Jessa responded in the comments section with a happy face emoji with two heart-shaped eyes.

Michelle was on hand during the labor and thanked the nurses when they offered for her to cut the umbilical cord.

Fern's grandmother said: "I would love to."

'THE TENTH GRANDDAUGHTER'

Recently, in a lengthy YouTube video, the Counting On alum shared the experience of how she officially welcomed her fourth child.

Jessa and her husband, Ben Seewald, share sons Spurgeon, five, and Henry, four, and 1-year-old daughter, Ivy.

On Tuesday, July 13th, the ex reality star was experiencing "a lot of contractions" and had gone to visit her doctor.

Then on Saturday, July 18th, Jessa had "been having contractions every 10 minutes for the past few hours." 

She said: "I'd say they're about a seven or an eight. It feels like the real deal to me." 

Finally, on July 19th, Jessa and Ben ended up walking into the medical facility on her scheduled due date.

'THE REAL DEAL'

Jessa wore a loose black dress while Ben carried several bags with him as he walked by her side.

The couple teased that Fern's birth was just one part of the video series and promised to share more footage "soon."

Back in February, Jessa and Ben revealed that they were expecting while remembering their "heartbreaking" miscarriage back in 2020.

The TLC stars told ET in a statement: ”After the heartbreaking loss of a baby last year, we’re overjoyed to share that another little Seewald is on the way!"
