Duggar News fans are thrilled after TLC star Jessa Duggar shared a series of adorable photos of her youngest son, Edward Owen, who was born this past July. In the main Instagram picture, Jessa wore an orange-and-black striped shirt while sitting on a couch, holding her newborn close. Edward, only a few weeks old, looked sweet in a black long-sleeved onesie, his chubby cheeks stealing the spotlight. Other snapshots showed him in a green onesie, wrapped in a cozy blanket while nestled in his mother’s arms. The photos quickly spread warmth and happiness, capturing the special bond between mother and child and the joy Edward has already brought to the family.
At 32, Jessa is now a proud mother of six. She has been candid about her parenting journey and even revealed Edward’s funny nickname. In her post, Jessa lovingly called him “15 lbs of cuteness” and jokingly dubbed him “Your Royal Fatness.” She described Edward as the happiest, smiliest baby, adding that the family can hardly remember what life was like before he arrived. Fans melted instantly, flooding the comments with love, emojis, and congratulatory messages.
Jessa and her husband, Ben Seewald, are no strangers to parenting. Their first son, Spurgeon, was born in 2015, followed by Henry in 2017 and their daughter Ivy in 2019. After experiencing a heartbreaking pregnancy loss in 2020, they welcomed daughter Fern in 2021. Now, Edward is their sixth child, adding even more joy to their growing family.
In her YouTube birth vlog, Jessa shared how her mother, Michelle Duggar, stood faithfully by her side throughout Edward’s delivery. Michelle not only supported her in the birthing room but also helped care for the newborn at home afterward, giving Jessa time to rest and recover. Jessa praised her mother’s devotion, saying: “My mom is absolutely wonderful. She was there with me every step of the way, helping me, supporting me, coaching me.”
Another special highlight of Edward’s birth was the role of Jessa’s 16-year-old sister, Jordyn-Grace. She had the honor of cutting Edward’s umbilical cord—a first-time experience that left her excited and proud. Jessa described it as a “sweet moment,” cherishing the memory of her younger sister’s involvement in such an intimate family milestone.
Jessa also emphasized how crucial it is to have family close by during the exhausting early hours of postpartum life. With Michelle’s constant presence and the family’s support, she could actually rest and gain strength. For Jessa, Edward’s arrival represents more than just the joy of welcoming a new baby—it’s also a reminder of how love, family bonds, and shared experiences can make the journey even more meaningful.
