Just like her sister Jill Dillard, Jessa Seewald plans to have a home birth to welcome her and husband Ben's first child into the world.

"Our plan is to have a home birth. We have lots of relatives and friends who have had wonderful experiences with giving birth at home, and we are excited and hopeful that our experience will be the same," she shared in an interview posted in the Duggar Family Blog.

"But we also realize that sometimes (as in Jill's case) a transfer to the hospital may be necessary, and our birth plan definitely includes a plan B."

Jessa is looking forward to being a mother. One of the things she is most excited about is sharing God's love to her child. She also hopes that her and Ben's first child, whose gender still remains a mystery, would inherit his or her father's compassionate heart.

"His heart truly aches when he sees people going through a difficult time, and he hurts with the hurting. He is especially alert and attentive to the emotions of others," Jessa said. "Often times, he's calling people on the phone or writing notes of encouragement and support to those in need. His love for people is so deep and genuine. He desires to share the hope of Christ with those who are lost. He draws inspiration from studying the Bible, and he has the heart of an evangelist."

Jessa further shared that Ben looks up to men such as Charles Spurgeon and Paul Washer, who are devoted Christian speakers and missionaries. To emulate his heroes, he constantly reads books and listens to sermons.

"His passion for the Gospel is so inspiring, and he continually motivates me to draw closer to Christ," the proud wife said.

She and Ben will welcome their first child on Nov. 1 this year, the same day that they got married last year.
