Jinger Duggar Shares the Relatable Reason She Waited to Share Pregnancy News With Her Daughters

Jinger Duggar recently announced that she has another baby on the way, but she had to keep the news under wraps at first.

According to the former reality star, who already shares two daughters with husband Jeremy Vuolo, she waited to share the pregnancy news with her girls for one very understandable reason.

"Part of that is because we have a 6-year-old who is a total extra extrovert and will be walking by a stranger and tell them the news,” Jinger told PEOPLE in a new interview published on Saturday, Nov. 9. She and Vuolo are parents to daughter Felicity, 6, and Evangeline, 3.

"And so we thought, you know what? We're going to tell the girls pretty soon, but we're going to wait until closer to the time that we announced to tell them," added Jinger, who officially announced her pregnancy via Instagram last month.

But it appeared to be worth the wait for their two girls once they did learn the news, especially Felicity, who they said "started jumping up and down in excitement" about having another little sibling.

While their younger daughter "wasn't quite sure what to make of the news," Jinger, 30, said she's confident that Evangeline "will be all about her new role as big sis" once the new bundle of joy arrives.

Explaining how she finally told her daughters, Jinger said, "We planned to get family pictures to announce the pregnancy and thought that would be the best time to let our girls know about their new sibling on the way."

"We got Felicity and Evangeline each a denim jacket with the words, 'BIG SIS' on the back. The photographer captured the sweet moment when they realized what those words meant."

The soon-to-be mom of three, who comes from the larger-than-life Duggar family that starred on TLC's 19 Kids & Counting, later shared the photos on Instagram after announcing her pregnancy publicly, writing in her caption, "Grateful for the life of our little baby ☺️ Felicity & Evy Jo could not be more excited 🥹."
