Jessa Duggar Stuns Fans: My Kids Are Growing Up SO Fast!

It seems not a month goes by that without some news of another Duggar birth or pregnancy. At this point, Jim Bob and Michelle have so many grandkids it can be a struggle to keep them all straight. Fortunately, it doesn’t seem as though the kids are wanting for attention. In addition to the love of their parents, the new generation of Duggars enjoys the affection of an army of aunts and uncles, as well as millions of fans all over the world. So when a milestone is reached, the occasion is celebrated not only by the family but by the entirety of Duggar Nation. And lately, there’s been so much cause for celebration coming from the Seewald household that it’s been difficult to keep up with it all. Jessa Duggar and her husband, Ben Seewald, are parents to 2-year-old Spurgeon and 11-month-old Henry . Needless to say, it’s a hectic home, and quite understandably, Jessa’s house is often a mess . By while the mother of two has been applauded for sharing candid photos of cluttered abode, it’s the achievements of her two boys that really win fans’ hearts: This week saw a handful of memorable moments, as Henry (above) stood on his own for the first time. Jessa shared photos from the big day and noted that it took place shortly after Spurgeon turned two: “We had a fun time celebrating Spurgeon’s birthday yesterday. We’re so grateful to God for this sweet little boy,” Jessa wrote on Instagram. “It has been such a joy to watch him grow and learn this past year. Can’t believe he’s already 2 years old!” Of course, they call ’em the terrible twos for a reason, and it seems Jessa has already come to accept that she’ll need to take the good with the bad: Spurgeon and Henry Seewald Fight Jessa posted the above video to Instagram earlier today along with the following explanation: “Henry tried to break apart Spurgeon’s car tracks, so big bro shouted ‘Noooo!’ Baby replied with, what sounded like, “Yeaaah!” So big bro hovered over his tracks in a protective manner and said ‘Nooo!’ again. “Ha! And so it continued. The toddler was distraught, and the baby didn’t have clue. #FirstVerbalArgument” It’s a good thing that Jessa has a sense of humor about moments like these. She’s sure to experience many more of them in the years to come. Watch Counting On online for more from reality TV’s most controversial family.

Jessa Duggar on Raising Two Kids: It’s SO Chaotic!

If you watch Counting On online , you know that the Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald are taking her parents’ approach to family planning and seem to be in a race to hit double-digit offspring before they turn 30. Back in February,  Jessa welcomed her second child , a boy named Henry Wilberforce. Henry’s arrival came just 15 months after the birth of Jessa’s first son , Spurgeon. So these days, Jessa and husband Ben Seewald are raising two kids under the age of two – an undertaking that no doubt puts their patience to the test on a daily basis. Jessa isn’t one to complain (We’re pretty sure Duggar women are trained from a young age to keep perma-grins affixed to their faces at all times.), but in a preview for Monday’s episode of Counting On , the 24-year-old confesses that her situation can be trying at times. “I kind of expected it to be a challenge going from one to two kids — I feel like every day is different,” Jessa says in the clip. “Some days it’s very, very simple. Other days, it’s a little more chaotic.” We imagine “a little more chaotic” is Jessa’s euphemistic way of saying there are days when she looks at the pile of dirty diapers and wants to rip her hair out by the roots. Things are a bit less hectic on Ben Seewald’s end, as the Duggars’ have basically added an 11th commandment to their Bible that forbids men from lifting a finger around the house. But being unemployed and under no obligation to assist in the raising of his children didn’t stop Ben from offering his own two cents on life in the Seewald household: “Since Henry’s birth, things have been a little more busy in the Seewald house,” Ben tells producers in the preview. “One adjustment going from one child to two is there are so many diapers and they pile up so fast. We gotta take the trash out a lot more often.” We’re guessing Jessa cracked and let out a terrifying Heath Ledger Joker laugh when she heard Ben complain about taking the trash out more often. If she didn’t, she deserves some sort of prize. Ben should probably go ahead and get a job before Jessa disappears with the kids and goes full Gone Girl on his ass.

Jessa Duggar Welcomes First Child!

