It's official! After months of speculation, Jessa Duggar and her husband Ben Seewald have confirmed that they are expecting their first child together. The news comes only one week after Jessa's sister Jill gave birth to her first child, Israel David Dillard.

According to Us Weekly, the TLC network released a statement confirming Jessa's pregnancy, but didn't give any information as to how far along she is or when the couple's due date is.

Even before the big news, fans have speculated that Jessa might be pregnant, as she was recently spotted buying a new wardrobe for herself.

Is Jessa Duggar Jealous That Her Sister Jill Is Getting More Media Attention Because Of Her Pregnancy?

According to OK! Magazine on Friday, Twitter user @JayciMay2 spotted the reality television star shopping in the maternity section of a local Ross store in Arkansas on April 2.

"I just saw Jessa Duggar looking at the maternity and juniors sections at the Ross in Rogers," she wrote.

The Celebrate Arkansas Magazine (via In Touch Weekly) reported back in February that the couple definitely had babies on the mind and are looking to hopefully start a family real soon.

She said, "We would love to have children of our own, and we would also love to adopt. It's something we are constantly praying about."

Jessa and Ben got married back in November in a small ceremony with their closest friends and family.
