Baby Seewald has made his arrival! Jessa (Duggar) Seewald and husband Ben Seewald have released the first image of their (big) bundle of joy.
As we reported last night, Jessa Duggar welcomed her first child last night, a healthy baby boy weighing in at 9 lbs. 11 oz. and 21 ½ inches long.
Jessa, 23, and Ben, 20, have just shared the first photo of the newest Duggar family member via People and theseewaldfamily (dot) com.

So what’s the little fellow’s name? The happy parents, who kept the gender under wraps this entire time, aren’t ready to announce it. Yet.
Jessa previously had fun asking fans whether it would be a boy or girl, and guessing the baby’s weight by taking a poll among relatives.
The new mom predicted she would have “a chubby little baby,” revealing that she was “the biggest out of all my siblings” at 9 lbs., 15oz.
Looks like she was right on the money. Like sister Jill Duggar earlier this year, Jessa passed her due date with a nine-pound-plus son.
It’s been some week for Jessa, who celebrated her first anniversary and due date, as well as her 23rd birthday, and now her son’s birthday!
Her son is the sixth grandchild of Jim Bob Duggar, 50, and Michelle Duggar, 49, after Jill’s son and Josh Duggar‘s four young children.
The birth of Baby Seewald will reportedly be a focal point of Jill & Jessa: Counting On, TLC’s upcoming series featuring the sisters.
Congratulations again to the new parents on the new arrival, a joyous event and a much-needed respite from months of scandals.
We wish them nothing but the best as they welcome this new life into the world – and hope they keep the photos coming ASAP!
