  • Josh Duggar: Parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar Allude to “Sexual Sins” in Birthday Message to Disgraced “19 Kids and Counting” Star

    Josh Duggar turned 28 on Thursday, and parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar posted a birthday message to the disgraced 19 Kids and Counting star. The message alluded to the “sexual sins” he committed that led to the cancellation of the family’s reality show and nearly cost him his marriage.

    Taking to social media, the Duggar parents posted their wishes to Josh Duggar on their Facebook page.

    Today is our son Josh’s birthday. The heartache of the past year cannot surpass the joy 28 years ago on this day when we…

    Posted by Duggar Family Official on Thursday, March 3, 2016

    It was back in August when Josh Duggar checked into a Christian rehab facility in Illinois–Reformers Unanimous–where he remains today. While there, the eldest of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s 19 children is receiving therapy for his sexual sins. Just before entering the facility, Josh Duggar was outed in the Ashley Madison cheater’s website hack. He then admitted to cheating on wife Anna Duggar, and to having a penchant for pornography.

    Months earlier it was determined Josh Duggar had sexually molested several underage girls while he was a teenager. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar no doubt played a big role in sweeping those incidents under the rug. Jill Duggar Dillard and Jessa Duggar Seewald–two of Josh’s sisters–acknowledged they were molested by their brother.

    It’s uncertain what–if anything–Josh Duggar did on Thursday to celebrate his 28th birthday, but there are many people who believe he should stay right where he is and never re-enter society.

    Even though Josh Duggar cost the family their 19 Kids and Counting reality show, TLC has announced an upcoming season of a new Duggar reality show. Jill and Jessa: Counting On stars Jill and Jessa Duggar, along with siblings Jinger, Joy Anna, and Jana Duggar, and sister-in-law Anna Duggar. Josh Duggar and his parents are conspicuously absent from the new show.

    Does it surprise you that Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar wish Josh Duggar a happy birthday on social media, rather than privately noting their son’s big day? It’s no doubt part of their belief in forgiveness, no matter the severity of the crime.

  • Josh Duggar Won’t Appear in New Episodes of TLC’s “Jill and Jessa: Counting On”

    Josh Duggar will be conspicuously absent from new episodes of TLC’s Jill and Jessa: Counting On, when it returns on March 15. Even though Josh’s wife, Anna Duggar, will join Jill Duggar Dillard, Jessa Duggar Seewald, and John David, Josiah, Joseph, Joy Anna, Jinger, and Jana Duggar in the new episodes the network has ordered, Josh Duggar will only be alluded to in comments about how much the Duggar family suffered in 2015.

    The Duggar family starred in TLC’s hit show 19 Kids and Counting for several years before the media caught wind last spring about Josh Duggar having sexually molested five underage girls when he was a teenager. Two of those girls were sisters Jill and Jessa Duggar. Although it has never been confirmed, it is expected that Jana and Jinger Duggar were victimized by Josh Duggar, too. The fifth victim was a non-family member.

    Because of the Josh Duggar molestations, as well as Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s alleged attempts to keep the incidents swept under the proverbial rug, TLC cancelled 19 Kids and Counting.

    This past summer, Josh Duggar was outed in the Ashley Madison cheater’s website hack, after which he admitted he cheated on wife Anna Duggar with a former porn star. He also admitted to having an addiction to pornography.

    While it didn’t seem likely after that news hit the media, TLC wanted Jill Duggar Dillard and Jessa Duggar Seewald back. They drew the most fans during the last year or two that 19 Kids and Counting aired. The network created Jill and Jessa: Counting On, originally airing three special episodes in December. Now it seems Jill and Jessa: Counting On is coming back, with several new episodes on tap.

    The show will pick up approximately three months after Jessa Duggar and husband Ben Seewald welcomed baby boy Spurgeon into their world. It will also chronicle some of Jill Duggar and hubby Derick Dillard’s time in El Salvador as Christian missionaries, along with their little boy, Israel.

    It’s interesting to note, that in addition to Josh Duggar’s absence, fans aren’t likely to see Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar on Jill and Jessa: Counting On. Even some of the family’s fans can’t condone their actions, or lack thereof.

    Will you be tuning in to see Jill Duggar Dillard, Jessa Duggar Seewald, Anna Duggar, and more of the former 19 Kids and Counting family when Jill and Jessa: Counting On returns to TLC?

