Jessa Duggar Seewald 'excited at the feeling of these first baby kicks'

SPRINGDALE, Ark., June 14 (UPI) -- Pregnant reality TV personality Jessa Duggar Seewald posted on social media a photo of herself with her 20-week baby bump, as well as her most recent ultrasound video.

This is the first child for the 22-year-old 19 Kids and Counting star and Ben Seewald, whom she married last November.

The Duggar family's reality show has been suspended, while TLC handles a scandal involving Jessa's older brother Josh, who recently admitted to sexually molesting five young girls, including Jessa, more than a decade ago when he was a young teen. Josh has never been charged with a crime, however.

"#BabySeewald #20Weeks!," Jessa tweeted Sunday, alongside a photo of herself, wearing a dark-colored T-shirt and showing off her growing baby bump, while she is standing in front of a rack of clothes.

"#BabySeewald is growing fast! Already practicing swallowing, sucking a thumb, and actively moving arms and legs!" she captioned the ultrasound video she posted on Instagram. "So excited at the feeling of these first baby kicks!"

#BabySeewald is growing fast! Already practicing swallowing, sucking a thumb, and actively moving arms and legs! 💞 So excited at the feeling of these first baby kicks! 😍 #UltrasoundVideo #20Weeks --with @ben_seewald "For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you." - Psalm 139:13-18
