"It seems like just yesterday we were at the altar dreaming of a future together, including having children," the Counting On couple said. "Wow, here we are with another new addition and we couldn't be more thankful for her. It seems the entire family is already in love with Brooklyn Praise. Children really are an inheritance from the Lord and we are so honored to be her parents! Thank you for all the prayers and well wishes."

Joseph said they found their daughter's name while reading baby books together during Kendra's pregnancy.
"We were looking through name books and pretty much, this one really stood out to us," he said of the name Brooklyn.
