Duggar Family Update: Jessa Duggar Seewald Celebrates Baby Shower
Jessa Duggar Seewald recently celebrated her baby shower with family and friends.
The 22-year-old reality star and her husband, Ben Seewald, held the event in Highfill, Arkansas on Thursday, Oct. 15, according to Us Weekly.
"It was really fun," a source close to the family tells People.
"There were guys there, anyone could go," the source added. "It was good. There was a lot of everybody."
Ben Seewald had previously talked about the idea of a "guy-friendly shower," which included activities for both sexes, such as a milk-drinking contest for the men and a diaper-changing challenge for the women.
"They had a contest for the ladies in which they had to close their eyes and race to change a diaper on a baby doll," the source said, adding that Duggar won the competition. "The final competition was one that Ben came up with. He and three of his friends had a contest to see who could make the best baby food!"
Food at the event included hot dogs, which they cooked over a large fire pit, and pumpkin desserts, including pumpkin cake balls and pumpkin pies. They also had two types of drinks, pink lemonade and blue Hawaiian Punch, available at the shower to keep their guests guessing about the gender of the baby.
Instead of the usual baby shower gifts, Jessa and Ben told guests to bring written prayer blessings, which they will combine together into a memento to remember the special day.
"As the party came to a close, everyone gathered around Ben and Jessa and prayed over them as a couple and for the little one," the insider said. "This was such a special time!"
The couple first announced Jessa's pregnancy in April, and the expected due date for their first child is Nov. 1. This date is also the anniversary of their wedding day in 2014.
