Jinger Duggar Vuolo and her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, announced this week they are expecting their third child together. The Vuolos already have two daughters: Felicity, 6, and Evangeline, 3. Jeremy said that he was shocked when his wife told him the news.
“When she told me, I was literally speechless,” Jeremy said to People magazine on Oct. 15. “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.”
Jinger is in her second trimester and says she’s thankful not to be pregnant during the summer. ”We’re super excited,” she said, adding, “I’m like, ‘Oh man, this is going to be such an awesome thing to go through pregnancy, not in the summer.'”
Jinger Duggar Vuolo Asks for Prayers
Jeremy, 37, and Jinger, 30, wed in 2016. In addition to announcing their news in an exclusive to People, the Vuolos posted several updates on their social media, including discussing it on the latest episode of their podcast.
Jinger even posted a video with footage she filmed right after discovering she was pregnant and in which she explained how she planned to surprise Jeremy with the gift at their daughter Felicity’s birthday party. Her video later showed his reaction when he realized he was looking at a positive pregnancy test result.
Jinger explained to her followers that the Vuolos told their daughters the exciting news while taking family pictures. They gave each little girl a jean jacket that said “Big Sis” on the back and helped them understand what the words mean.
The wife and mom asked followers for prayers for her pregnancy, namely “just that everything would go smoothly with the baby and that we would all remain healthy.” Jinger also told people to be on the lookout for a gender reveal.
