Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth welcomed their second child, Evelyn Mae, on August 21, and they are now adjusting to having two little ones to care for. TLC posted a new video on Friday in which the Counting On stars gave an update on how things are going and officially introduced their new bundle of joy to fans.
Standing in the living room of their house in Arkansas, Joy-Anna held Evelyn in her arms with her husband right beside her. She stated that they are settling right in, but did reveal that the new Duggar granddaughter has her days and nights a bit mixed up.
They also said that their 2-year-old son Gideon wasn’t exactly happy that another little human was getting some of his mother’s attention. Joy-Anna confessed that he got quite envious and that the first couple of nights were pretty rough for the family of four. The adjustment was especially hard on the new big brother. The mom of two explained in the video how Gideon reacted when his sister was brought home.
“He was pretty jealous, woke up in the middle of the night screaming and saying, ‘No baby, no thank you baby.’ And was just, pushing her off my lap. But then that next morning he woke up and he was completely fine and has loved her ever since,” she said.
According to Joy-Anna, he is doing better, but he still has his moments.
Joy-Anna and Austin also shared that they had four names picked out, but waited until they spent some time with their second-born before they chose Evelyn, so they could pick the name that really fit her.
In the clip, Evelyn wore a sweet black and white floral outfit with a cute bow on her small head. She fussed a little bit while her parents were filming the short video, but she quieted down after she started sucking on a pacifier.
Joy-Anna had her long hair pulled back into a sleek ponytail. She also wore the necklace with the name of the baby girl that she miscarried last year on it. She appeared to be a bit more rested than she has in her previous photos on Instagram.
About a week ago, she shared a selfie while she was still in her pajamas and holding Evelyn in her arms. Gideon was also in the picture. She revealed then that the little girl had been keeping her up at night and it was starting to catch up to her.
