"He was born 7/7/2022 at 5:16pm weighing 7lbs. 6oz. and is 20 inches long."
She also explained the significance of her newborn's name: "Frederick means 'Peaceful Ruler' and Michael means 'Gift from God.'
"The name Frederick also holds special meaning for us since it’s Derick’s name with “Fre” added to the front, to make “Fre-derick.”
Similarly, Derick’s name is a variation of his late dad’s name, Rick, that his parents created by adding “de” to the front of Rick to spell, “de”-“rick,” literally meaning son “of” (de) Rick. We were excited to settle on the name Frederick and incorporate both Derick’s and his dad’s name, by just adding “Fre” to the beginning of Derick’s name.
"Frederick was set to arrive later in July, but he decided he wanted to come a little early (the day before big brother Samuel’s birthday!), so we had our planned C-section a bit before originally planned," she explained.
RULE BREAKER
The video comes as Jill continues to rebel against her strict family.
The Duggar children were homeschooled and grew up with strict access to entertainment and television.
Social media, including Instagram, would typically be off-limits.
Jill has also previously defied the rules by baring her legs in mini shorts.
While wearing black shorts, the star- who recently moved into her new Arkansas home- showed off her bare longs and teased a bit of her baby bump at the time.
The Duggar family has observed a strict dress code that only permits women to dress modestly and wear skirts or dresses.
Parents Jim Bob, 56, and Michelle, 55, have mostly stuck to their conservative rules for their Christian lifestyle.
Jill and Derick decided to have the baby via c-section, instead of at home, which is also one of the stringent rules set in the Duggar household.
One fan on a social media thread posted: " I don’t think Jill got the grows-babies-easily gene. The emergency c-section with Samuel is literally part of the reason why things went back with JB&M…"
