"We are so excited to introduce our little baby boy to the world," Duggar said before Seewald added, "It was definitely a challenge trying to keep the gender a secret."

The former 19 Kids & Counting star gave birth Monday after announcing her pregnancy in August. She and Seewald married in 2014, and welcomed their first child, son Spurgeon Elliot, the next year.

"I think it's really awesome that we have two little boys so close together in age. I know they're going to be best friends and love growing up and doing everything together. I'm looking forward to seeing that," the star said.

"This baby's probably going to have a unique name, sort of like Spurgeon's, but we haven't quite settled on a name yet. We've got some pretty good ideas, but we want to be sure before we make it official," the pair added.

The Jill & Jessa: Counting On star recently said in the Feb. 13 issue of People that she and Seewald want to have "many" more children in the future. The couple have been vocal in the past about wanting to adopt kids.

"Ben and I still have a deep desire to adopt, and it's something we continue to look into. We've also talked about fostering to adopt," she said. "[We want] many future babies."

Duggar's sister Jill Duggar is pregnant and expecting her second child with husband Derick Dillard. She and her sister are the daughters of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, and grew up with 17 other siblings.
