Some people think there are more Duggars than necessary. But the sceptics can get prepared for another shock with this one - Jessa and Ben Seewald might be expecting not one, not two, but three babies.

The triplet news is not yet confirmed as Jessa said she and her husband were overjoyed with her first son Spurgeon. Jessa Duggar broke the news at Seewalds' website with a few photos.

One of the photos was captioned "Doubling the Love Feb 2017".

Spurgeon seemed a bit bewildered but looked very good in his "beret, curly hair and beautiful green eyes."

What is intriguing is that Jessa put a leading teaser in her blog post, which announced that they were either "expecting a baby or babies!"

The pramload is expected to arrive in February 2017. Speculations about the multiple babies originate from Jessa's mother Michelle, who had two sets of twins for siblings. 

The multiple children would thrill Jessa. Even during her first pregnancy she had wanted triplets, because she had been "eating so much."

"During the stages of morning sickness, keeping something in my stomach kept me from being sick," she said.

So in the latest '19 Kids and Counting' over TLC, Jessa Duggar Seewald got some fame.

The current title is an expansion of the initial '17 Kids and Counting' and '18 Kids and Counting', even as the Duggar family kept expanding.
