The little Brynlee is an absolute wish child. The infant is still at the premature birth ward. But in about three weeks she will be able to leave the hospital.

Kirsten and her husband Matt tried to get pregnant for 20 years. Until then, it was a tough fight. Only at the age of 43 did Kirsten become the mother of little Brynlee . In the twenties women are the most likely to become pregnant. From the age of 35, the chance to get pregnant drastically decreases. The chance to get pregnant is only 1 in 20.

Kirsten had the last of her four miscarriages in 2014 - in the sixth month. Traumatic for the couple. "It was the worst thing that ever happened, " says Matt Dugger. But then came the little Brynlee. As witnessed, the Duggers do not announce. But whether it worked naturally or with artificial insemination. The Duggers are certainly the happiest parents at Christmas.