  • Jessa Seewald, Jill Dillard: Duggar Sisters Back on TLC in “Jill & Jessa: Counting On”

    Jessa Seewald and Jill Dillard are just two members of the Duggar family from 19 Kids and Counting fame who appeared in the first of a three-part TLC special on Sunday evening. Jill & Jessa: Counting On featured the Duggar sisters and various members of the devout Christian family in the aftermath of Josh Duggar’s sexual scandals.

    “You always think in the beginning of the year what the year will hold and it hasn’t been what we thought,” Jill Duggar Dillard, 24, said early on in the hour-and-a-half long show, which began with scenes of her and Jessa Duggar Seewald tending to their own families.

    The show then ran through Jill and husband Derick Dillard’s–along with baby Israel’s–move to South America, as well as Jessa and Ben Seewald’s preparation for the birth of their son (who was born in November).

    After that, the Josh Duggar scandals came into focus–to a degree, anyway.

    “We had moved on from there,” Jill said of Josh Duggar’s sexual molestation scandal. “To be thrown under the bus was really really hard.”

    “You don’t want that rubbed in your face all the time, for everyone else to see. That wasn’t right whoever released that. It shouldn’t have happened,” Jill, who was one of Josh’s victims, added.

    Jessa Seewald responded during her own segment on the show.

    “There’s an expectation that this family doesn’t have any problems,” she said. “People go digging up old bones. It was so frustrating.”

    “There was a period of time in our family where Josh was not to be trusted,” Jessa added of Josh Duggar’s first scandal. Once the family sought counseling, “That relationship was restored between all of us siblings and our parents.”

    “Knowing now what Joshua was hiding…it wasn’t right for him to let us speak our words without having the full knowledge of what he was hiding,” Jill Duggar Dillard, thinking back to when she and Jessa supported their brother after word of the first scandal hit the media.

    “We were devastated. Over the years Josh had worked really hard to repair our trust in him,” Jessa Seewald said.

    Later on in the show, additional 19 Kids and Counting siblings shared their thoughts on Josh Duggar and his scandals.

    “It’s probably the toughest time in our life by far,” Jinger Duggar said through tears.

    Second eldest brother John-David Duggard shared that “One of the toughest things I had to tell my older brother was, I don’t want to be like you anymore.”

    There were some happy moments in Jill & Jessa: Counting On, too. Some of the Duggar sisters went shopping for baby clothes for Jessa and Ben’s then-not-born yet baby. A producer asked Jessa Seewald if the year’s events (meaning, of course, the Josh Duggar scandals) had detracted from the joy of her pregnancy.

    “Of course not,” she said.

    “I think that there is hope for our family. There’s going to be a new normal,” Joy Duggar said.

    Did you catch Jill Duggar Dillard and Jessa Duggar Seewald–as well as some of their family members–on Jill & Jessa: Moving On Sunday night?

    Might the show become a spinoff of 19 Kids and Counting, or has the draw for the Duggar family shriveled up and died?

  • Josh Duggar: Brothers John-David, Joseph Duggar No Longer Admire Him

    Josh Duggar: Brothers John-David, Joseph Duggar No Longer Admire Him

    Josh Duggar may be in for some big-time disappointment when he finally leaves the rehab center where he’s been getting therapy for his “sexual sins.” In a clip for Sunday’s premiere episode of Jill & Jessa: Counting On, two of his brothers make it unequivocally clear they no longer look up to him.

    “You look at your brother and you want to think the best about him. I always wanted to be like him. But one of the toughest things I ever had to tell my older brother was, ‘I don’t want to be like you anymore,’” John-David Duggar, 25, says, adding that he feels it’s now his job to be the new role model for the former 19 Kids and Counting family as the second eldest Duggar brother.

    “It’s a big load. It’s a big weight upon me now,” he adds. “I’ve got a whole bunch of younger siblings looking up to me, and I’ve got to be an example to them. Because whatever I am, that’s what they want to be. I know that’s what it was for me and Josh.”

    John-David also shares that just as “everything started to settle down” from Josh’s first scandal–in which he admitted in May to molesting five minor girls, including four of his sisters, when he was a teenager–the family “got word of a second thing that we had no clue about.”

