Duggar Family News, Update: Jessa Duggar Seewald Shares Family Plans at the Southern Woman's Show in Orlando
Just like their fans in TLC's reality TV series "19 Kids and Counting," Jessa (Duggar) Seewald is just as much excited for the arrival of her first child with husband Ben Seewald. With only about five weeks to go before her expected delivery, Jessa opened up at the Southern Woman's Show in Orlando her plans for her own family.
At the event, which took place over the weekend, the 22-year-old admits that having the baby will certainly make dramatic changes in their lives as a couple.
"It's going to be huge. [Ben and I] were just talking logistics of travel. Right now, we packed all of our stuff in a little suitcase for this weekend trip, and I was like, man, when you have a baby!" she said (via ETOnline).

Adding up to the pressure is their friends who warn them about the extra baggage that they have to bring along with them which are mostly composed of "baby stuff" like diapers, extra clothes and such.
But Jessa doesn't have to look anywhere else to gain guidance in the midst of all this confusion. The TV personality told the audience how she turns to her mother, Michelle Duggar, when she tries to figure out what to do next.
"I think I have a great example in my mom," Jessa went on to say (via ET). "She's such an amazing woman. She's so patient, so kind and loving and caring with all the kids. So, I really look to her as my role model, my example."
Just because they are taking inspirations from the heads of the clan, that doesn't mean that they won't be having plans of their own.
One of the first things they would do for their own immediate family is not naming their children with a certain letter. The mother-to-be reasoned out that if they do that, they will be limiting their options on choosing names.
The couple further reiterated their plans for adoption, which they previously and openly discussed.
Jessa said that she and Ben are looking forward to adopting children. In fact, they are already trying to find out more about the process and the requirements needed for such actions.
The couple might also soon be moving away from Jim Bob and Michelle's abode if Ben's plan of going to the seminary requires them to do so.
Jessa and Ben are expected to be seen in the new, highly-anticipated three-part specials featuring the Duggar family. The show is slated to start airing by the end of 2015 on TLC.
