“Counting On” couple Josiah and Lauren Duggar gave birth to a baby girl after suffering a miscarriage less than year ago.
Bella Milagro Duggar was born Nov. 8 weighing 6 pounds, 5 ounces, and was 18½ inches long.
She made her way into the world in her own time.
“After a long and difficult labor, our girl arrived,” the couple wrote in a statement to USA TODAY. “When we finally got to see and hold our precious Bella Milagro all the pain instantly went away. We can’t believe she is ours — she is so perfect!”

The couple announced they were expecting in May, just a few months after they revealed they had miscarried.
“At first, we kind of wanted to just stay quiet about the news, but knew that since everyone is anticipating for us to announce that were having a baby, we felt like it was time that we told everyone that our first and only baby is in heaven,” the couple wrote in a February Instagram message about the miscarriage.
Their daughter, they said Tuesday, was named perfectly.
“She definitely has lived up to her name which means, ‘beautiful miracle,’ they wrote. “Today we are basking in God’s goodness!”
