In the nearly eleven-minute video, Michelle, 57, remained by her daughter’s side as Jessa lay on the hospital bed.
The Counting On alum tightened her face as she screamed and cried.
The Duggar matriarch held onto Jessa’s hand and cared for her as the newborn baby burst out crying.
Michelle covered her eyes with glasses and wore a black puffy jacket.
She showed off her curly brunette hair while carrying Jessa’s fifth child in her hands.
As her husband Ben Seewald, 28, kissed his wife’s forehead, Jessa weakly asked: “Do we have a boy or a girl?”
Michelle replied: “A boy!”
‘WE DECIDE ON A NAME’
On Sunday, the mom of five took to Instagram and shared the moniker of her newborn.
Jessa captioned her post: “Birth Story: Part 2 is now live on our YouTube channel!
“Kids meet [the] baby and find out [the] gender.”
She closed: “We decide on a name and being [sic] baby home!”
During the nearly 10-minute video, the couple gathered their four children: Spurgeon, seven; Henry, six; Ivy, three; and Fern, one.
She pointed the camera at her sleeping baby, George Augustine Seewald.
During her voiceover, the mom of five said: “We decided to settle on a name. And so, George Augustine, it is.
“I think it suits him well.”
As the short video continued, Ben had a conversation with his mother, Guinn Seewald, and mentioned: “We were thinking about naming him George.”
Guinn approved of the moniker because it reminded her of the legend of Saint George — a soldier who defeated the dragon that had been extorting tribute from the villagers.
‘BABY IS HERE’
On Saturday, the 31-year-old star took to Instagram and announced the arrival of her baby boy, George.
Jessa cheered: “Baby is here, and we couldn’t be more grateful.”
She also added a link to her YouTube account.
The arrival of Jessa’s fifth child came after a bittersweet moment.
George was born almost exactly one year after his parents suffered a miscarriage.
The miscarriage occurred a few days before Christmas 2022.
‘RAINBOW BABY’
In September, Jessa and Ben released a YouTube video announcing her pregnancy.
She said: “After a heartbreaking loss of our baby last year, just this past week we found out some wonderful news.”
The TV star then panned the camera and showed off her positive pregnancy test.
Jessa continued: “Our rainbow baby is on the way, and we could not be more excited.”
The footage cut to April when Jessa and Ben took time away from their kids and headed for their romantic getaway.
