Earlier this week, the Counting On star and Seewald, 21, revealed that Henry was named after Matthew Henry and British politician William Wilberforce. They enjoy Matthew Henry's commentary series on the Bible and think Wilberforce was "someone who really walked with God and his closeness with Christ and his joy that he had in the Lord really fueled his life and all that he did," Seewald said.

The proud mom also gushed about how she hopes Spurgeon and Henry will bond. "I think it's really awesome that we have two little boys so close together in age," she said. "I know they are going to be best friends and love growing up and doing everything together."
