Another Duggar on the Way
When Jessa and Ben Seewald celebrate their first wedding anniversary this year, they just might have a third person at the party.
"We're expecting!" Jessa, 22, tells PEOPLE. "We are so excited. The due date is November first, our wedding anniversary." Adds Ben, 19, "We are looking forward to being parents."
The third daughter born to Jim Bob, 49 and Michelle Duggar, 48 and her husband, the oldest of seven Seewald children, revealed their happy news as Jessa enters into her second trimester. Tonight's episode of their TLC hit show 19 Kids & Counting, airing at 9 p.m., will feature a special message from the couple for fans.
"I am feeling pretty good," says Jessa. "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 food cravings."

Before church one Sunday morning, Jessa says she took a pregnancy test and brought it in to show Ben.
"I said, 'Hey Ben, guess what? Yeah, you're a dad.' We couldn't believe it," Jessa says. "We are so excited. We have started talking baby names. It is one of those things that is so special, picking a name for a baby."
The couple revealed their plans to adopt in an exclusive at-home interview – and now say their plans haven't changed just because they are expecting a child.
"Our hearts haven't changed on adoption," Jessa says. (The agency the couple has contacted requires prospective parents to be married for two years before adopting.) "We are still making plans."
But, Ben says that they are taking time to enjoy their happy news.
"We are trying to take it one day at a time," he says. "We pray every night that God helps us be good parents. We are getting advice from other parents."
Jessa's older sister Jill Dillard, 23 and her husband, Derick, 26, welcomed son Israel David on April 6 after a 70-hour labor. Jill, a student midwife, "has all the knowledge and training," Jessa says.
"I am not comparing, not worrying about what could happen, we are just getting prepared," Jessa says. "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."

Dear lord! The poor guy is 19 and he was in college when he met her. Jim Bob told him to quit to move to their property so he could spend more time with Jessa. Now he has to support 15 or however many kids they have with odd jobs from Jim Bob.

No they just have sold themselves out to tv and mags. These 2 dont work and are 19 and 21.
There is so much about this family that is just wrong and many people dont see that side. There is more to them not being on welfare.

Re: Another Duggar on the Way
They are still so young. With the way these kids have been sheltered, and not even being able to hug or kiss until after they're married I'd think they'd want to enjoy their newlywed life for at least a short while before adding 18 children to the mix.

Re: Another Duggar on the Way
I don't follow these shows but are they trying to get pregnant
What I mean is I get they don't use birth control but are they doing it around ovulation etc
Like why don't they want to just be married for a bit

They don't know any better. They are raised that you get married to have babies.

It is not, under normal adult situations who support themselves and their children.

Re: Another Duggar on the Way
I say congratulations! Just because they don't live a life that's "normal" in accordance with the current societal norms in this county doesn't mean they're wrong. I think it's pretty closed minded to say they're wrong just because it's not how you choose to do things. They teach their children their beliefs, which I think is what all parents do. They're not hurting anyone.

They are hurting their adult children by controlling them.

Yes, and fame doesn't last forever. I'm wondering if they will be on welfare in 20 years or so.
There is a lot of shady stuff going on behind the scenes with that family...

But they don't use the government to support themselves so I don't get all the hate towards them.
They are not the average american family but they have morals, are grounded, respectful etc. Sure some of their ways are not the popular ways, but who cares.
I have said it before - I DO NOT agree with all their views on mainstream topics, but I find them harmless.
