In a joint statement to Us Weekly, Josiah and Lauren revealed that the first time mom who chose a hospital rather than home birth, had a long and difficult labor, but she forgot the pain after she saw Bella. The "Counting On" stars said,

"We can't believe she's ours. She definitely has lived up to her name, which means beautiful miracle."

The birth of Bella is coming a little over a year after the reality stars lost their son, whom they planned to name, Asa. Josiah and Lauren found out they were expecting soon after they got married in June 2018, but lost the baby at five weeks.

A recent episode of "Counting On" showed that the first-time mom was devastated by the loss and suffered depression for a long time.

Lauren got over it with the help of Josiah and the realization that every good and perfect gift comes from God. Today, she's looking forward to enjoying the joys of motherhood, and couldn't be happier.
