Jessa Duggar from "Counting On" has just given birth to her second baby boy last year, but fans of the family believe she might be carrying her third child already.

The suspicions began forming after Jessa and her husband, Ben Seewald, created a video congratulating her sister, Joy-Anna, because of her pregnancy. The placement of Ben's hand made fans believe that he is cradling another baby in her belly, according to InTouch Weekly. Add to that, Jessa is also wearing a loose-fitting dress.

"So when will Jessa be making her announcement too? She totally looks preggers too," a family fan wrote on Facebook. "Waiting for Jessa's announcement!" another added.

Although Ben and Jessa plan on having a large family, they have put their baby-making plans on hold in order to make room for adoption. "It will be a little while since we just had a baby, but adopting and fostering to adopt is very much in our hearts," Jessa told PEOPLE of the possibility of baby number three.

"We just need a little more space," Jessa laughingly added. "We're always checking the market!" The reality star even said that it is her mother, Michelle, who taught her about the blessing of having a large family. "My mom always says, 'Love doesn't divide, it multiplies,'" she shared. "It's so true."

Ben and Jessa are already the proud parents of two boys - Spurgeon Elliot and Henry Wilberforce. Ben and Jessa make a good team in caring for their boys, but they will have to double up their efforts when more babies come along.

"I take one. He takes the other," Jessa said. Ben added, "Right now we have two kids and there's two of us, so it's man-to-man coverage. When we have more, we'll have to switch it up to a zone defense!"
