Jessa on 'Say Yes to the Dress'

Jessa Seewald will soon make a debut on another one of TLC's reality shows. She will be featured on Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta, which premieres Saturday, March 21, at 8pm ET. In preparation for her wedding, Ben Seewald's sister Jessica invited Jessa and others to the bridal salon to help her choose her wedding gown, and the session was filmed for the show.

7-Week-Old Gracie

Yesterday evening, John and Abbie Duggar headed out to the movie theater to watch the film Free Burma Rangers. Aunt Jana was happy to watch seven-week-old Gracie. We think the little peanut strongly resembles her mama, but with some of John's features mixed in. What do you think?

Duggar 'Marathon'

Duggar family camp out

It has been quite a while since TLC has shown reruns of Counting On. Starting tomorrow (Wednesday, February 26) the network will be showing past episodes during the 4am-6am EST slot for one week, not including Sunday. Unless you're an early morning riser, that's probably not the most convenient time, but those with recording capabilities can watch them later.

There is still no word on when new episodes of Counting On will premiere, but we will let you know as soon as we hear something. The full TV schedule can be found on our Showtimes page.

A Grand-Duggar Registers for School

Big news from the Dillard family. Jill and Derick just registered Israel, who turns five in April, for kindergarten! Although they have been homeschooling, the parents of two decided to put their oldest in public school, at least for his first year. Israel will be in the same school district that Daddy was in as a child.

Fishing with Anna and the Kids

When some beautiful weather rolled into Northwest Arkansas yesterday, Anna Duggar decided to take her kids fishing at a pond. While they didn't catch anything, it looks like they enjoyed the outing immensely. All six of them are even ages right now.

Vuolos on Valentine's

It has been quite some time since we have posted a new photo of Felicity. At almost 19 months, she is an active little girl who loves to explore her surroundings. Last season of Counting On ended before Felicity's first birthday, and we know you are hoping that the show will return soon so you can watch all the newest footage. No news on a premiere date, but we will keep you posted.

Gracie's Birth Special

Grace Annette Duggar

TLC just uploaded Grace Duggar's birth special to the network website. The links and our brief recap are below.

John and Abbie's Baby Part 1
John and Abbie's Baby Part 2

Recap
Before Gracie arrives, John-David films a video for his wife and daughter. He shares the story of how he and Abbie met and interviews other family members, as well.

"There's a lot of excitement, a lot of anxiousness, a lot of change," says Abbie, as she prepares to meet the new addition.

At around 4pm, Abbie begins having contractions. Michelle arrives and accompanies the couple to the hospital around 3am. Abbie is sent home to rest after being told that her labor has stalled. The following morning, John and Abbie visit the doctor for a check-up.

Abbie labors at home for a little longer, with support from her parents (Cheryl and John), John, and Michelle. After another appointment with the doctor, Abbie is 3cm dilated and admitted to the "low intervention room" at the hospital. Jana, Johannah, Jennifer, Jordyn, Josie, and Mackynzie arrive with snacks requested by the parents-to-be. Jim Bob also comes to the hospital.

After 30 hours of labor, Abbie receives Pitocin to speed things up and gets an epidural. Grace Annette Duggar arrives about six hours later. The special shows photos but does not show footage of the birth.

When the family of three returns home, the Duggars pile into their 660-square-foot house to meet Gracie.
