Jinger Duggar Vuolo Welcomes a Baby Boy
Jinger and Jeremy welcomed the third child, a baby boy they named Finnegan Charles, on March 29th. They announced his arrival the following day on social media, telling their fans that they were “overwhelmed with joy.”
Jinger said that Finn was a “good size little baby,” weighing in at eight pounds and one ounce, and a length of 21 inches. The new family of five also shared a video that featured “one of the most special moments” of Finn’s birth when their daughters Felicity Nicole, 6, and Evangeline Jo, 4, met their little brother for the first time.
“It was amazing,” Jinger recalled. “I was not sure how they were going to handle it. I thought Felicity was going to be so excited and in big sister mode, but then Evy Jo … I wasn’t sure if she quite understood that this was her baby brother, but she did. And she was amazing.”
Michelle Duggar Has Attended Nearly Every Grandchild’s Birth
On an episode of “The Jinger & Jeremy Podcast,” the couple talked about the comforting presence of Michelle Duggar during their son’s birth. Jeremy noted that he dropped off his wife and mother-in-law at the hospital and then had to find a place to park. Then, Jinger revealed that her mom has been present for the birth of almost all of her grandchildren.
“I think that she’s only missed two, but each of ours she’s been there,” Jinger said. “Finn is grandbaby number 37 for my parents, and that is insane to think about.”
The couple also shared that Michelle not only traveled from Arkansas to California for the delivery, but stayed for over two weeks to help with the transition.
“She came a week before, she stayed a week and a half after, and she’s fully committed,” Jeremy said. “She comes and serves.”
Jinger Duggar Says Having Her Mom Present Was ‘Comforting’
Jinger and Jeremy had nothing but praise for Michelle, with the former pro soccer player pointing out how wonderful it is to have his mother-in-law’s help when a new baby arrives.
He says that Michelle takes “everything off of your plate every morning,” and is up before anyone else so the parents could rest.
“It’s really sweet. I’m getting emotional,” Jeremy said.
Jinger admitted that she would have been “way more stressed out” if her mom wasn’t there for Finn’s birth.
“There’s something so comforting about having my mom next to me through this season,” she explained. “And she has such a way of keeping me calm and reminding me that this is a normal process of life that God has created. Even without saying it, it’s just in her demeanor. She’s so calm, so chill, so prayerful and considerate.”
