We know your baby was born early and we hope everything is OK!

Congrats, Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar! You welcomed your 19th (can you believe it?) child via C-section the night of Dec. 10 in Arkansas.

Even though daughter, Josie Brooklyn, weighed in at only 1 lb., 6 oz. and was born way too early (she was expected to arrive this spring!), we’re so glad to hear the baby is in stable condition at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.

And how is the super mom — and star of  TLC’s 18 Kids and Counting (now 19 Kids and Counting) doing? “The most important thing right now is for mom and baby Josie to get as much rest as possible,” a rep for the network told People.

Michelle isn’t just recovering from the delivery, but she’s also healing after undergoing treatment for a gallstone earlier this month, which reportedly caused her to have early contractions.

Michelle, our best wishes go out to you and your family!
