The Duggar family just keeps growing!
Former "19 Kids and Counting" star Amy Duggar King has welcomed her first child – a boy – with her husband Dillon King.
The couple confirmed the news to "People" magazine and then shared a photo to Instagram.
"He's absolute perfection!!!" the new mom wrote alongside a photo of the new family of three in a hospital room with a blanket over them reading "God gave us you."
They named the bundle of joy Daxton Ryan King, "People" reports, and he was born Wednesday weighing 7 pounds, 8 ounces.
Amy Duggar is a cousin of the 19 children born to Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, the family that the show "19 Kids and Counting" followed. Her mother is Jim Bob's sister Deanna.
Jill Duggar Dillard and Anna Duggar both wrote congratulatory messages on the post.
"Congratulations!!! Such a beautiful family!" Anna Duggar wrote.
The reality TV star posted to Instagram yesterday sharing that the couple were headed to the hospital for a planned cesarean section.
Amy wrote that because of her "small frame" and the fact that the doctor said there's an 85% chance she would have an "emergency situation," they scheduled the C-section to be on the "safe side."
She added: "I'm sure there will be negative comments. But I have to do what's right for my body and what's healthy for my son."
The couple announced on Easter that they were expecting.
"BABY KING IS ON THE WAY!!! Happy Easter from our growing family to yours!!" Amy wrote.
