Last month, Jessa Duggar and husband Ben Seewald announced that they are expecting their first child. Now, the couple is celebrating another milestone as Ben has just graduated from college. 

Sharing an Instagram collage of the ceremony on Saturday, May 16, in Hot Springs, Arkansas, the "19 Kids andd Counting" star wrote, "Congrats to my man @ben_seewald! So proud of you! #CollegeGraduation #NationalParkCollege." 

Jessa also posted a video of the 19-year old walking on stage to accept his diploma and captioned the clip, "…and he blew me a kiss on stage! @ben_seewald, I love you so much! So proud of you!" 

Ben, who will turn 20 years old on Tuesday, May 19, completed his second year at National Park Community College with a major in political science. The school offers two-year Associate of Arts degrees in social sciences with disciplines in political science. 

Meanwhile, Daily Mail reports that Jessa was enrolled in CollegePlus distance learning online courses with an undeclared major.

Her parents Jim Bob and Michelle are spokespersons for the program and some of the older Duggar children are said to have participated in the program. 

While Jessa is clearly elated at her husband's success, she is also currently focused on her pregnancy. She is now in the second trimester, and earlier this month, she took to Instagram to share an ultrasound picture of her baby, captioned, "Baby Seewald is growing! Already so in love with this person! #13weeks." 

Jessa and Ben also spilled some details to fans while filming at the Cross Church Compassion Center in Springdale, Arkansas last month. According to Radar Online, Jessa told a group of university students that she and her husband are about to learn the baby's gender sometime in May. 

Jessa is due to give birth on Nov. 1.
