'19 Kids and Counting' update: Jessa Duggar pregnant rumors

Is the Duggar Family going to get bigger this year? Rumors swirl that newlywed Jessa Seewald is now pregnant and there will be a new Duggar to be expected.

Jessa and Ben Seewald got married back in November and it shouldn't come as a surprise if the couple is already expecting a baby this soon. Jessa and Ben did make it clear in a past interview that they are looking to have a big family. 

In an interview with People Magazine last year, Jessa shared, "We both want to have a big family. We are talking about our goals and the future with family. We have both talked about adoption and want to adopt, too."

Now, the couple's hope and wish may have already come true. Rumors started when Jessa made an Instagram post referring to her older sister, Jill, as a good example. The original post said:

"So thankful for this sweet girl Jill, you're such an amazing example to me of what it means to be a loving wife —and now a mother also! I love you so much!! So blessed to call you my sister." 

However, this loving tribute to Jill was already deleted and it was cut short. Now, the new post just reads, "So thankful for this sweet girl! Jill, you're such an amazing example to me of what it means to be a..."

Apparently, when Jessa made the first post, her fans and followers immediately asked her if she was pregnant. Later on, the post was changed. Consequently, the rumors got stronger after this. 

Adding fire to the smoke is Jessa's recent uploads on her account. For one, she has been posting food photos lately. There's one video where she and Ben ate Chick-fil-A. It was captioned: "I actually got the grilled chicken wrap, but I had to have a bite of Ben's Spicy Deluxe w/ Pepper Jack! Add a little Texas Pete, and *WOW!* Your taste buds will be in heaven!" 

Further, Jessa's recent photos of herself only show her from the waist up. Over at Facebook, there is a photo of Jessa and Ben for the Duggar Family Christmas Album 2014 that shows her covering her tummy with a pillow. 

Jessa has been glowing lately, but it's not certain if it's due to pregnancy hormones or just a happy married life. Nonetheless, if Jessa is pregnant, she will make an announcement when she's ready. 

"19 Kids and Counting" will return on Feb. 17, 2015. The new season will feature Jessa and Ben's wedding.