    “That was a little more of a shock probably than the first stuff coming out,” he says about learning Josh Duggar had cheated on his wife, Anna Duggar, during the Ashley Madison hack. He also admitted to a pornography addiction in August.

    “Whenever somebody you respect the most is willing to get up and proclaim what we believe as Christians, about being true to your wife, you’d never expect that person to be the one that’s involved in it,” John-David Duggar says. “It broke my heart.”

    “Even after the first thing that came out when he was younger, I never had quite as close of a relationship as I did whenever I was really young,” Joseph Duggar, 20, says of Josh Duggar reveals. “But over time, it’s built back up. But then whenever this next situation came up, it blew my mind. I had no idea.”

    Josh Duggar and his sex scandals are the reason behind TLC canceling 19 Kids and Counting. His actions have had a very negative impact on his entire family.

    Will you tune in on Sunday night to watch Jill & Jessa: Counting On, to see even more of how the Duggar family is recovering after Josh Duggar’s sex scandals? The show airs on TLC at 8 p.m. ET.

  • Anna Duggar: Will She Be Forced to Appear on “Jill & Jessa: Counting On” to Support Children in Aftermath of Josh Duggar Sex Scandals?

    Anna Duggar may be forced to appear on Jill & Jessa: Counting On–especially if it becomes a 19 Kids and Counting spinoff–as a means of supporting her children in the aftermath of Josh Duggar’s sex scandals.

    The Christian Post reports that many fans who saw Anna on the first episode of Jill & Jessa: Counting On, noted how frail she appears. It’s been a hellish summer and fall for the mom of four, who has been forced to raise her four children as a single mom since Josh Duggar entered a faith based rehab this summer for his “sexual sins.”

    Jim Bob Duggar reportedly offered Anna Duggar a home to stay in since she and Josh Duggar sold their Arkansas home shortly after his second sex scandal made news this summer. She allegedly didn’t accept the offer and is believed to be staying at the Duggar family home for now.

    To make matters worse, Josh Duggar was recently named in a lawsuit by a porn star–Danica Dillon–with whom he cheated on Anna Duggar while she was pregnant with their fourth child, daughter Meredith Grace.

    Anna Duggar has way more on her plate than any young mom should have to handle. Members of her family–who are devout Christians, too, and don’t believe in divorce–have urged her to divorce Josh Duggar.

    The next episode of Jill & Jessa: Counting On airs on TLC on December 13th. It will be interesting to see if fans learn more about Anna Duggar’s situation–and her state of mind–at that time.

    Do you think Anna Duggar is appearing on the new reality show as a means of supporting her children, or is she doing so at the urging of in-laws Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar?

  • Josh Duggar Cheating Scandal Discussed on New TLC Show About Duggar Family, “Jill & Jessa: Counting On”

    Josh Duggar cost the 19 Kids and Counting family their reality show. Following the show’s cancellation, he was outed during the Ashley Madison website hack, and admitted shortly thereafter to cheating on wife Anna Duggar and having an addiction to pornography.

    On Sunday night at 8 p.m. on TLC, Anna Duggar, Jill Duggar Dillard, and Jessa Duggar Seewald will talk about Josh Duggar and the pain he has caused their entire family. TLC is airing a three-part special called Jill & Jessa: Counting On. Many hope the ratings might warrant more episodes of the show–maybe even a spinoff of 19 Kids and Counting.

    “It was heartbreaking to hear, what had happened,” Anna Duggar says in a promo for tonight’s show.

    “I cried a lot of tears,” Jill Duggar Dillard admits. “My first thoughts were for Anna.”

    “Someone who you love, how could this happen?” Jessa Duggar Seewald asks.

    “We’re getting through,” Jessa says, with Jill adding, “We will come out of this fire.”

    Tonight’s episode of Jill & Jessa: Counting On will mark the first time Anna Duggar has spoken out about the Josh Duggar scandal.

    In September, cousin Amy Duggar King commented on Anna Duggar, saying at the time she was “strong.”

    “There is a reason God gives you family. It’s for moments like this,” Amy said. “We encourage her as much as we can.”

    Sources close to the Duggar family claim Josh Duggar isn’t truly remorseful over his infidelity.

    “He is not the person everyone thought they knew,” the source said. “Anna didn’t check up on Josh because she trusted him. When she found out about the cheating, she just cried.”

