Jinger Duggar Vuolo is continuing the count.
Indeed, the sixth of Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar’s 19 kids announced she is expecting her third baby with husband Jeremy Vuolo. The couple, who are also parents to Felicity, 6, and Evangeline, 3, will welcome their little one in March 2025.
“We’re super excited,” Jinger told People in an article published Oct. 15. “I'm actually all about it. Especially in the heat the past few days, I think I'm not super big pregnant and so I'm not having to worry about the extra heat. I'm like, ‘Oh man, this is going to be such an awesome thing to go through pregnancy, not in the summer.’”
Jeremy, meanwhile, explained that while the couple had plans to expand their family, the news still “shocked” him when Jinger first revealed it in July.
“When she told me, I was literally speechless,” he gushed. “She got me good. It was on Felicity's birthday. Jinger says, ‘I've got a gift for you.’ It was in an Amazon bag. So I'm thinking, ‘What did she get from Amazon for me?’ Then I open it up and it's the positive result, and I'm actually speechless.”
And the couple—who wed in 2016—also made telling their two daughters the news an event in itself. They used a family photoshoot to surprise Felicity and Evangeline with denim jackets that read ‘BIG SIS,’ on the back and photos from an ultrasound.
“Felicity started jumping up and down in excitement over the news,” Jinger recounted. “Evangeline wasn't quite sure what to make of the news. But we are certain that once the baby arrives, she will be all about her new role as big sis.”
As for whether Jinger, 30, and Jeremy, 37, plan to expand their brood any further? Don’t count on it.
“Three was kind of what we had always said was a really good number," she explained. “Three or four. I don't know. But I think three is what I'm leaning towards right now.”
But without looking too far ahead, the expecting parents are simply looking forward to being a family of five—noting they’ll be thrilled with whatever their new baby’s sex will be.
“If it was another little girl, being a girl dad has been incredible,” Jeremy—who admitted the couple is “curious” about being parents to a boy—said, with Jinger adding, “We’re happy either way!”
