With Jessa Duggar-Seewald now a couple of days past her due date, fans of the Duggar family are looking forward to the former ‘19 Kids and Counting’ star having her baby any time soon. Although the mother-to-be has not yet given an update about her pregnancy since Tuesday, her parents, Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar, shared some news about their daughter’s pregnancy.
While wishing their 23-year-old daughter a happy birthday through an online post, Michelle and Jim Bob revealed that Jessa is yet to give birth.
“We are especially excited to meet our new grandbaby soon!!!” the Duggar folks posted on their family’s official Facebook fan page. “Jessa will certainly be a wonderful mom.”
They also added that Jessa's birthday would have been a “good day to have that sweet new one.”
Meanwhile, Jessa’s husband Ben also revealed that his partner is yet to deliver their little one as he shared a video birthday message.
“We should have baby Seewald here any day,” he said.
Jessa has made attempts to guess the weight of the baby and previously shared a screenshot of a text conversation with her mother-in-law as they discussed the baby's size.
In the conversation, Jessa told her mother-in-law that she weighed 9 lbs. 15 oz. when she was born; she also asked how much her husband weighed during his birth.
“.. Everyone is trying to guess how much they think #BabySeewald might weigh at birth ... I was the biggest out of all my siblings, weighing 9llb 15oz-and ben weighed 8lbs 150z. Haha! I'd say it's very possible we could have a chubby little baby," Jessa wrote as caption for the screenshot.
Jessa is also reportedly anxious owing to the possibility that her sister Jill will not be when she gives birth any day now. Jill is a midwife in training and is in Central America with her husband, Derick Dillard, and their baby son, Israel, for their mission work.
Meanwhile, as stated in Jim Bob and Michelle's update, Jessa celebrated her birthday on Wednesday with her 20-year-old husband along with several female family members. The reality star’s sisters Jana, Jinger and Jordyn, niece Meredith as well as sister-in-law Anna Duggar went out with her for lunch.
“This girl has always brought life to our house and everywhere she goes,” Michelle and Jim Bob further wrote about Jessa. “We are so thankful for the young lady she has become.”
Jessa’s due date had been on Nov. 1, which was also her one-year wedding anniversary with Ben. Although the couple has already learned about their baby’s gender, they have decided to keep mum about it and share the details to their family members and fans until the little one’s arrival.
Fans of the Duggar family can still catch up with the Seewalds on TLC’s upcoming three-part special titled ‘Jill & Jessa: Counting On,’ which is set for a premiere in December.
