In her latest YouTube video, Joy-Anna shared some exciting news just weeks ahead of the arrival of her third child: She’s having a baby boy.
The TLC star began the clip by filming herself at a doctor’s appointment, showing sonogram photos of her son and sharing with fans details of the snap.
Later in the clip, she let fans know: “That went well.”
Joy-Anna continued: “Baby is measuring right on 33 weeks. The doctor was like – he said that it could just be the baby’s position at this point.
“At this point, baby’s moving a lot so the belly measurement is not completely accurate. Anyway, everything is going good.
“Everything looked good: blood pressure, my vitals, everything, so I’m pretty excited.”
She then shared: “I thought after this appointment I was going to go to every week but it’s not until after a two-week break and then I will go to every-week appointments. And then next appointment we should be able to schedule my induction date and kind of get an idea of what we’re gonna plan for.
“I’m so excited. I cannot believe we’re two weeks away from knowing the date and then from there, we’ll only be three weeks away from having the baby.
“It’s getting real, and it’s getting close.”
Joy-Anna told her followers: “I feel like I was really prepared and I just was not worried at all. I feel like now that it’s getting so close I’m like – and my hormones have been insane recently.
“I’ve been super emotional about everything.
“I’m not really nervous about having another baby but like I guess all of the unknowns of the what-ifs and whatever I think if I think about it too long then it’s like, ‘OK, well, what if this, what if that.’ So I just have to give it to the Lord and trust that everything’s gonna be ok.”
The TV personality told her followers: “I’m really excited. I can’t wait to meet this little baby boy.”
COMING SOON
Last month, Joy-Anna teased her due date on social media.
She shared a video that she titled: “I answer YOUR Most Asked Questions!”
Early into the long clip, she answered “the most commonly asked question” which was: “How many weeks pregnant are you!?”

The Arkansas native revealed: “I am 30 weeks along,” before adding, “I’m probably going to get induced a little bit early.”
She then responded to a fan’s follow-up question, which was: “Do you want more kids after this?”
Joy-Anna replied: “I’ve been saying like four or five but we’ll see.”
Later in the video, the TLC star said: “The other most commonly asked question was, ‘Have you named your baby yet?’ [and] ‘What’s your baby’s name?'”
She was quick to respond, revealing: “We have not.”
She added: “We have a list of like five names, maybe so far, that we’re like: ‘These are options.'”
Joy-Anna explained: “We’re not going to decide until the baby’s born. It’s kind of a tradition we didn’t mean to create but it happened.”
DISSING DAD
Back in December, the mom of two shared another clue about her baby’s name.
In a video titled “Christmas Time Q&A,” Joy-Anna shared some highly-anticipated information with fans about her pregnancy and more.
One fan asked: “What are name ideas for this baby?”
“Just to give you guys a sneak peek, we are definitely using James either as a first name or the middle name. I’m thinking it will probably be used as a middle name,” Joy-Anna stated.
“Austin’s papaw passed away a few years ago and he told him before he passed that our next boy would have ‘James’ in it. He agreed that we would do that,” she added.
“We’re going to have James mixed in there somewhere,” Joy-Anna explained. “His name was Edwin James Forsyth and it was about using his name and honoring him in that way.”
After the partial name reveal, fans quickly noted that despite using the name James in some way, she said that it was not in honor of her own father Jim Bob.
“I love the unintentional shade at James being 100% for Austin’s grandfather and not at all for Jimbob,” one fan snarked.
“And that she fully has a brother with the first name James,” another added.
One user pointed out: “The only bummer is that Jim Bob can easily wedge himself in and say ‘it’s for Austin’s grandfather and Joy’s father!'”
