Jessa Duggar shared another selfie on her Instagram account last Wednesday, July 1, as she continues to chronicle her pregnancy on social media. The post came three days after the "19 Kids and Counting" star posted a photo of her latest ultrasound picture on the photo sharing app.

The latest photo shows the 22-year old wearing a blue shirt while she poses in front of the mirror to take the shot. It was captioned, "At 22 weeks #BabySeewald now weighs just over a pound!" 

In an update written on the Seewald Family Blog titled "Grateful and Blessed," she shared that the baby is "growing steadily and Mommy has been feeling some little, yet strong kicks!" Jessa added that she and her husband, Ben Seewald, are not revealing their eldest's gender yet. The baby is due on Nov. 1, which is also the date of Jessa and Ben's wedding anniversary. 

Jessa's post marks her gradual return to social media after news of her brother Josh's molestation scandal broke in May, which revealed that he inappropriately touched five young girls when he was a teenager. 

Since the revelation, Josh, his wife Anna, and parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have issued statements regarding the incidents that took place roughly 12 years ago.