    Will you tune in to Jill & Jessa: Counting On tonight to hear what members of the Duggar family have to say about Josh Duggar?

    It’s highly unlikely Josh Duggar will ever appear on the TLC show, as advertisers pulled away from 19 Kids and Counting because of his actions.

  • Anna Duggar Talks Josh Duggar Cheating Scandal in New “Jill & Jessa: Counting On” Promo

    Anna Duggar will appear in TLC’s upcoming three-part special, Jill & Jessa: Counting On. This is the short series that many hope will become the 19 Kids and Counting spinoff. Her appearance will mark the first time Anna Duggar has broken her silence over the Josh Duggar cheating scandal.

    As most everyone knows, Josh Duggar is the proverbial thorn in the side of the entire Duggar family. He cost them their 19 Kids and Counting reality show when word about him sexually molesting underage girls–some his own sisters–made news several months ago. During this summer’s Ashley Madison website hack, it was discovered that Josh Duggar had two accounts on the cheater’s site. Shortly thereafter he admitted to cheating on wife Anna Duggar, as well as to an addiction to pornography.

    Over the summer, Anna Duggar packed up her four children–the fourth of whom she was expecting when Josh Duggar cheated on her–and went to Florida to stay with her family. Members of her family urged her to divorce Josh Duggar, but that clearly didn’t happen.

    Late in the summer a rumor surfaced that Jim Bob Duggar had bribed Anna with a very sizable home in Arkansas–near the Duggar family compound–if she put divorcing Josh Duggar out of her head. No one knows for sure if she accepted the supposed bribe, but Anna Duggar is very clearly in Arkansas and will soon appear on Jill Duggar Dillard and Jessa Duggar Seewald’s new show.

    “It was heartbreaking to hear, what had happened,” a very emotional Anna Duggar tells TLC cameras in a preview of Jill & Jessa: Counting On.

    Jill Duggar Dillard offers her bit in the promo as well.

    “I cried a lot of tears,” she admits. “My first thoughts were for Anna.”

    “Someone who you love, how could this happen?” Jessa Duggar Seewald, who just welcomed her first baby–a boy named Spurgeon–asks.

    Josh entered a faith-based rehab called Reformers Unanimous in Rockford, Illinois, in late August. Earlier this month, a plane carrying his father, Jim Bob Duggar, one of his sons and two unidentified passengers was spotted at an airport near the treatment center, leading some to speculate that Josh is headed to the Duggar family home in Springdale, Arkansas, to spend Thanksgiving.

    Are you surprised to learn Anna Duggar is appearing in Jill & Jessa: Counting On? Do you expect she will shed any real insight into Josh Duggar’s actions or will it all be covered over with well-rehearsed fluff?

    Will you tune in to what might possibly become the 19 Kids and Counting spinoff?

    The first episode of Jill & Jessa: Counting On airs Sunday evening, November 22 at 8 p.m. ET on TLC.

  • Jessa Seewald Rushed to Hospital Following Home Birth, Mom and Baby Doing Fine

    Jessa Seewald was reportedly rushed to the hospital following a home birth on Thursday night. Sources tell Entertainment Tonight that Jessa Seewald experienced heavy bleeding following the delivery of her baby boy, and mom Michelle Duggar called 911.

    Despite the minor complication, both mom and Baby Seewald are doing just fine.

    Ben Seewald couldn’t wait to share a photo of their little family on Friday. In addition to posting it on the website he shares with Jessa, he also posted it on the Facebook site for Jessa Seewald and Jill Dillard’s upcoming TLC show, Jill & Jessa: Counting On.

    <3 this sweet family of three! #BabySeewald MORE DETAILS: http://ow.ly/Um42I

    Posted by Jill & Jessa: Counting On on Friday, November 6, 2015

    Baby Seewald weighed in at a very healthy nine pounds and 11 ounces. Jessa Seewald had mentioned just days ahead of his birth that she expected their baby would be big. She weighed nine pounds and 15 ounces at birth.

    “I’d say it’s very possible we could have a chubby little baby!” she joked last week.

    Fans are no doubt excited to learn what Ben and Jessa Seewald name their bundle of joy. Will they choose a biblical name like Derick and Jill Dillard? They named their baby boy Isaiah.

