First photos revealed of Jessa Duggar Seewald's newborn son

SPRINGDALE, Ark., Nov. 7 (UPI) -- Reality television personality Ben Seewald has shared on his family's website several photos of his newborn son.

He and his wife Jessa Duggar Seewald have not yet revealed the name of their first child, who was born Thursday night.

"Our sweet baby boy was born last night. He weighed 9 lbs and 11 ounces and is 21 1/4 inches long! He's precious and both he and Jessa are doing great. Stay tuned—we will share his name soon!" Ben Seewald posted Friday, along with the adorable images, which variously show Jessa, Ben, and Jessa's father and former 19 Kids & Counting co-star Jim Bob Duggar holding the baby.

Duggar Seewald was due to give birth last Sunday. She married Ben Seewald in November 2014 and the couple announced in April they were expecting their first child. They did not reveal the baby's gender before he was born.

Duggar Seewald and her devoutly Christian family starred in the popular docu-series 19 Kids & Counting, which was canceled this year after the public became aware that Jessa's older brother Josh Duggar had molested her and other young female relatives a decade ago when he was a teen. He later confessed to cheating on his wife Anna with several women, as well.

Duggar Seewald and her sister Jill will star in their own series of TLC specials under the title Counting On.
