Jessa Duggar

It's only been eight months since Jessa Duggar welcomed her third child.

But Jessa is a Duggar, which means that from a young age, she was taught that procreation is her primary reason for being.

Jessa Duggar is 27 years old and has three kids.

Due to her maiden name, however, fans spend very little time cooing over these young children and instead posing a question that basically goes like this:

These are tumultuous times for the Duggar family.

These days, it seems not a week goes by without whispers of another controversy, and the future of the family media empire remains more uncertain than at any point since the Josh Duggar sex scandals.

In a word? Phew.

In many more words? 

In case you haven't heard, there's a civil war going on within the Duggar clan these days.

The Derick-Jim Bob feud is intensifying by the day, and that's just one of many internal divisions tearing apart TV's most famous fundie family.

BREAKING NEWS, celebrity gossip followers:

There are many members of the Duggar family.

Jessa Duggar has been keeping a pretty low profile in recent months.

In fact over the summer, Jessa disappeared from social media for so long fans that fans began to worry she'd decided to step away from the spotlight for good.

Jessa Duggar is a mother of three young children.

On Tuesday night's episode of Counting On, however, the reality star's storyline centered around one child in particular:

In all the commotion about the oncoming slew of Duggar babies, it's easy to forget about the whole pile of little tykes they've already racked up.

Not to be left out of the spotlight, Jessa Duggar has been slowly introducing the world to her newest little girl, Ivy Jane Seewald.

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.

Now, it's not every day that you see the words "Duggar" and "slutty" in the same sentence.

Which is probably why so many reality TV junkies were shook by a tweet describing Bachelor In Paradise star Caelynn Miller-Keyes as "the lost, slutty Duggar sister."

It's been over two months now since Jessa Duggar gave birth to her third child and her first daughter, precious little Ivy.

It really doesn't seem like it's been that long, right?

Earlier this week, a judge ruled that a Christian rapper's copyright infringement case against Katy Perry could proceed to the trial stage.

The rapper -- who goes by the stage name Flame -- claims that Perry's 2013 hit "Dark Horse" is a ripoff of his song "Joyful Noise."

It would be a massive understatement to say that the Duggars are not your typical American family.

The reason reality TV came calling, and the reason that the family has been a fixture on TLC for over a decade is that the Duggars are different enough to be interesting, while still remaining relatable to families who share their ultra-conservative worldview.

They grow up so fast. 

While it feels like only yesterday that Jessa Duggar's son Spurgeon was born, fans are quickly realizing that is not the case after Jana Duggar recently shared the cutest photo of her nephew to Instagram. 

It's been four years since the world learned that Josh Duggar molested five young girls while he was still in his teens.

The revelation of the crime -- along with the fact that four of Josh's victims were his sisters -- sparked widespread outrage and calls for TLC to cut ties with the family.
