[@lisashanks8275]

I love it that Jessa cries after each one of her babies, it's the sweetest thing to see her so overcome with such love❤

[@exploringnewhites]

Love seeing husbands be tender to their wives, the way Ben touched Jessa’s right after baby was born ❤ Congratulations! Looking forward to hearing his name!

[@michellesartori6695]

I had 5 kids, too, and mine were big babies too. My final baby was 31 years old on December 21st. I remember having to have pelvimetry done to see if I could deliver her vaginally because she was breech and they thought she was about 8 pounds but she ended up being 9 pounds 2 ounces. But my middle child, I too had 3 boys and 2 girls, was 9 pounds 12 and a half ounces and I was HUGE! I am so glad that the Lord sent this sweet little boy to the Sewald and Duggar families! God is indeed good and Merry Christmas everyone! Congratulations to both families.

[@micheledavis3735]

I wish you joy! You and Ben are remarkable and well-loved. I worry so much because of your history of blood loss but you're a birthing hero! I've not seen another person turn off their epidural to change their baby's position! Again, remarkable. Thank you for allowing us a glimpse of your birth and what a lovely baby boy! I cannot wait...love, Michele 🩵🎄🤲

[@brittmd3103]

Jessa I’ve been watching your family for over a decade and you were always so stoic. But as soon as you first see your baby, with each delivery, there is instant water works and it makes me cry too lol. That moment does feel like magic and you display it so well. Congratulations to the seewald family!

[@paytonsmama419]

The love between Ben & Jessa is the sweetest. I love how he was so attentive in being there, Jessa, to bring their baby into the world. The look on his face when their babys weight was announced was priceless. Jessa powered through in listening to her doula to get the baby to get into the right position for a vaginal birth. Jessa, sweetie, you did such an amazing job in pushing your nearly 10 pound baby boy. Congratulations to the Seawald family as they welcome their precious little one into the world. I'm so very happy for y'all. 🙏🙏🙏

[@donna3465]

As someone who was never able to have children, I bawled when you delivered him. Omgoodness, what a miracle!

[@nikkibayo]

Congratulations on your beautiful blessing!!! God is good! I’m so glad to see your mom too, as she brings such a calming energy to the moment. I’m 45, and my boys are all grown, but if I had to go through labor and delivery, I’d want your mom there with me too! ❤

[@Mimi2thebestboysever]

Her Mom is such a sweet and loving person!

[@erinwoolfrey7650]

I don't personally know this family in anyway- but ID love to have Michelle there to help me deliver lol!! So much grace , kindness, heart and compassion! Truly a woman designed by God to deliver babies and to help others deliver. Bless her heart. She truly is a blessing to her girls and grandbabies- and all their husbands! Congratulations Ben and Jessa. You both did any amazing job and now have a beautiful little, or not so little, bundle of joy to add yet more love and laughter to your lives, homes and hearts! So happy for you all and sending you all heartfelt best wishes and blessings to you all. X

Jess this was beautiful! A rainbow baby is always so special! When Pregnant with my baby #5 I knew he would be big also, as all my others were. When I seen him I knew he’d be over 10lbs. Boy was I surprised when they told me he weighed 12.1 lbs and 26 inches long! We Mamas always know! Congrats to you and your beautiful family!

[@MissLauraSquared]

26 inches!!! 😭 My daughter was 11 lbs 4 oz and 21.5 inches and was told she looked like a 3-month old coming out.

[@user-gh2fo9pw2b]

Oh my goodness, that's a big baby❤ Did you need new clothes right away? My friends baby girl was 12 lbs, 12 Oz, 24 inches!!! She couldn't fit into the newborn clothes! Also, a natural delivery, 1st baby! God bless all of you Momma's, you're all amazing! From conception to birth and into adults and Grandparents, all of you are amazing and so selfless❤ Merry Christmas and the best New Year ever😊

Not sure if your question was for me or the original commenter. We didn’t use any newborn clothes, just started with 0-3month clothes and size 1 diapers. 😊

Me too! I would have been very surprised if it was a girl. I had a baby boy of the same weight as Jessa's boy and almost 36 years later I can still recall being in acute pain and the OB said to the student Dr as I was tryingto pushhis head out "this is a VERY big baby". I'm so glad that Jessa and baby are well! Merry Christmas for tomorrow (I'm in Australia)!
