AceShowbiz - Joy-Anna Duggar has welcomed a new addition to her family. Having given birth to her third child with husband Austin Forsyth, the former "19 Kids and Counting" star took to social media to announce the baby's arrival.
Making use of Instagram on Friday, May 19, the former TLC personality shared a photo of her cradling her new bundle of joy in a hospital bed. Her husband, meanwhile, stood behind her.
Joy-Anna captioned the sweet snap by writing, "He's here!" She then gushed, "Thank you all for praying… Mama and baby are recovering well."
Joy-Anna confirmed her pregnancy back in October 2022. At that time, she shared on Instagram a photo of her and her spouse in which she held a sonogram. She also added a family portrait with their daughter Evelyn and son Gideon.
"Baby #3 is on the way!" Joy-Anna penned in the accompanying message. She also let her fans know that she shared more details about the pregnancy in a video posted on YouTube.
In the clip, the reality star said, "We have been trying, and we're both ready to have number three." Her spouse then chimed in, "Or baby number three and four." She then added, "Wouldn't that be cool?"
"We're at a really good spot now," the then-expectant mom continued. "We love our family, and we're ready to expand, so, we're really, really hoping that we get pregnant. It'd be crazy if it was twins. It would be fun."
Joy-Anna previously suffered a miscarriage at 20 weeks. In an Instagram post she uploaded in July 2019, she wrote, "Today marks one week since we heard these words. So this is your baby's heart (pointing to the ultrasound screen). I don't hear a heartbeat or see any movement. We had gone in for our 20-week ultrasound and gender reveal. It was a baby girl."
