Just days after her sister Jill welcomed baby Israel David into the world, 22-year-old Jessa Seewald (née Duggar) and her husband Ben announced they were expecting their first child together!
Having tied the knot in November last year, Jessa and Ben reveal that they are overjoyed to be starting a family together.
Having understandably kept schtum about the wonderful news until she passed the 12 week milestone, Jessa is now thrilled to be able to open up.
Speaking to People magazine in an exclusive interview, the beautiful mum-to-be gushed: "We are so excited! The due date is November first, our wedding anniversary."
Having officially announced the news, Jessa was free to chat about her impending arrival on the latest episode of 19 Kids and Counting where she happily chatted morning sickness and cravings.
Revealing that she hasn't experienced any severe symptoms, Jessa said: "I am feeling pretty good. The morning sickness was different every day. It's getting better, but I'm still hanging on to the heartburn. And I don't have any super-serious cravings."
Having only just become an aunt and uncle to baby Israel, the Seewald's hope to use the experience to guide them on their journey, saying: "We are trying to take it one day at a time. We pray every night that God helps us to be good parents We are getting advice from other parents."
Overjoyed to be starting a family after their first year of marriage, Jessa said: "I think having this first year together to share our lives, just the two of us, has been special. We are definitely excited to be parents."
Congratulations to the lovely couple!
