Jessa Duggar Seewald Celebrates 23rd Birthday; Expectant Mom Fears Big Baby, Painful Delivery [Photos]

The "19 Kids and Counting" star Jessa Duggar-Seewald has many things to celebrate this month. Just recently, she celebrated her first wedding anniversary with husband Ben Seewald. Last Wednesday, the expectant mom turned 23 years old and she's now officially a mom!

There is no doubt that Jessa is so blessed this month, November will always be a special month to her.  International Business Times reported on Thursday that her parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar greeted her online.

"This girl has always brought life to our house and everywhere she goes. We are so thankful for the young lady she has become," they wrote to the Duggar family's official Facebook fan page. "We love the happiness she has found with Ben and their devotion to the Lord. We are especially excited to meet a new grandbaby soon!!! Jessa will certainly be a wonderful mom. Today might be a good day to have that sweet new one! We love you, Jessa. Happy birthday."

The said post revealed that Anna, Jana and Jinger took Jessa and Ben out for a birthday lunch. They enjoyed the celebration along with Meridith and Jordyn.

However, Jessa remains on baby watch despite the celebration because the new Duggar kid might be out anytime. Inquisitr reported that the new mom was scared of delivering a "gigantic" baby and she's also troubled about the painful home birth.

Ben weighed eight pounds, 15 ounces when he was born. On the other hand, Jessa confirmed that she was the largest baby in the entire "19 Kids and Counting" clan, which triggers her concern on delivering a huge baby.

However, it seems that Jessa went through it pretty well. A fresh report from Hollywood Life revealed that the newest member of the "19 Kids and Counting" family has finally arrived and Jessa is now officially a mom. The reality star was very excited that she posted a photo on her Instagram bearing the words, "I'm an auntie!" A rep confirmed to People that the couple welcomed a baby boy Thursday evening.

Parent Herald previously reported that Jessa was due to deliver her firstborn on Sunday and last Saturday she ate a whole pineapple to induce labor. However, the trick did not work for her. She even took a selfie and captioned it with, "Haha! So has anyone else tried the "eating an entire fresh pineapple" thing for helping to bring on labor? Apparently it doesn't work for everyone, 'cause I ate the whole thing yesterday... and still no signs of labor!"

Well, the baby has finally arrived! Congratulations to the new parents, Jessa and Ben.
