Jessa Duggar Seewald dropped a video this morning announcing the gender of her newborn, Baby #6, born on July 26, 2025. Watch here to find out! I have to hand it to Jessa, she really knows how to milk this blessed event for views! The announcement of her labor, birth, gender, and then name are drawn out into four different videos. In today’s video we find out the gender, but not the name and have to wait for Part 4 to be released!

Here are a few screenshots from the video. Above, Jessa’s other children enter Jessa’s hospital room and Grandma Seewald is holding the baby. Big brother Henry asks the gender. Grandma S tells says that Mom and Dad will tell them.

Above, Grandpa Jim Bob Duggar asks the older siblings what they each think the gender is. They got to come see the new baby after going to church. In the previous video, announcing the birth, Jessa explained that it’s their tradition for her husband and her to find out the gender before birth and not tell anyone. Then they let their children come to the hospital to see the new baby and find out the gender, and then the siblings get to tell the rest of the super-sized Duggar family.

Here are all the siblings, with Aunt Josie Duggar, running to the hospital room to meet the new baby and find out the gender. I love the joy of anticipation on big sister Ivy Jane’s face. So sweet :-)!

Contrast Ivy’s face with two-year-old big brother George’s above, LOL. He is ready for a nap and only thinking about that!

Ivy’s caressing of the baby’s face is so motherly and precious!

Here’s big sister Fern holding the baby. She says they should name the baby “Rainbow Print” and then Ivy suggests “Bunny.” So funny! Ben and Jessa say that they haven’t decided the name yet. I relate. With one of my babies, actually it was also Baby #6 for me, DH and I didn’t come up with a name until six weeks had passed!

I just have to say, I called the gender!!! See my previous post here. Way back in Jessa’s video of packing her hospital bag, when she showed the baby’s clothes, I decided it was a boy. Supposedly they were gender-neutral clothes (green, beige, and brown) but I just felt by seeing the clothes she picked out that she was anticipating a boy. Then when I saw him in the birth video he definitely gave boy vibes. Now I’m guessing at the name. I actually had predicted Edward before I watched the video. Just because the Seewalds already have a Henry and a George. Edward fits with those. So does Charles but the baby has a Duggar cousin named Charles already, the son of John-David and Abbie Duggar. All of the Seewalkd boys are named after theologians: Spurgeon, Henry, and George, so far.

I think the name will be one of these five, based on what Ben says in the video:

Edward Calvin

Edward Jonathan

Owen Calvin

Jonathan Calvin

Calvin Jonathan

Congratulations Ben and Jessa!! I miss those baby-bearing days! (Today’s actually the birthday of my Baby #5, who is 21 today.) There’s nothing like giving birth to feel heaven come to earth and feel the power of God. It’s just such an amazing experience!
