Grace "Gracie" Annette Duggar is the daughter of John and Abbie Duggar.

## Early Life

### Pregnancy and Birth

On August 1, 2019, John and Abbie Duggar announced that they are expecting their first child. The pregnancy was a surprise, with Abbie learning she was pregnant on a trip to urgent care because she was feeling sick.

On August 19, 2019, John and Abbie posted pictures from their gender reveal party to their Instagram account with the caption "Boy or girl, what’s your guess??". Around the same time, a video about the gender reveal was posted to the TLC website and then quickly deleted. The next day, the couple officially announced that they are officially having a girl by posting a photo of themselves surrounded by pink confetti. At that time the video was returned to the TLC website.

On September 19, 2019, a trailer for season 10 of the show *Counting On* featured a photoshoot for the pregnant Duggar women. This trailer features a clip of Abbie showing up for the trailer and announcing her pregnancy to her sisters-in-law. Based on the attendance of both Mary Duggar and Ivy Seewald at this photoshoot, it took place sometime between May 26 and June 9, meaning that Abbie cannot be due any later than February of 2020.

On October 1, 2019, Abbie shared a photo with a caption saying that she was 25 weeks pregnant. This places her due date between January 7 and 14 of 2020.

On October 31, 2019, Us Weekly shared an interview with John and Abbie where they said the pregnancy was difficult, starting with severe morning sickness and then leading to a diagnosis of hyperemesis gravidarum. Due to this condition, she was hospitalized a couple of times and made several ER visits, and also was often on an IV at home to help prevent dehydration.

At 3:21 am on January 7, 2020, Grace Annette Duggar was born. She weighed 7 lb, 11 oz, and was 20.75 inches long. In a joint statement, her parents said, “Our lives have changed forever with the arrival of our baby girl. She’s is a beautiful gift from God. We are so blessed the Lord has given her to us. It’s still surreal to know that we are really parents but it’s a great new adventure that we are excited to take on together.”

## Resume

### Television Appearances

Before she was even born, Grace was the subject of the show *Counting On* when the episode "Grandma Duggar Remembered" featured her parents announcing their pregnancy. On February 3, 2020, a two-part webisode about her birth was posted. It is likely she will be heavily featured on future episodes of the show.
