Ben and Jessa haven’t announced their baby’s name yet, but plan to share more details — including additional pictures — on their website later today. The Duggar family confirmed the arrival of Ben and Jessa’s baby on Thursday night. “So excited!!!!! Ben and Jessa have had their sweet new baby! A beautiful baby BOY!!!!!” the family said on Facebook. “Mom and baby are both doing great! Thanks for all your prayer! Congrats Ben and Jessa, we love you!”
Earlier on Thursday, Ben’s younger sister was the first family member to share the news with a gender-suggestive Instagram post.
Before the birth, Jessa said she was prepared to have a “chubby little baby,” considering how much she and Ben weighed as newborns.
Congrats to the family!
