Jessa Duggar & Husband Ben Seewald Welcome 9 lb Baby Boy! [PHOTOS]
Baby Seewald is here! MStars News has learned that Jessa Duggar and husband Ben Seewald welcomed their first child together, a baby boy weighing a shocking 9 lbs! According to TLC, the new parents were overjoyed to share the first photo of their new son.
Despite seeing the baby's first photo, we still don't know the baby's name. According to the Seewalds' website, they will share the baby's name soon. The new dad revealed that his son was born on Thursday, Nov. 5, and said that his wife and son were both doing great. "He's precious and both he and Jessa are doing great," Ben wrote.
Baby Seewald joins his older cousin, Israel David Dillard, who also weighed a big number when his parents, Jill and Derick Dillard, delivered him back in March of this year. After Baby Seewald's birth, the family couldn't wait to see the new edition to the former 19 Kids and Counting stars.
The Duggar's cousin, Amy, came to visit her new relative. In the snapshot below, Amy smiles for the camera as Baby Seewald sleeps.
In the next photo, grandpa Jim Bob and grandma Michelle Duggar share a moment with their sixth grandchild.
Besides little Israel, Baby Seewald's older cousins includes Marcus Anthony Duggar, Meredith Grace Duggar, Mackynzie Renée Duggar, and Michael James Duggar – all four are the little one's of Josh Duggar and his wife Anna.
According to Entertainment Tonight, Jessa gave birth to her son at home in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Baby Seewald was born four days after his expected due date. In the photo below, Ben shared a moment with his son after he was born.
Before her son was born, Jessa predicted that she'd probably have a big baby. She too was born at 9 lbs. "We've been taking a poll with the Duggar and Seewald families over the past few weeks, and everyone is trying to guess how much they think #BabySeewald might weigh at birth...," Jessa wrote last week.
"I was the biggest out of all my siblings, weighing 9lbs 15oz- and Ben weighed 8lbs 15oz. Haha! I'd say it's very possible we could have a chubby little baby!" Oh boy was she right!
MStars News says congrats to the new bundle of joy! We can't wait to learn his name. Hopefully Baby Seewald's birth story will be shared on Jessa and Jill's new motherhood show, Jessa & Jill: Counting On.
