Jessa Duggar and her husband Ben Seewald welcomed their first child, Spurgeon Elliott Seewald, back in November of last year. It was actually a chaotic time in the Duggar family. Jessa was SO MAD that she didn’t get tons of free stuff during her pregnancy, because Josh Duggar’s rampant sketchiness seemingly ruined it for everyone. Then when it came to the birth, Jessa had complications (she was attempting a home birth) and she had to be rushed to the hospital. But all’s well now. Because nine months after giving birth to her first kid, Jessa is knocked up again.
There’s another baby on the way for Jessa (Duggar) Seewald and her husband, Ben.
“We are overjoyed to announce that Spurgeon has a new title in life as ‘big brother!’ ” the couple said in an exclusive statement to PEOPLE. “We are so thankful that God is adding to our family.”
Due in February, the exciting pregnancy news comes as a surprise since the couple (who are already parents to 9-month-old son Spurgeon) have dreamed of adopting since even before their November 2014 wedding. Now with back-to-back babies, the Counting On star, 23, and her husband, 21, can’t wait to become parents for the second time.
They added in their statement that “2017 is shaping up to be a wonderful year already, and we know Spurgeon will do a great job in his new role. Having Spurgeon has been such a wonderful blessing, and we cannot wait to see the face of this sweet new baby (or babies!).”

Yes, that was my first thought too: “I thought they were going to adopt?” While I don’t know the rules/laws of adoptions in every state, I would imagine it would be pretty difficult for a 21-year-old and a 23-year-old with barely any income or education to adopt a child. Their income comes from TLC… and from “donations” and “freebies.” Would most states allow them to adopt? Eh. It doesn’t matter at this point. Jessa is living her dream of being a baby-factory.
