Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo just revealed some big news. Not only is Jinger preparing to release a new book, but she and Jeremy are also preparing to welcome another little one. That's right, Baby #3 is on the way! In her latest YouTube video (link below), Jinger shares how she told Jeremy, Jeremy's parents, and her family. She found out on Felicity's sixth birthday and told Jeremy right away. Then a short while later, her mom and sisters were in Los Angeles for Jana's bachelorette party, so she spilled the beans to them when most of the ladies were getting into a hot tub. Felicity Vuolo turned six in July, and Evangeline Vuolo will turn four in November.
