Talks about a second baby!
Just nine days after giving birth to her first child, Jessa would love to adopt her second baby. Ben and Jessa have to wait at least until November 2016 to start the adoption progress due to the law.
Jessa revealed that she would love to have their second baby to be adopted. Due to the adoption agencies, they are not allowed to adopt while the baby is still under a year so they have to wait until he turns one.
Ben and Jessa are looking forward to enjoying time with their little one.
"When I was in labor, I told Ben, 'Babe, we are not having any more kids after this,' " Jessa says, with a laugh. "I was teasing – we will have more kids. But in that moment of pain, I believed it!"

Jessa and Ben Seewald update!
In the recent blogs, we announced that Ben and Jessa gave an interview to People magazine. Here is a few updates for Ben and Jessa!
1. Jessa and Ben honeymooned in Paris, Rome, and Venice.
2. They are now renting the house that Josh and Anna lived in before moving to Washington D.C. Who is their landlord? Grandma Mary Duggar! The house is minutes away from Jim Bob and Michelle and about 30 minutes from Jill and Derick.
3. Ben completed an associate's degree and is considering attending seminary in hopes of becoming a pastor someday. He currently works for Jim Bob.
4. Jessa is not pregnant (yet).
5. The Seewalds researched adoption but discovered that most agencies require a couple to be married for two years before adopting. Still, they hope to adopt "a lot of kids," as Jessa puts it.
6. Jessa and Ben are considering purchasing a TV to watch football and "a cooking show every now and then," but for now, they watch television shows, such as The Andy Griffith Show, online.

Jessa and Ben Seewald Talk About Life as Newlyweds to PEOPLE Magazine
On the last season of "19 Kids and Counting," we watched the relationship between Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald grow. We saw Ben nervously ask Jessa's father for permission to court, plan a series of sweet dates (with chaperones, of course!), and move in to the Duggar's home. And at the end of last season, Ben orchestrated one incredibly romantic scavenger hunt proposal -- and Jessa said yes!
This past November, Jessa, 22, and Ben, 19, tied the knot in front of 1,000 people in Bentonville, Arkansas. (Don't worry, you'll get to see the lovely event later this season!) They've moved out of the Duggar home and are definitely enjoying life as newlyweds.
Jessa and Ben recently sat down with PEOPLE magazine to discuss their new, quieter life together as well as their big plans for the future. Ben, who himself is no stranger to large families (he is one of seven siblings), and Jessa have found it tough to get used to living in a less chaotic environment. "One thing I've had to adjust to," Jessa told PEOPLE, "is not having my siblings around - especially my sisters because we are so close."
But based on all of the Instagram pictures of the happy couple, they seem to be savoring their newfound alone time.
Jessa and Ben are also excited to grow their own family. And they've got plenty of older siblings to consult when it comes to parenting tips. Jessa's older brother Josh and his wife Anna are expecting their fourth child this year and Jessa's older sister Jill, who was married last summer, is pregnant with her first child. However, Jessa and Ben are considering going a different route.
"We hope to adopt a lot of kids," Jessa tells PEOPLE. "If God blesses us with biological kids of our own, it's not going to quench our desire to adopt."
