'We are so excited to introduce our little baby boy to the world. I think it’s really awesome that we have two little boys so close together in age,' Jessa said in the video.
'I know they’re going to be best friends and love growing up and doing everything together, so I’m looking forward to seeing that. I know Ben’s probably going to have them out in the backyard playing football in the next couple of years!,' she added.
Ben said it was a challenge keeping the baby's gender a secret.
He also revealed their son also would have a unique name like his older brother, but said they haven't decided on one yet.

Jessa also talked about how she got emotional after giving birth.
'When the baby was finally born and I got to hold him for the first time, I started crying. I think Ben had tears in his eyes,' she said.
'We wanna thank everyone for their love and prayers and support for us during this labor and delivery, and continue to watch on Counting On,' she concluded.
