As for her tot, who’ll be featured on TLC’s upcoming Counting On specials centering around the Seewalds and Jessa’s sister Jill Duggar Dillard and her family, he’s already a star in the eyes of the new mom and dad. Jessa has said that she and Ben are “definitely excited to be parents.” Ben, in fact, even began doting on their child before they welcomed him to the world. “You’re already such a sweet daddy, caring for your preborn baby!” Jessa wrote on Instagram on Father’s Day, June 21. “You’re my #1 cheerleader when it comes to making good food choices, but you also understand when the baby ‘needs’ a late-night bowl of cookies & cream ice cream! Thanks for all the back rubs, breakfast in bed, and for encouraging me to stick with those pregnancy workouts! You’re the best! So blessed to have you as my husband and the father of our baby.”
