OK! reported on Tuesday, November 16, Anna posted a snapshot of the newborn to her Instagram account to announce the arrival of the pair’s seventh child. Anna, 33 — who is already mom to Mackynzie, 12, Michael, 10, Marcus, 8, Meredith, 6, Mason, 4 and Maryella, 1 — also revealed the baby's name.

Josh is facing facing years behind bars after he was indicted on federal child pornography charges earlier this year. In April, the 33-year-old pleaded not guilty to charges of receiving and possessing child porn. He was released from jail a week after his arrest.
Ahead of his trial, the disgraced reality star was handed a victory. Prosecutors have been fighting to have the 19 Kids and Counting alums past offenses, including alleged child molestation, introduced into evidence.
OK! learned a judge ruled in favor of Josh after he requested his previous admission he was addicted to porn not be allowed to be used against him in court.
In 2015, Duggar released a statement saying, “I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the years been viewing pornography on the internet and this has become an addiction.”
Prosecutors had intended to use his shocking admission during trial to prove “his motive, intent, knowledge, or plan to commit the crimes charged.”
If convicted, Josh faces up to 40 years in prison and up to $500,000 in fines. His trial is set to begin on November 30.
