Just a few weeks after the announcement of their pregnancy, the Seewald family have reached another milestone as Ben graduated from National Park College with a degree in Political Science.

His pregnant wife Jessa Duggar is bursting with pride over her husband's success and shared a photo collage of Ben's graduation on her Instagram account (@jessaseewald). She wrote, "Congrats to my man @ben_seewald!!! So proud of you!"

After that, Jessa posted a video of Ben while he was on stage. She felt giddy as "he blew me a kiss from the stage!" The reality star added, "@ben_seewald, I love you so much! So proud of you!"

Later, Jessa shared another photo of Ben wearing his toga gown and hat as he leaned in to give her a kiss. She said that she "had a wonderful weekend in Hot Springs with the @seewaldfamily" and offered her husband another round of congratulations on his graduation.

Jessa is now 16 weeks pregnant, and the expectant mother is enjoying reading up about her baby's growth. Their baby is now 4.57 inches and 3.53 ounces, she shared, adding that even though the baby is still quite small, the little heart is already pumping 25 quarts of blood every day.

In her update, Jessa also learned that her baby is becoming more active and is already busy practising all the movements. Plus, the baby's bones are hardening as the legs and arms are now fully formed.

It is "so awe-inspiring to read about #BabySeewald's growth from week-to-week!" Jessa captioned the photo.

She also shared the Bible verses Psalm 139:13-14 that says: "For You [God] formed my inward parts; You knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are Your works; my soul knows it very well."