    The entire Duggar family is no doubt thrilled that Baby Seewald has joined the former 19 Kids and Counting gang, and they’re surely grateful that despite the scare following the birth, that both the baby and Jessa Seewald are okay.

  • Jill Duggar Shares Sexy Shot of Her With Hubby Derick, Starts All-Out Instagram Feud

    Jill Duggar shared an unusually sexy photo of her with hubby Derick Dillard on Instagram. Do you suppose she had any idea it would start a social media feud of sorts?

    Granted, a photo showing two people kissing is considered risque by 19 Kids and Counting standards, but there truly wasn’t anything offensive about the photo.

    “#soinlove @derickdillard,” Jill Duggar Dillard captioned the shot.

    A photo posted by Jill Dillard (@jillmdillard) on

    Social media trolls couldn’t leave well enough alone, however. They started fighting amongst themselves in the comments section of Jill Duggar’s Instagram post.

    “Awwww…..Josh take the pic?” one commenter rudely asked.

    “that is very rude what happened is not her fault if you can be so kind to say you regret your post,” another commented on the question.

    The comments went back and forth about Josh Duggar, and soon digressed into whether or not Jill Duggar is qualified as a midwife. They wound up with Christians professing their faith and sticking up for the Duggar family.

    Jill’s post makes it very clear there are pro-Duggar and anti-Duggar folks just dying to share their two cents worth via social media.

    Jill Duggar Dillard and sister Jessa Duggar Seewald will soon be back on TLC. They will star in three TLC specials, titled Jill & Jessa: Counting On. Rumor has it, if the viewership is strong, this could become the 19 Kids and Counting spinoff.

    Surely those who commented on Jill Duggar’s Instagram post will have plenty to say about that, too.

    Whether you do or don’t support the former 19 Kids and Counting family, one thing is for sure. Each of them has to have very thick skin.

    What’s your take on Jill’s photo of her and hubby Derick kissing?

    Who can find fault with love?

  • Jessa Seewald: The Countdown to Baby “Quincy” is On as Former “19 Kids and Counting” Star Prepares to Give Birth

    Jessa Seewald is counting down the last few days until she and hubby Ben Seewald welcome baby “Quincy” into their lives. That isn’t the baby’s actual name, however. The former 19 Kids and Counting couple jokingly referred to their unborn baby as “Q” for a while. From that it evolved into Quincy.”

    November 1st is Jessa Duggar Seewald’s due date, and that is also the day she and Ben will celebrate their one-year wedding anniversary. Just three days after that, Jessa Duggar turns 23. The Duggar family will soon have lots to celebrate.

    That’s no doubt a welcome change, as the Duggars have endured months of turmoil. Their 19 Kids and Counting show was cancelled by TLC after the media learned eldest son Josh Duggar had sexually molested five underage girls when he was a teen. Four of the girls he molested are Duggar siblings. Jill Duggar Dillard and Jessa Seewald admit they are among his victims. Due to their ages, it is expected that Jana Duggar and Jinger Duggar were sexually molested by Josh Duggar, too. One unrelated girl–a babysitter in the 19 Kids and Counting household–was also victimized.

    Not long after 19 Kids and Counting was cancelled, Josh Duggar drove a nail in his coffin yet again, with the discovery of his two Ashley Madison accounts. He was outed when the cheater’s website was hacked this summer. Shortly thereafter he admitted to having cheated on wife Anna Duggar, and to having an addiction to pornography.

    With Josh Duggar tucked away in rehab (for his sexual sins) and Anna Duggar staying with her parents in Florida, things are relatively peaceful for the Duggar clan right now. TLC cameras have returned–to the home of Ben and Jessa Seewald–to film three upcoming specials. Jill & Jessa: Counting On will concentrate on the two Duggar sisters and their families. Their cameras were rolling last weekend for Jessa Seewald’s baby shower. Rumor has it the show could become a 19 Kids and Counting spinoff if all goes well with these three specials. The new show has likely provided some much-needed joy for the Duggar family.

    Jessa Seewald only has six days to go until her baby is due. Since Jill Duggar Dillard just returned to Central America to serve as a missionary, it doesn’t seem she will be home for the baby’s arrival. Some had wondered if she might deliver Jessa Seewald’s baby, since she is a midwife, but certainly other plans are in place.

