And the Duggar bump watch continues...the other one, that is.

Jessa Duggar is taking a page from sister Jill Duggar (and many moms-to-be) and has begun to post what is likely to be many pregnancy milestone pics.

The 22-year-old 19 Kids and Counting star shared on her Instagram page on Sunday a pic of herself 20 weeks along, wearing a black T-shirt, with her long golden honey brown hair in a side braid.

Jessa also posted an ultrasound video of their baby, set to Andrew Peterson's 2010 "song" "World Traveler."

"#BabySeewald is growing fast!" she wrote. "Already practicing swallowing, sucking a thumb, and actively moving arms and legs! So excited at the feeling of these first baby kicks!"

Jill, 24, and husband Derick Dillard, 26, welcomed son Israel more than two months ago. While she was pregnant, she showcased her growing baby bump many times, including after her due date. The couple referred to their child as "Baby Dilly."  Jessa and husband Ben Seewald, 20, are referring to their unborn child as "Baby Seewald."

Jessa and her husband had announced her pregnancy in April, more than five months after the two got married. She shared her first baby bump pic on May 19, when she was 16 weeks along.

Jessa's pregnancy comes amid a child molestation scandal involving brother Josh Duggar, 27, who has apologized for having "acted inexcusably" when he was a teenager.

The controversy, which came days after 19 Kids and Counting's season 9 finale, prompted TLC to stop airing reruns, while many advertisers have pulled their ads.

Jessa and Jill came forward as two of Josh's victims in a Fox News interview that aired on June 5 and talked about the scandal and about forgiveness.

"Like in Josh's case, he was a boy, a young boy in puberty and a little too curious about girls," Jessa said." And that got him into to some trouble."

Jessa and other family members had taken a short social media hiatus after the scandal broke. She returned to Instagram on Wednesday, five days after the interview aired, to post the first ultrasound image of her baby.
