Jessa Duggar Seewald is a mom! The 23-year-old and her husband Ben Seewald, 20, welcomed their first child this evening - and it's a boy, a rep for the reality star confirms.
While the brand new parents have yet to comment on their new arrival, the happy news was confirmed tonight by Ben's sister Jessica Seewald, who took to Instagram to announce, "I'm an auntie!"
With her due date having come and gone, Jessa has been very anxiously awaiting the big day. Posting a pregnancy selfie last week, she wrote, "Feeling as big as a barn, and soooo ready to meet my baby!"
She also admitted trying some tricks to induce labor - like snacking on pineapple.
"So has anyone else tried the 'eating an entire fresh pineapple' thing for helping to bring on labor?" Jessa asked her online followers last Friday. "Apparently it doesn't work for everyone, 'cause I ate the whole thing yesterday... and still no signs of labor! (Sure was a tasty pineapple tho!) Guess #BabySeewald still wants to camp out in there a little longer! Patience, Mama, patience..."
Whether it was the pineapple or just good old fashioned patience, the wait is finally over for Jessa and Ben.
Baby Seewald's arrival comes just four days after the couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary, exchanging love notes on Instagram to mark the occasion.
"To the man of my dreams: Baby, you are my best friend and the Love of my life!" Jessa gushed on November 1. "I'm so thankful to God for bringing us together! This past year with you has been the best yet-- I'm sure only to be outdone by the next!"
"Love you today more than ever!" her husband replied.
Of course, these two lovebirds aren't the only ones celebrating today's big news. The entire Duggar clan is no doubt over the moon about welcoming another member to their big and always growing group.
Jessa's parents Michelle and Jim-Bob Duggar - who may not yet be done having babies themselves - have made no secret of their hope for many (many!) grandchildren.
“Four grandkids and counting. Going on 200," Jim-Bob exclaimed after Jessa's sister Jill welcomed baby Israel earlier this year.
200 grandchildren?! I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Congratulations to Jessa and Ben on their baby boy!
Did you try any natural ways to induce labor?
