Life Update from Jessa Seewald

In case you haven't heard the news, Jessa Seewald is pregnant with her sixth child! The baby is due in summer 2025. Jessa and Ben typically choose to find out the gender of their babies but keep it a secret until the birth. They haven't yet shared their gender reveal plans for this pregnancy, but Jessa just posted a YouTube video updating her fans on the latest Seewald family news. Jessa unpacks the family's weekly schedule and mentions some of the activities that her kids are involved in.

Jana Duggar's Wedding Part 2

Did you catch part one of Jana Duggar's wedding? She and Stephen Wissmann have been married almost five months, and part two of their special day has just been uploaded to YouTube. You'll enjoy watching the wedding ceremony processional, including the tender moment when Jim Bob Duggar walks his eldest daughter down the aisle. You'll hear the pastor share his message, and you'll see the crowd cheer as Stephen and Jana are pronounced husband and wife. If you look closely at 13:00, you'll catch some of the Duggar family photos. Then it's on to the reception, which kicks off with lively bridal party introductions. Jessa Seewald steps up to the mic to give her matron of honor speech, followed by the best man's speech, the romantic first dance, and the send-off.

Jana's Bachelorette Trip

Happy Thanksgiving to our readers in the United States! We hope you have a wonderful day celebrating with family and friends.

For her bachelorette trip, Jana Duggar flew to California with a group of Duggar ladies just a couple weeks before her wedding. Michelle Duggar, Joy-Anna Forsyth, Jessa Seewald and baby George, Abbie Duggar, Johannah Duggar, Jennifer Duggar, Jordyn Duggar, and Josie Duggar all headed to the West Coast to visit Jinger Vuolo. Their journey began with a run-in with local law enforcement, but they didn't miss their flight. While in California, Michelle confronted a thief. Jana just uploaded footage from the trip to her YouTube account.

Jana Chooses a Venue and a Dress

Jana Duggar, now Jana Wissmann, has started sharing wedding planning and house renovations on YouTube. Accompanied by sisters Jessa Seewald and Joy Forsyth and sister-in-law Abbie Duggar, she chose her venue and her dress. What do you think of her choices?

Tour Jana's Tiny House

A few years ago, Jana Duggar moved into a tiny house. In true Duggar fashion, she did a lot of renovations before moving in. She has worked hard to make it functional and beautiful. She does a lot of movie nights with her sisters. She also has two sinks side-by-side, courtesy of her brothers. Visit her YouTube channel to watch her 14-minute tour, filmed by Jessa Seewald.

Jessa and Ben's New House

 

Ben Seewald and Jessa Seewald

Jessa and Ben Seewald are upgrading! They are in the process of renovating a home of their own. They are adding a master suite, which will bring the total square footage up to about 2,000 square feet. Their current place is half that size. Jessa uploaded a video to YouTube that shows the early stages of the project (link below). The video starts last summer, just before Jessa delivered Fern, which is why she appears pregnant.

Duggar Ladies at MarketPlace

MarketPlace Grill holds a special place in the Duggars' hearts. They often go for birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, and other important occasions. With Jessa's due date approaching this summer, she met her mom and Jana at MarketPlace for some girl time. Fun fact: Jessa and Ben ate at MarketPlace right before Spurgeon was born.

Beach vacation 2021

Jessa Seewald is pregnant with her fourth child, a rainbow baby, but she and Ben have not yet shared the child's gender. They found out via ultrasound but are keeping it under wraps, as they have done in the past. They also haven't announced the exact due date, only that their little one is set to arrive sometime this summer. 

For a fun Friday discussion, we thought we would let you all share your guesses in the comments section: Do you think Baby Seewald #4 will be a boy or a girl?

If I Throw a Fit...

Henry Seewald, Ivy Seewald, Spurgeon Seewald

"I think being a parent now for four years, I'm realizing now much I don't know about this."

-Jessa Seewald

Jessa and Ben Seewald have three children ages four and under, and before Spurgeon's fourth birthday in November, they had three ages three and under. TLC just posted a video in which the Seewalds share some thoughts on parenting, as well as a tip they learned from Michelle Duggar (link below).

Jessa on 'Say Yes to the Dress'

Jessa Seewald will soon make a debut on another one of TLC's reality shows. She will be featured on Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta, which premieres Saturday, March 21, at 8pm ET. In preparation for her wedding, Ben Seewald's sister Jessica invited Jessa and others to the bridal salon to help her choose her wedding gown, and the session was filmed for the show.

The Seewald Boys

Last week, we posted a photo of Jessa Seewald and her sweet daughter, Ivy, which means it's time to share a new snapshot of the Seewald men. Spurgeon and Henry are growing up quickly. Spurgeon just turned four, and Henry is approaching his third birthday.

Felicity and Ivy

Over the holidays Jessa and Ben Seewald visited Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo in Los Angeles. Jessa and Jinger are only 13 months apart and have always been close friends, so it's neat that their daughters are just 10 months apart. (Ivy turns one in May 2020, while Felicity turns two in July.)

Jessa and Ivy

Ivy Seewald is six months old today! We think she is a perfect mix between Duggar and Seewald, and she definitely has Jessa's eyes. For those wondering, Spurgeon Seewald and Henry Seewald are 15 months and one day apart, while Henry is two years and almost four months older than Ivy.
