Jessa Duggar appears to be enjoying being a mother as she took to Twitter and Instagram on Tuesday, Nov. 10, to share a photo of her, husband Ben Seewald and their newborn son.

In the photo, Jessa is cradling their baby, who is wrapped in a white swaddling blanket while Ben leans in. She captioned it, "So in love with our little man!" and added the hashtag "#babyseewald." Jessa informed her followers that their son was born on Nov. 5 and that he weighs 9 lbs. and 11 ounces and measures 21 inches long.

Meanwhile, her fans wondered why they were keeping the baby's name a secret. An Instagram follower asked, "Why won't you tell his name?"

Jessa took to the micro blogging site to explain that they have yet to pick a middle name for their son. "P.S. Still haven't settled on his middle name! Looking forward to sharing as soon as we decide!" she wrote.

The "19 Kids and Counting" star previously shared a photo of her son swaddled in a brown towel. "Everytime I look into this precious little face, I can't believe he's really mine! I feel blessed beyond measure!"

It was reported that Jessa opted for a home birth, but according to TMZ, an ambulance was called to her home and she was rushed to the hospital for reasons that are still unclear.

Prior to her baby's birth, Jessa gave fans regular updates on her pregnancy through her social media accounts. The couple announced in April that they were expecting. Jessa also posted an online poll asking fans to guess the gender of her baby and even encouraged them to make suggestions for baby names.

The couple also celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary on Nov. 1. To mark the special occasion, Jessa and Ben posted the unedited video of their wedding ceremony on their Seewald Family website. They also shared some never-before-seen photos from their 2014 nuptials.
