Jessa, Ben and Their Brood: Making a (Diaper) Mountain out of a Mold House

[BitterApple]

Counting down to a Dullard pregnancy announcement in 3..2..1...

I'm hoping Jesus Seewald really is a boy and Jessica isn't trying to throw everyone off the scent by posting in blue writing.

[Ljohnson1987]

I hope they didn't name the baby Quincy.

[louannems]

Wow! Jessa's going to be angry that her SIL told the news and not her!

[Satchels of gold]

Boy for a family who just happenes to be on tv they certainly have gone all Hollywood. Cliff hangers, contests and now special accouncement proceeding the special announcement. Perhaps they will fire Ben and replace him with a new Ben and we can all pretend not to notice.

[Ljohnson1987]

I'd be pissed if I were Jessa. The parents should be the ones to announce the news. But Jessa and Bin probably have some magazine reveal coming.

[Sew Sumi]

I doubt it. Jessa still gets paid by TLC and People.

[dillpickles]

Wow! Jessa's going to be angry that her SIL told the news and not her!

Jessa's going to be angry that she couldn't contact People and have them tell us the news first.

[Sew Sumi]

Trust me, they know.

[MarysWetBar]

I'm actually glad they had a boy. That sickening lifestyle is horrific for females.

[NewDigs]

Do we know the weight? I might have won something!

I guessed baby boy, 8.1, named Justice or Jesus.

I know. Kid's not gonna be Jesus, in more ways than one.

[Ljohnson1987]

Justice Seewald? Ew. I hope they don't name him Jim Bob.

Maybe it's Jessa's slick way of getting the news out before PEOPLE can publish the details. Since she's probably got a gag order and Jessica Seewald doesn't. Pretty clever.

[Sew Sumi]

I still think Jessa is on People's payroll and will get a spread next week.

[MyPeopleAreNordic]

As much as I don't like these people and what they stand for, I hope that Jessa's labor and delivery went well and that she, Ben, and the baby are well. I hope they are over the moon in love with him like I was when I first saw my son. Congratulations, Ben & Jessa!

[JoanArc]

 

Thank God. What a long pregnancy!

Is this a real recipe of theirs? Because I'm about to throw up just reading that. I'd rather eat tator tot casserole every day for a week than to eat this garbage. If they're eating that I'm amazed they aren't all obese.

Puke.

[Maharincess]

Ignorant, uneducated people have a deluded view of the world that only makes sense to them and other uneducated people. My brother is like this. He hasn't opened a book in 25 years, but he knows everything! He's an idiot! After attempting to have a conversation with him you'll want to jump in front of a speeding car.

Hey! Your brother is my neighbor. That bastard knows everything about everything and he's not to proud to tell you all about how smart he is.

Any time anybody gets any kind of work done, he runs over and tells the workers the right way to do things.

If you have to cut a 9 by 13 cake into 21 or so pieces, then no one's getting obese off that.

[Sew Sumi]

That was from one of the specials, in response to people clamoring for another messipe after TTC.

http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20964930,00.htmlPEOPLE confirms that Jessa had a boy. 

[JenCarroll]

Wait till Ben finds out ice cream cakes are a thing:

 

You know, if my husband ever referred to me as a whale -- that would not be a good day in our marriage. Just sayin.'

So we think a boy's been born but have no other info? Guess we'll have to read People Magazine for Bam-Bam's first photo shoot. (I'm purposing to stop calling him Bam-Bam as soon as they tell us his actual name.) (Unless it actually is Bam-Bam.)

LOL! People was forced to jump out in front of the story before they were ready... Thanks, Auntie Jessica!

The commentors are begging Jessa to give her child a quiet life OFF camara. What? No paycheck? Edited November 6, 2015 by louannems

Have been loving "Bam-Bam" - the perfect name in this particular situation. Bam-Bam Seaworld - love it!

That's true. I didn't look at it that way, plus I'm sure the kids don't get their plates filled until Boob gets his.

Still though, that sounds disgusting.

It does sound disgusting but I would just hate to be the child they have tell that there is none left for them. Poor kid.

And you just know that there's always at least one kid that happens to on a regular basis.

[starlightlost]

Did jessica seewald just make her instagram private or delete it? I can't see the baby post anymore. Maybe jessa and bin are pissed she leaked the info. I kinda would be. The parents should be the ones to announce the birth.

