Jessa Duggar shares adorable new Instagram photos of daughters Ivy, 2, & Fern, 3 months, in matching outfits
JESSA Duggar shared adorable new Instagram photos of her two daughters Ivy and Fern wearing “matching sister dresses.”
The Counting On alum gave birth to her youngest daughter Fern in July.
Jessa proved that the sister bond is stronger than ever in her latest post on Instagram of the two girls.
The 29-year-old captured a pic of her two-year-old daughter Ivy embracing her little sister from behind as the pair wore similar outfits.
In one snap, Ivy has her eyes closed as she wrapped her arms around the three-month-old in a tight hug.
In the second shot, both girls are wide-eyed and smiling at the camera while perched up on the couch.
The toddler was dressed in a green plaid long-sleeve top, leggings, and a crème-colored beanie, while the newborn donned the same colored shirt with ruffled sleeves.
Fern also sported white leggings with a crème-colored headband to match her older sister.

Jessa captioned the post: “Matching sister dresses call for a pic! ”
The former reality star is also mom to two sons: Surgeon, five, and Henry, four, with her husband Ben Seewald.
Following the birth of her youngest child, Jessa shared a sweet closeup of the then two-week-old sleeping.
Jessa put a sweet white bow in Fern’s hair and wrapped her in a pink blanket in the adorable shot.
She captioned it: “Baby Fern is 2 weeks old!”
Her older sister Jill commented: “Aww!! Can’t wait to meet her!”
HOSPITAL BIRTH
The mother-of-four’s birthing experience was different than with her older children after opting for a hospital birth rather than a home birth.
Giving birth in a hospital was a controversial choice as all the Duggar mothers typically welcome their children at home unless there are medical complications.
Soon after the birth, Jessa also revealed she had an epidural and raved about the benefits of the process.
She said the pain-relieving procedure was “so worth it” – despite her parents Jim Bob and Michelle‘s strict beliefs against modern medicine.
“Even though I didn’t get my epidural till the very last hour before she was delivered, I feel like it was still so worth it, ” she said in a YouTube video.
“Not only did it help with my pushing phase, it took the pain out of it. What I was really excited about was not being able to feel the after-birth cramps.”
“Because those things are awful and they get worse with each kid. So I was really excited not to be able to feel that and just be able to enjoy holding my baby.”
The TLC star added: “And then all that massaging that the nurses do on your uterus – didn’t feel it. It was nice!
“So the epidural definitely worked. Was so thankful.”
Jessa and Ben revealed in February that they were expecting, after having a “heartbreaking” miscarriage in 2020.
LOVE STORY
Fans were reminded of how the couple’s love story began in a resurfaced clip of when Ben, 26, asked her parents for permission to make their courtship official.
The pair documented their relationship during their former TLC series 19 Kids and Counting.
“We’ve been praying and talking for awhile. I was just wondering if you wanted to make it official and if you wanted to officially court me?” Ben shyly asked.
Jessa responded with a smile on her face, “yes” before her mother embraced her in side hug.
The camera then captures her father’s happy reaction as he’s sitting off to the side filming the entire encounter.
Jessa and Ben have been married since November of 2014.
