Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Gideon, back in February.
But since reality television takes time, we're just now seeing all the good baby stuff on Counting On.
When Joy-Anna Duggar married Austin Forsyth back in May of 2017, it initially looked as though she had found herself the ideal Duggar husband.
Austin is an Arkansas native, raised in the same Christian fundamentalist community that produced the Duggar clan.
All good things must come to an end, as the old saying goes. In other news, all reality TV shows eventually run their course.
Whether you love, hate or love to hate them, it's been over a decade on TLC for the Duggars, a mightily impressive streak.
In the last decade, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's children have undoubtedly made something of a career out of reality TV stardom.
But at what cost? Their entire identities.
It's been five months since Joy-Anna Duggar welcomed her first child.
At the time, it was reported that the birth did not go according to plan, and Joy-Anna was rushed to a nearby hospital, despite her intention to deliver the baby at home.
The countdown to a new season of Counting On is... well... on.
When this TLC favorite returns with new episodes on July 30, fans will go behind the scenes of Joy-Anna Duggar's first-ever birth.
The narrative regarding Jinger Duggar's decision to wear pants in defiance of her family's dress code usually goes something like this:
Jinger married Jeremy Vuolo, and like a wizard granting freedom to a house elf, he gave her the gift of liberty in the form of an article of clothing.
Folks, a full-on Duggar baby boom is in effect.
In case you've been having trouble keeping up with all the births, pregnancies, and rumored pregnancies, here's a brief rundown.
These days, much attention is paid to the "rebel Duggars" - those offspring of Jim Bob and Michelle who have rejected some of the more asinine rules that characterized their ultra-strict upbringings.
But there's a contingent of the family's loyal basis that's far more interested in the stories of Duggars like Joy-Anna, who have eagerly adhered to just about every single aspect of the fundamentalist belief system with which they were raised.
