Jessa's 25-Week Baby Bump

Baby Seewald No. 3 is due in the first week of June, which means that Jessa has reached her 25-week mark and will enter her third trimester next month. Before we share a photo of Jessa's baby bump, we want to ask that you would continue to pray for Josiah and Lauren Duggar. Their first child, whom they miscarried, was due on the same day as Jessa and Ben's third baby.

At 25 weeks, Baby Seewald is about 1-1/2 pounds. We thought it would be interesting to post a photo of Jessa's current baby bump (top photo), as well as her past baby bumps (second photo). The picture on the left was taken when she was 25 weeks and 4 days pregnant with Spurgeon in mid 2015, and the picture on the right shows her bump at around the same time during her pregnancy with Henry in late 2016. We also included a snapshot of Jinger at 25 weeks pregnant with Felicity.

What name suggestions do you have, now that you have seen the baby (photo below)? Also, do you think he looks like his older brother? (Scroll down for a picture of newborn Spurgeon.)

Baby Seewald Coming Soon

Baby Seewald is due in just 5 days! Jessa and Ben's first child, Spurgeon Seewald, was due on their one-year wedding anniversary (November 1st, 2015) but arrived four days late. At birth, Spurgeon weighed 9 lbs 11 oz and measured 21 1/4 inches long.

The photos below show Jessa at 39 weeks pregnant with her first baby (left) and her second (right). When do you think Baby #2 will arrive, and how much do you think he or she will weigh?

Jessa Seewald's Baby Shower

With Baby Seewald's due date only three weeks away, the Duggar sisters and party planning friend Sierra threw Jessa a baby shower.

 The theme of the shower was, well, rain showers.

Rather than bring gifts for Jessa, guests were asked to buy supplies for Loving Choices, a local, nonprofit pregnancy center. 

During the shower, the ladies put together care packages (a pen, a devotional book, and other treats) for the women at the pregnancy center.

Do you recognize any of the guests?

The ladies were served lemon orzo soup, Sierra's famous homemade brownies, and other munchies.

Fourteen-month-old Spurgeon Seewald is clearly looking forward to having a younger sibling. Okay, maybe he doesn't quite understand, but we think he will make a great older brother.

Seewalds Celebrate 2 Years

Happy two-year wedding anniversary to Jessa and Ben Seewald!

The couple began courting in September 2013. (Their first date was at MarketPlace Grill.) Eleven months later, following another meal at MarketPlace Grill, Ben proposed at Thorncrown Chapel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

Jessa Duggar married Ben Seewald on November 1st, 2014, and the two welcomed their first child, Spurgeon Elliot Seewald, four days after their first wedding anniversary. Then in August 2016, Jessa and Ben announced their second pregnancy; Baby Seewald is due on February 2nd.

Baby Seewald to Arrive in 14 Weeks

Jessa Seewald is just shy of her 26-week milestone in her pregnancy with baby No. 2! The photo on the right shows her baby bump now, and the one on the left was taken when she was 25 weeks and four days along with Spurgeon.

The Seewalds say they might end up announcing the gender to their family (and to the world), but they also may choose to keep it under wraps until the birth, as they did last time around. What's your guess...boy or girl?

Spurgeon's 2-Month Milestone

Spurgeon Seewald is two months old! Baby Seewald, whose nickname is Quincy, was born November 5th weighing 9 lbs 11 oz and measuring 21 1/4 inches long. Jessa and Ben Seewald deliberated for almost a week before deciding on a name for their firstborn son.

Check out these adorable snapshots, and watch a video update from the Seewalds (below).

Spurgeon or Quincy?

A number of readers have asked what the Duggars and Seewalds call Jessa and Ben Seewald's almost-four-week-old son, whose given name is Spurgeon Elliot Seewald.

Proud Mama Jessa shared with us that Baby Seewald most often goes by Spurgeon, although some people still call him Quincy, a nickname that the expectant parents came up with before finding out the gender of their child.
