It's been a busy summer for the Duggar family.
In addition to countless pregnancy announcements, the Counting On clan has been forced to grapple with the death of Mary Duggar, as well as the usual barrage of criticism and mini-scandals.
One week after becoming a mother for the third time, Jessa Duggar has opened up about giving birth to her brand new daughter.
And she's giving us a fresh look at little Ivy Jane Seewald in the process.
Given the ultra-strict, ultra-conservative nature of their upbringing, it's no surprise that several of Jim Bob Duggars' children have chosen to forge their own paths in adulthood.
The most famously rebellious Duggar is Jinger, who chose to marry a man her father wasn't crazy about, move out of state, and flout the infamous Duggar dress code by wearing pants.
Jessa Duggar Seewald is giving her fans a peek at the newest tiny addition to the family of 4.
The Counting On star shared the 'first look' picture with us via Instagram Wednesday, January 30, so we could all enjoy the cuteness.
For as much richly-deserved criticism as the Duggars attract online, Jim Bob and Michelle's offspring actually possess many fine qualities.
They prioritize family; they seem to have strong work ethics and very keen instincts when it comes to pulling in big bucks; and for as much flak as they've taken for their mildly-creepy perma-grins, the members of Arkanas' third most famous family (it's tough to top the Clintons and Waltons), we can't help but admire these kids for their sunny dispositions.
Jessa Duggar is refusing to let critics get her down. Some of you out there may think Jessa is a bad parent, but Duggar thinks otherwise.
And to prove it, or simply because she's yearning to raise another kid, Jessa has made it clear that she's going to expand her family!
Before marriage, members of the Duggar clan are basically forbidden to even look at members of the opposite sex.
After they get hitched, however, they're encouraged to share their love with the entire world.
