The happy news follows the July birth of Frederick Michael "Freddy" Dillard, Jeremiah's sister Jill Duggar Dillard's third son with husband, Derrick Dillard.
This past year, the Duggars have been mired in family drama involving oldest brother Josh, who was sentenced to 12 years in prison in May on a federal child pornography conviction. While the Dillards expressed in a family blog post on May 26 that recent times had been "difficult emotionally" for the family and said they believed the sentencing was proof "God has carried out his vengeance today for [Josh's] unspeakable criminal activity," Jeremiah and Hannah are among the many Duggars who have remained publicly silent on Josh's legal situation.
