While the TLC stars planned to tell Felicity and Evangeline the big news before they announced it to the world, they also held off on sharing it with the girls right away.
“But we [were] waiting because she’s in school and she would tell every single person. That’s just how she is,” the19 Kids and Countingstar added.
They ultimately surprised the girls with the news during a family photo shoot. “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,” Jinger told PEOPLE. “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.”

While the couple knew they wanted a third child, Jeremy admitted he was “speechless” when Jinger told him she was pregnant again.
Jinger told PEOPLE that she surprised her husband with the news on Felicity’s 6th birthday, presenting him with a “gift” from Amazon — that was actually her positivepregnancy test.
“Yes, it was something we were expecting," Jeremy recalled, “but I was still shocked.”
When asked how she is currently spending her time, Jinger said she is just trying to “cherish” every moment with Felicity and Evangeline before their new addition arrives.
