Jessa Duggar Pregnancy Announcement: Pregnant With Baby Boy or Girl? [Poll]

Jessa Duggar and her husband, Ben Seewald, happily announced that they are expecting their first baby. The star of "19 Kids and Counting" shared the news in a video they released to the press, but there's even more good news from this young couple!

In revealing that they were on the family way, Duggar, 22, said that the baby's due date will likely fall on the first of November - the date of their wedding anniversary. Her husband, Ben, 19, said that they are "looking forward to being parents," as published in People Magazine.

Duggar added via US Magazine that she suspects they will be having a baby boy based on the way her stomach hunched. However, Ben had a different thought as he shared that they may soon become parents of twins. After all, this runs in the family. Duggar has two sets of twin siblings in her family, so a multiple birth could happen.

The couple are not eager to find out the sex of their coming baby just yet as they are content in simply enjoying the whole process of being pregnant. "Well, we're twelve weeks along so far and the pregnancy's going great, I'm feeling good, looking forward to the second trimester, I hear now the morning sickness and all that things are going great," she said in the same US Magazine report.

They learned of the baby by taking a pregnancy test last Sunday before going to church, according to the People report. The couple are already excited about picking baby names. "It is one of those things that is so special, picking a name for a baby," said Duggar.

The whole pregnancy announcement will be shared in the reality star's TV show on TLC this week, so that the fans can also share in their joy. In previous episodes, it was revealed that Jessa and Ben had plans of adopting a baby and even as they have learned of the pregnancy, the couple said that nothing changed about this.

"Kids are so important. We hope to adopt a lot of kids. If God blesses us with biological kids of our own, it's not going to quench our desire to adopt," said Ben via E! Online.

Born to parents Jim Bob, 49, and Michelle, 48, Jessa is the third daughter in the family. Meanwhile, Ben is from a family of seven children and he is the oldest brother.
