Jessa Duggar and her husband Ben Seewald have welcomed their fourth child after the reality star gave birth to a baby girl, Fern Elliana.

Yep, the Seewald family is now a part of six and the delighted couple shared the happy news with fans on social media on Tuesday.

Taking to Instagram, the former 19 Kids and Counting star shared a snap of herself cradling her newborn daughter in the hospital.

‘Labor & delivery, and announcing to the kids baby’s gender and name! Birth Story Part 2 is now live!’ she captioned the image.

Fans then flocked to the 28-year-old’s YouTube page where they were able to learn more about Fern’s first hours in the world.

In the first video, Jessa could also be seen asking her other children for baby name suggestions before she noted that she and Ben, 26, took five days to decide on names for two of their other kids.

The reality star shares sons Spurgeon, five, and Henry, four, and two-year-old daughter Ivy with husband Ben.

The day after Fern’s birth, Jessa and Ben FaceTimed their kids to show them their new baby sister and reveal her name to them.

At one point, Ivy kissed the camera to show Fern some love as she revealed her excitement about being a big sister.

The couple announced in February that they were expecting their fourth child, while also telling fans that Duggar had previously suffered a pregnancy loss.