    Are you excited to learn what Ben and Jessa Seewald name their baby, and whether they have a boy or a girl?

  • Josh Duggar: Sisters Break Down Over His Sex Scandals in New Show Promo

    Josh Duggar is still the source of much anguish in the former 19 Kids and Counting family. In a promo for an upcoming three-part TLC special featuring sisters Jill Duggar Dillard and Jessa Duggar Seewald, some of that pain is very plain to see.

    Jill & Jessa: Counting On is set to air in December, and depending on ratings, could in fact become a 19 Kids and Counting spinoff. In the promo clip, Jill and Jessa break down in tears, and while they don’t refer to Josh Duggar by name, it’s clear he is the source of their pain.

    Josh Duggar sexually molested five underage girls when he was a teen. Two of those girls are his sisters, Jill and Jessa. Given their ages at the time, most suspect Jana Duggar and Jinger Duggar were molested at the hands of Josh Duggar, too, as well as a non-related young woman.

    Josh Duggar’s actions–as well as the way 19 Kids and Counting parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar handled the situation–are the reason TLC cancelled the family’s reality show.

    Yet another sex scandal rocked the Duggar family this summer. Josh Duggar was outed following the hacking of the cheater’s website, Ashley Madison. It was determined that Josh Duggar had two accounts. He admitted shortly thereafter–and likely only because he’d been caught–to having an addiction to pornography and to cheating on wife Anna Duggar.

    Anna Duggar has since packed up the couple’s four children–the youngest of whom she was pregnant with when Josh cheated on her–and moved to Florida where she is staying with her parents. Some sources say she is considering divorcing Josh Duggar.

    Meanwhile, Josh Duggar is in Illinois, at a faith based rehab called Reformers Unanimous, where he is getting help for his “sexual sins.”

    Do you think too much water has flowed underneath that proverbial Duggar bridge for TLC to create a 19 Kids and Counting spinoff from Jill & Jessa: Counting On? Or does the Duggar family have plenty of support despite Josh Duggar’s actions–enough support to provide plenty of viewers for a new Duggar TV show?

  • Jessa Seewald: Former “19 Kids and Counting” Star Shares Maternity Photo Shoot Via Social Media, Baby “Quincy” Arriving Soon

    Jessa Seewald (nee Duggar) posed for a maternity photo shoot in recent days, and posted a few of those photos to share with her fans via social media.

    Ben and Jessa Seewald are expecting their first baby on November 1st, and are excited and ready as any new parents for the impending arrival.

    Last weekend, Jessa and Ben were lauded at a baby shower. Several members of the 19 Kids and Counting family were in attendance, along with many friends, and the TLC cameras. Jessa Seewald’s baby shower will be featured on one of the upcoming episodes of TLC’s Jill & Jessa: Counting On, set to air in December.

    “Ahh! Our maternity photos from @evangelinerenee are in! ? Check them out on our website: www.TheSeewaldFamily.com/MaternityPhotos (or click the link in my bio!)” Jessa Seewald captioned the following Instagram post.

    When Jill Duggar Dillard and hubby Derick welcomed son Israel into the world, TLC cameras were on hand. Israel’s birth was featured as a 19 Kids and Counting special. It’s uncertain if TLC cameras will be rolling when Jessa Seewald welcomes baby “Quincy” into the world (that’s what Jessa and Ben jokingly call their unborn baby), but since they were there at the shower, it seems like there’s a good chance they’ll be there for the birth as well.

    Are you excited about Jessa Duggar Seewald and Jill Duggar Dillard’s return to TLC in Jill & Jessa: Counting On?

    Do you think Jessa Seewald’s baby will arrive on his or her due date of November 1st? That’s the same day Ben and Jessa will celebrate their first wedding anniversary and just three days before Jessa’s 23rd birthday.

    The former 19 Kids and Counting family have lots of celebrations in the very near future.

  • Jessa Seewald Shares New Ultrasound Pic Just Days Before Baby “Quincy” is Due

    Jessa Seewald, nee Duggar, shared a new ultrasound picture of her unborn baby with her fans just days ahead of her due date. Due to give birth to baby Quincy–what she and hubby Ben Seewald are jokingly calling their baby–on November 1st, that day is also Ben and Jessa Seewald’s first wedding anniversary and falls just three days before Jessa Seewald’s 23rd birthday. The former 19 Kids and Counting family will have plenty to celebrate in a matter of days.

