It is now Ben and Jessa Seewald's turn to experience the joys of pregnancy, and the young couple is feeling "so grateful and blessed" since they have been surrounded by supportive family, friends and fans during this wonderful moment in their lives.
"We want to pause a moment and thank all of you who have been lifting us up in prayer," they wrote in the Seewald Family Blog. "Our little family is, by God's grace, going to continue seeking to lovingly point people to Christ and encourage those who are down. God's goodness and kindness to us even in difficult times is humbling and wonderful!"
They have not yet revealed what their baby's gender will be, but one thing is certain—the rumour that Jessa might be carrying twins, which her excited mother Michelle might have started, is not true.
"Baby Seewald is growing steadily and Mommy has been feeling some little, yet strong, kicks! We recently had an ultrasound, but aren't revealing our firstborn's gender yet. Can't wait to welcome this blessing from God into the world!" they added.
On her Instagram account (@jessaseewald), Jessa even shared the video of their ultrasound and noted that Baby Seewald is growing pretty fast, since the baby is already practicing swallowing, sucking a thumb, and actively moving the arms and legs.
When Jessa shared a selfie taken of her 20-week-old baby bump, the fans of "19 Kids and Counting" began a guessing game on whether Jessa is carrying a boy or a girl. So far, majority have placed their bets on a girl since they noticed that Jessa is blooming during her pregnancy.
"The baby will be gorgeous just like her mother," a fan commented. Another person said, "You was always beautiful but now that you are expecting you look more BEAUTIFUL."