The Duggar family now has another family member to count. Sources have confirmed to People Magazine that Jessa Seewald (née Duggar) and husband Ben Seewald have welcomed their first child into the world. View Slideshow: Jessa Duggar Baby Bump Pics: 1 & Counting! They are officially the proud parents of a baby boy, as also confirmed by Ben’s sister Jessica Seewald on Instagram via the message “I’m an Auntie!” No other details – weight, length, name – were immediately available. Jessa, who had documented every stage of her pregnancy up until birth, just shared a picture this week of herself at “# 40Weeks2Days .” She was due to become a first-time mother on November 1. Having revealed her expecting state in April, Jessa has kept followers abreast of her growing baby bump and her pregnancy cravings. We’ve heard all about how she’s indulging in things such as tacos and ice cream on Instagram for months, but they kept the gender secret. In May, of course, Jessa and sister Jill Duggar (who also gave birth this year, to a boy named Israel) made news for very different reasons. Shockingly, became public knowledge that the siblings were both molested by their older brother Josh Duggar when he was a teenager. They proceeded to defend their family for the way it covered up Josh’s scandal, lashing out at the media for how it has portrayed them as victims. TLC, meanwhile, will air a three-part reality special titled “ Jill and Jessa: Counting On ” in December that chronicles the their lives in recent months. It’s safe to assume, at least if filming is still ongoing, that Jessa’s birth and her newborn son will be an adorable focal point on that program. It’s also safe to assume we’ll be inundated with plenty of photos and videos of Jessa, Ben and their new bundle of joy in the coming days. Congratulations to the happy young family!

There are conflicting reports as to what exactly happened , but everyone seems to agree that it all began when Farrah called model Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace a “hag,” prompting Wallace to hurl champagne at her. Farrah Abraham Celebrity Big Brother Fight It seems that Farrah decided to respond by going nuclear. While Wallace just hurled champagne at Farrah, the always-classy Ms Abraham responded by throwing champagne glasses . Yes, she hurled multiple glasses at the the other housemates, one of which struck 64-year-old actress Vicki Michelle in the head, causing her to be hospitalized for whiplash and a concussion. Farrah says she’s keeping mum for legal reasons, but her new BFF Jenna Jameson says that it was fellow housemate Janice Dickinson who did the most damage by hurling chairs, one of which supposedly struck Farrah. “Janice Dickinson went on a rampage slinging chairs hitting Farrah in the head and back!” Jameson tweeted. Reps for Farrah confirmed that she was “assaulted twice” during the melee, and Farrah assured fans on Twitter that she’s “#recovering” and planning to press charges.  Yes, it sounds like the whole thing turned into the kind of clusterf–k seldom seen on even the trashiest reality series.

Jessa Duggar: SLAMMED For Requesting Money From Fans!

Earlier today, we reported tha t Jill and Jessa Duggar specials will air on TLC sometime in the very near future. Between returning to television, spending most of her life starring in a reality series, and cashing in on speaking engagements and other side projects, you would thing that Jessa and her husband Ben Seewald would be pretty comfortable financially, right? Well, apparently not, as the first-time parents-to-be have listed their address and “favorite stores” on several websites with instructions on how fans can send gifts or cash donations. In Touch is reporting that the information has been deleted from Duggar-friendly sites such as Ashley’s Reality Round-Up after fans expressed their distaste with the crass cash-grab in various comment boards. “Love the family, but I don’t think it’s right to give an address for gifts and gift cards,” wrote one fan under a post requesting cash donations. “I may be wrong but TLC and their personal appearances [probably] pay them well…donate to a charity in their name.” Several other fans echoed the sentiment, and the post was deleted just hours later. Initially, Jessa was applauded for continuing to engage with fans (Earlier today she asked the her social media followers to guess her baby’s gender .), despite the fact that she’s no longer enjoying those fat 19 Kids and Counting paychecks. Now, it seems that she’s been asking those same fans for handouts and planning her eventual return to TLC all the while. Jessa has stated that she forgives Josh Duggar for his various sexual indiscretions, but she and her new family are clearly still feeling the fallout from the scandal that ended their once wildly-popular reality series.

Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald: Guess Our Baby’s Gender!

Pregnant 19 Kids & Counting star Jessa Duggar and her husband Ben Seewald are really, really excited for fans to guess their baby’s gender. Are they having a boy or a girl?! Jessa Duggar, Ben Seewald Baby Gender Contest Did you actually think they would tell you in this video? You weren’t alone, but instead, this looks like another 30-second attempt to stay relevant. No, this is not an actual announcement of the gender, just a reminder that Jessa is growing a baby inside her and they are aware of the gender. Lame, yes. But hey, at least people can vote on what you think the gender of #BabySeewald could be. If you’re right, you get absolutely nothing. Bottom line, the Duggars are clinging to whatever attention they can get, even if the Josh Duggar molestation scandal forever tarnished their brand. They’ll probably never be on TV again – save for the TLC sexual abuse special they hope will rebuild their image – but there is always the Internet. Not that they’re pro-Internet most of the time. Anything that serves as a breeding ground for sensual and worldly content is a big no-no in Duggarland. It’s a fine line, and paradoxical, since the world wide web helped them gain so many fans over the years, while also aiding in their recent downfall. One thing we can all agree on though? If you haven’t seen it, the Jessa Duggar swimsuit photo really needs to be discussed. Open the gallery below and you’ll see why … View Slideshow: Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald Photos

Jessa Duggar on Pregnancy: Jill is the Expert!