[Sew Sumi]

Looks like she took it down. I guess she didn't have permission after all...

[Darknight]

Who leaked it? And can't wait til 40 days are over. Baby number 2 coming.

[Zella]

I'm still able to access it. I don't have an Instagram account, so I don't think she has changed anything. 

 

Google "Jessica Seewald instagram" and the photo is still there.

From the Duggar Family Official Facebook page 4 minutes ago:

"So excited!!!!! Ben and Jessa have had their sweet new baby!

A beautiful baby BOY!!!!! More details soon. Mom and baby are both doing great! Thanks for all your prayer!
Congrats Ben and Jessa, we love you!"

[Sew Sumi]

Yeah, I name searched on IG, and the post is still there.

[cmr2014]

I don't think that Jessica Seewald should get too much crap about this. She's a young woman who posted something to her instagram for her friends to read. First of all, that's exactly what 99% of her friends would do, and secondly, she wasn't raised to be a media-whore and parcel out every bit of her personal information to the highest bidder.

 

I'd like to make a prediction here. I have no idea how big the baby is, and won't even guess at a name, but I will predict that J'chelle will take a noticable interest in this baby -- much more so than any of the M's or Izzy. Jessa is one of her few favorites, and she's kind of creepily into Ben. I think that Jessa will have 2 full-time J'slaves and plenty of help from her mother.

Why did this sister/sister-in-law take it upon herself to announce the baby's arrival (and it's gender, too!)?  

 

That honor belongs to the parents. 

 

Does she not like the Duggar circus in general or Jessa in particular or something?  Because how could she not know that was a pretty presumptuous and inconsiderate thing to do?   

[Sew Sumi]

I'm sure this was all orchestrated by Jessa in order to have some agency and quell rumors. Now we wait for the People exclusive.

[Momtofour]

Almost 22K already. Crazy.

[Marigny]

Selah Seewald sure is a hard name to pronounce!

 

The thought of Michelle constantly saying this name with her over emphasis on her "s" makes me think of nails on a chalkboard. 

 

 

[lookeyloo]

How about Jesse Seewald. Did someone already post this?

[Patricia07]

After further thought, I've decided we should thank Jessica Seewald.  Obviously, the Duggar-Seewalds were going to withhold the birth news from us for a day or two or three.  Jessica took care of that.  : )

[Sew Sumi]

I am convinced that she had permission to pull the trigger, and that it was more calculated than an exuberant teenage auntie. She's legally an adult, and practically ready to marry in their world. Benessa see her pretty much as a peer, not a child. 

[Micks Picks]

Is Jessica the Goth looking one?

 

How about Selah Susan Sew Sumi Seewald?

[Celia Rubenstein]

I think Celia Seewald has a nice ring to it ....

[Sew Sumi]

Is Jessica the Goth looking one?

 

How about Selah Susan Sew Sumi Seewald?

Yes, and GAH! the alliteration! I love it, but I only snuck in one per paper in college and NONE in grad school. VERBOTEN!  :D

[SinInTheCamp]

Guess we'll have to read People Magazine for Bam-Bam's first photo shoot.

 

How about we "purpose" to designate just one of us to read the story and then report back? Let's not give them any more page hits than necessary for snarking.

[cmr2014]

That video was just... weird.

 

Bin does not look excited at all, in fact he looks sort of vaguely sad and a bit insecure at times like he's wanting to please but can't quite muster up the energy. I wonder if  Blessa's 'don't mess with Jess'-personality has been rearing it's head during her pregnancy. I'm speculating here, but I do tend to see her as a person who has no problems showing her displeasure with people. Either straight out or, perhaps more likely considering her upbringing, in passive-aggressive ways that poor dumb Bin isn't experienced or smart enough to deal with. Didn't his family describe him as someone who was pretty gentle and didn't like conflicts?

 

I can't help but wonder if Ben is just panicked. It's one thing to be a teenage know-it-all bloviating about how you want to have as many children as God will give you plus adopting a dozen more -- because, um, Jesus. It's a totally different ball game to be a teenage father days away from holding your newborn son in your arms knowing that you have no job, no skills, and your plans for a religious/media empire have come crashing down at your feet before you even got started.

 

He should be scared -- very scared. 

[Sew Sumi]

Too bad for them that tween/teen groupies don't really count because (the inevitable) DONATION BUTTON!!!!

[sometimesy]

So Jessa had her baby.. and it's kinda ... meh.
