us Weekly. (She’s perfect, isn’t she?)
Another Pic!

But Did Jessa Even Want a Daughter?
Yes. “We would absolutely love it if we found out we were having a girl — though we’ve joked that we’d be starting from square one and might have to learn a few things,” Jessa also told this same tabloid a few months ago.
Can You Tell Us More About the Birth?
You know we can! Wrote Jessa on her family’s official website: We were getting ready for church when my water broke, and we were thinking ‘Well, I guess we have a change of plans!’†After three and a half hours of labor, Ivy was born at 5:57pm.
Why Was This Such a Surprise?
“Her due date was June 5th, and since both of our boys went five days past their due date, we thought we would go late again. We were so surprised when she came two weeks earlier than her brothers,” Jessa continued in this blog post.
What is the Couple’s History?
The two got married in November 2014 at the First Baptist Church in Bentonville, Arkansas. We’ll see them again in new episodes of Counting On this fall.
Amazing. Who’s Next?
We’ll have to wait and see — but A LOT of Duggar women are pregnant right now.
Such As?
Amy Duggar is about 19 weeks along in her first pregnancy.
HA! Your First Child?!?
Anna Duggar is expecting her SIXTH with awful husband Josh.
And Joy-Anna, Too?
Yup. She is expecting her second child at the young age of 21.
Let’s Not Leave Out Kendra
She and Joseph will be welcoming their second kid into the world before 2019 is over.
And Then There’s Lauren Swanson
We’re so exicted about this one because she suffered a miscarriage in October 2018.
Congrats to All!
We can’t wait to see more photos, Jessa!