The pregnant Jessa Duggar doesn’t have to go far for advice when it comes to carrying her first child – or children – with her husband Ben Seewald. The 19 Kids and Counting star’s sister Jill Dillard (formerly Jill Duggar), is not only a student midwife, but has just become a parent for the first time. Jill, 23, “has all the knowledge and training,” Jessa, 22, says. After welcoming her first son Israel David with husband Derick, 26, on April 6 after a 70-hour labor , Jill certainly has a wealth of information to pass on. “I am not comparing, not worrying about what could happen, just getting prepared,” says Jessa, the third Duggar daughter after Jill and Jana Duggar . “Every birth story is unique,” she tells People . “We think we want to go with a midwife and we want to have a home birth, but I just want to be prepared that not everything may go as planned.” Jill certainly taught her that lesson, big time. Jessa says she’s going to “try not to get too worried about it” even as she plans for a range of possibilities. Now into her second trimester, the mom-to-be – who may or may not be expecting twins with Ben Seewald – is grateful morning sickness has waned. “I thought I’d crave pickles and lemons because my mother did, but I couldn’t stand them. And one day I suddenly couldn’t do dairy,” says Jessa. “I would sit and bed and eat crackers, hoping the nausea would pass,” she adds, tough fortunately, Ben was there, “waiting on me hand and foot.” Those Duggars pick good ones. To relive Jessa’s road to the altar, and Jill’s road to parenthood, follow the link to watch 19 Kids and Counting online . Then tune in to TLC May 5. We’ll go behind the scenes of Israel’s birth on that night’s episode, Much like Jessa’s wedding special followed Jill’s, she can expect a similar installment! As for Jana? Poor Jana.

Ben Seewald’s Dad Defends Jessa Duggar, Says Her Critics Are "Hitler’s Doppelgangers"

Ben Seewald’s father, Michael, is weighing in on some of the criticism Jessa Duggar recently endured, calling out the critics of his soon-to-be-daughter-in-law. Specifically, he’s calling the critics of 21-year-old Jessa “Hitler’s Doppelgangers.” Yes, he said that. So how’d we get to this point, you ask? Here’s a refresher: After visiting Washington, D.C., Jessa commented on the Holocaust on abortion in an Instagram essay that resulted in some pretty significant backlash. The Duggars, as you know if you watch 19 Kids and Counting online , or read any celebrity news sites lately, are unabashedly religious and pro-life. Jessa also believes Earth is 6,000 years old , but that’s neither here nor there. Well, she’s marrying a young man in Ben Seewald that shares her convictions, as does his family. Michael Seewald proved this by going OFF on her detractors … “Bravo, Jessa, for daring to speak out against one of the great evils of our time even if it means that Hitler’s doppelgangers are enraged,” Ben’s father writes. “Maybe this is why Rush Limbaugh calls radical feminists ‘Femi-Nazis’.” Michael’s full missive describes in detail how he believes that “abortion also is the extermination of a certain class of people deemed unworthy to live.” Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald Photos 1. Jessa Duggar Wedding Invitation This beautiful wedding invitation beckons you to the nuptials of Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald. If only we could go. “The powers that be have legalized murder just as they did during the Holocaust. Any woman who chooses to may go to an abortion clinic and have her preborn baby violently killed.” “In Hitler’s Germany there was legal discrimination against Jews. In our society we may legally discriminate against our own children and eradicate them.” “Tell me how this is not the same thing.” Some many view statements such as godly, and vital in terms of speaking truth to power. Others may think of Seewald’s rant as hate speech in and of itself. Jessa Duggar, for her part, did not go nearly as far when lamenting the human rights atrocities she was so moved by when she visited the Holocaust museum. The controversy isn’t likely to wane anytime soon, whichever side you’re on. As the criticism intensifies, the Duggars and their supporters keep digging in. Will comments from Ben Seewald ‘s family and the like hurt the popularity of the TLC family? Or only make fans more inclined to tune in, whether they agree or not? 9 Things BANNED in the Duggar Family 1. Dates Without Chaperones The Duggar parents often accompany their children on dates in order to maintain their “accountability” and “keep things from going in the wrong direction,” per Jim Bob. The girls are fine with this, as being alone with men puts them in grave “moral danger.” When the parents aren’t available, their older siblings will often tag along, making every date a group date and a family affair.
