As Jessa Seewald turned 23 on Wednesday, Nov. 4, her husband Ben and members of the Duggar family treated her to lunch and showered her with warm birthday greetings, all the while teasing her that it would be the ideal time for her to give birth to her first child as well.

On their Facebook page, Jessa's parents Jim Bob and Michelle write, "This girl has always brought life to our house and everywhere she goes. We are so thankful for the young lady she has become. We love the happiness she has found with Ben and their devotion to the Lord. We are especially excited to meet a new grandbaby soon!!! Jessa will certainly be a wonderful mom."

"Today might be a good day to have that sweet new one!" her parents add.

Jessa also received a greeting from her closest sister Jinger: "Happy Birthday, Jess! Oh, the memories we've shared throughout the years...you have always been there to inspire, encourage, and point me back to Jesus! Lots of love, Jinger."

Ben, on the other hand, greeted Jessa through a video message. The soon-to-be dad told his wife, "Happy birthday sweetheart! We should have Baby Seewald any day. I love you, you're going to be the best mom ever, and I'm so glad I married you!"

Ben and Jessa were supposed to welcome their first child, nicknamed Quincy on the day of their wedding anniversary, which was on Nov. 1. However, Quincy has decided to stay put for the meantime and the Christian couple has put their home birth on hold.

The baby's gender still remains a mystery to their fans and even to the members of Duggar and Seewald families, although many of them believe that Jessa is actually carrying a girl. There are also others who think that Jessa is carrying twins, noting that her mom has said that having twins run in her side of the family.
