posted in CelebritiesCongratulatory wishes on a pregnancy are once again in order for the Duggar family, as Jessa is expecting! The big news from the even bigger 19 Kids and Counting family came Tuesday, as the new wife of Ben Seewald opened up to People about their baby joy.
"I am feeling pretty good," the 22-year-old daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar shared. "The morning sickness was different every day. It's getting better, but I'm still hanging on to the heartburn. And I don't have any super serious food cravings."
Explaining she took a pregnancy test before church one morning and then brought it to Ben, Jessa recalled, "I said, 'Hey Ben, guess what? Yeah, you're a dad.' We couldn't believe it. We are so excited. We have started talking baby names. It is one of those things that is so special, picking a name for a baby."
Ben and Jessa's baby will be Jim Bob and Michelle's sixth grandchild. Their son Josh has three children and his wife Anna is due to deliver their fourth in June, and Jill just welcomed a son named Israel. The couple previously spoke about plans to adopt, and are making it clear that's still on their to-do list.
"Our hearts haven't changed on adoption," Jessa Duggar explained. "We are still making plans."
For now Jessa and Ben are focused on her pregnancy, and counting down to baby's very special due date.
"We are so excited," she gushed. "The due date is November first, our [first] wedding anniversary."
Isn't that sweet? My firstborn son arrived on the fall, which is my favorite season, and a niece of mine was due on her grandpa's birthday. Just recently a friend of mine was given April 1 (April Fool's Day) as a due date and wasn't too happy about it -- and what do you know, her little one actually arrived on his due date!
Was your baby's due date on a special occasion?