    “Sitting here dreaming about the moment when we will meet our little one face-to-face… and wondering if our baby will carry more Seewald or Duggar characteristics and features! I’m thinking #BabySeewald will be a sweet mix of the two of us! ❤️ What do you think? Just 10 more days till baby’s due date!” Jessa Seewald captioned the ultrasound pic, beside which she posted her own baby picture as well as Ben’s.

    A photo posted by Jessa Seewald (@jessaseewald) on

    Ben and Jessa Seewald reportedly know the sex of their unborn baby, but haven’t shared that little tidbit of info with anyone yet.

    Jessa Duggar Seewald and sister Jill Duggar Dillard have decided to give the limelight yet another try in the wake of the cancellation of 19 Kids and Counting because of brother Josh Duggar’s actions. Jill & Jessa: Counting On will air on TLC in December in three episodes, and could wind up becoming the 19 Kids and Counting spinoff if all goes well.

    “Even with all the difficulties that my family has walked through, there’s still a lot of exciting milestones ahead,” Jessa Seewald says promised in a short clip that previews the upcoming show. “Ben and I are really excited to welcome our first little one into the world very soon.”

    Jessa Seewald will have given birth by the time the first episode of Jill & Jessa: Counting On airs. Fans will get to see her celebrate her baby shower on one of the episodes, along with Jill Duggar Dillard, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, and other members of the former 19 Kids and Counting family.

  • Jessa Duggar Enjoys Baby Shower Fun as TLC Cameras Roll, Shares 3-D Ultrasound Pick of Baby “Quincy”

    Jessa Duggar Seewald was lauded at a co-ed fall-themed baby shower in recent days, surrounded by many of the 19 Kids and Counting family members and lots of dear friends. Also on the invite list was TLC. They had their cameras rolling for an upcoming episode of the three-episode special that fans (and like the Duggar family, too) hope will become the 19 Kids and Counting spinoff. Jill & Jessa: Counting On will air in December.

    Due on November 1st, if Jessa Duggar’s baby arrives on her due date, she and hubby Ben Seewald will have a double celebration. November 1st is their first wedding anniversary.

    Recent photos indicate Jessa will soon give birth.

    “She’s looking the part,” a source tells People magazine of Jessa Duggar Seewald. “She’s adorable. She didn’t gain any weight in her face at all. She’s absolutely flawless!”

    Like sister Jill Duggar Dillard, Jessa Duggar has shared pregnancy progression photos every few weeks to keep friend and fans apprised of the big countdown.

    Jessa Duggar’s most recent post is a 3-D ultrasound of the baby they refer to as “Quincy.” In the post, she compares the baby’s features with her baby picture and one of Ben’s, too.

    “Sitting here dreaming about the moment when we will meet our little one face-to-face… and wondering if our baby will carry more Seewald or Duggar characteristics and features! I’m thinking #BabySeewald will be a sweet mix of the two of us! ❤️ What do you think? Just 10 more days till baby’s due date!” Jessa captioned the post.

    Jessa Duggar no doubt received many wonderful gifts for her baby at her shower. Since it was co-ed, dad Jim Bob Duggar, brother-in-law Derick Dillard, and of course hubby Ben Seewald were all on hand to join in the fun. Noticeably absent, however, were Josh and Anna Duggar. Josh is in a rehab facility in Illinois, receiving faith-based counseling for his “sexual sins.” Jessa Duggar was one of the siblings Josh Duggar sexually molested when he was a teen. Jessa has also been the most vocal about Josh’s actions. The pain Jessa and Jill Duggar experienced at the hands of Josh through that sex scandal and a more recent one, when he was discovered to have two Ashley Madison accounts on the cheater’s website, and admitted to cheating on Anna Duggar, comes to light in a clip of the upcoming TLC show.

    Even though Jessa Duggar will have given birth by then, fans are no doubt looking forward to seeing her feted at her baby shower, surrounded by members of the 19 Kids and Counting family.

    The countdown is certainly on for Jessa Duggar Seewald. She has just over a week to go before her due date. Do you think Jill Duggar–who is a midwife–will be on hand for Jessa’s labor and delivery?

    Do you predict a baby boy or a girl for Jessa and Ben?
