Jamie took to Instagram on Thursday and posted half of dozen sweet pictures from her family's photo shoot for their 2019 Christmas cards, and Jamie and Doug's two-year-old daughter Henley Grace stole the show.

"Holiday card photos...did not go as planned. In order to get our toddler to smile we literally had to hang her upside down, tickle her & smother her with kisses, stick our tongues out, give her a 'milkshake' (which was really just milk, ice, a handful of spinach & a banana blended), and bring an armless Mrs. Potato head out," Jamie captioned the slideshow.
As Jamie wrote in the first part of her caption, the pictures featured Henley with a Mrs. Potato Head figurine, Henley and her parents drinking one milkshake with three straws, Jamie and Doug both kissing Henley on her cheeks, the trio rolling their tongues, and Doug and Jamie holding Henley upside down by her legs as she giggled.

In another photo, Jamie was holding Henley on her hip as the pregnant mother and Doug connected two giant candy canes to form a heart.
The trio all wore red-and-black plaid shirts with denim jeans for the casual photo shoot that appeared to take place in their home, which was decorated beautifully for Christmas with a sparkling tree, garland, and stockings hung from the fireplace mantel.
"None of the pictures came out how I planned. I was hoping for that cutesy family photo where we all sit looking pretty while smiling at the camera," Jamie continued in her Thursday Instagram post.
"BUT, honestly, I kinda think these pics turned out even BETTER than what I had hoped for. It's real life as parents of a toddler & I'm just so *thankful* we get to live it! I used to *dream* of having a child of my own to celebrate the holidays with. I spent a couple Christmases crying for the babies I've lost."

Jamie and Doug, who got married on Season 1 of Married at First Sight, announced in September they're expecting their second child. One month later, the couple revealed they have a baby boy on the way who's due to arrive in May 2020.
The couple, however, struggled with infertility issues in recent years. Prior to Henley's arrival, Jamie delivered a son, Johnathan, at only 17 weeks in 2016 and he sadly did not survive.
After Henley was born, Jamie experienced a miscarriage shortly after conception was detected over one year ago, and then in January 2019, Jamie disclosed she had lost another baby at 10 weeks, according to E! News.
"This Christmas my heart is fuller than ever. I've got the most rambunctious, beautiful, FUN little girl and a sweet rainbow baby growing healthy inside me," Jamie added in her post.
"The only problem I have is WHICH PICS SHOULD I USE FOR OUR CHRISTMAS CARD?!? Please help! Lol. I need 3 for the card I have planned! What are your top three favs????"

"Also, every year we send a card out to our frans to thank you for all your love and support!️ This year we are sending 5,000!!!!! Lmk if you'd like to get one & I'll let ya know how to get on the list," Jamie concluded.
She also added the following hashtags to her Instagram post, "#marriedatfirstsight #mafs #christmascardphoto #holidaypictures #christmasiscoming #christmaspics #familyphotography #merrychristmas #happyholidays #rainbowbaby #matchymatchy #christmastime #holidaycards #tistheseason #falalalala #toddlermomlife #toddlermom #toddlersofinstagram #toddlerfashion."

Earlier this week, Jamie shared two more pictures from the fun photo shoot, one in which Doug was kissing her on the head and another in which Henley was sitting in front of the fireplace by herself.
"I LOVE YOU DOUGLAS EDWARD HEHNER. You married a complete stranger who was weighed down with SO much baggage (that seems to keep rising to the surface) and you have *always* made me feel wanted, worthy, & LOVED just as I am," Jamie captioned the photos in part.

Following Jamie and Doug's stint on Married at First Sight, the pair co-starred on Married at First Sight: The First Year, a spinoff which continued to follow the two MAFS Season 1 couples who opted to remain together during their first year of marriage.
Jamie and Doug also later starred on Married at First Sight: Jamie and Doug Plus One, their own spinoff which premiered in December 2017.
Jamie currently serves as the host of Married at First Sight: Unfiltered, the show's post-episode discussion show that also airs on Lifetime.
Jamie and Doug additionally appeared on Married at First Sight: Couples Couch, which featured former MAFS couples offering commentary on encore broadcasts of the show's ninth-season episodes, this past summer.
