Jinger Duggar, renowned for her ties to the reality TV show "Counting On," has just welcomed her third child—her first son—with husband Jeremy Vuolo. The little one arrived at 5:37 a.m. on Saturday morning, delightfully named Finnegan Charles.

In a heartfelt YouTube video shared the following day, Jinger expressed her joy, stating, "Baby’s doing great. I’m feeling exhausted, but otherwise it was a pretty fairly great delivery." Jeremy chimed in with the proud news that their new arrival weighed a healthy 8 pounds and 1 ounce. Finnegan joins his two big sisters, Felicity, 6, and Evangeline, 4, in what has become a bustling household.

The couple’s journey to welcoming their son began with a big announcement in October 2024, when Jinger revealed her pregnancy through an excited Instagram video showcasing her reaction to a positive test. "A family of five," she captioned, encapsulating her excitement for the new addition.

Two months into the pregnancy, the couple shared the joyous news of expecting a boy in a YouTube video, where Jinger opened a box containing adorable boy's attire. "It’s a boy," she exclaimed, capturing the moment with her husband who was left "speechless."

Jinger and Jeremy, who have been married since November 2016 after a whirlwind courtship that began just months prior, currently reside in California, marking a significant transition from the large Duggar family roots in Arkansas.

Notably, Jinger has been on a path of personal growth and reevaluation of her beliefs. In her memoir, *Becoming Free Indeed*, released in 2023, she shared her struggles within her family's religious framework, describing it as "cult-like." She revealed how her upbringing left her feeling "crippled with anxiety" and "terrified of the outside world."

Moreover, her latest book, *People Pleaser*, which debuted last month, dives into her struggles with identity after years of marriage. Jinger candidly discusses how she initially aimed to be the "perfect wife" but with Jeremy's support, she learned to embrace her true self. "He really helped me to grow in that area," she told People. "That gave me so much freedom to be able to open up and be vulnerable and then to be able to build genuine relationships."

As the Vuolo family embarks on this new adventure with Finnegan, fans can't wait to see how their journey unfolds in the future. Will this new addition change the dynamics of their family? Stay tuned for more updates on Jinger and Jeremy's growing family!
