Attention, good citizens of the Internets.

Jessa Duggar would like your attention.

The mother of two and veteran reality star took to Instagram Stories on Friday and addressed the elephant in the room.

Which isn’t really an accurate description of the rumors surrounding the 25-year-old Arkansas product these days.

It’s more apt to say that the wife of Ben Seewald addressed the alleged fetus in the womb … if you know what we mean.

We mean pregnancy rumors.

Indeed, chatter has been ongoing for weeks now that Jessa is pregnant with her third child, despite already having two little boys at home.

This would be an unusual development for some women with two- and one-year-old kids … but for a Duggar woman?

No judgment or anything, but if you know anything about them, it’s that  … you just never know with this family.

“Jessa is definitely pregnant and will be making an announcement in April,” a source close to the family told five weeks ago.

Lo and behold, it is now April – and Duggar did just jump on social media to say she has a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT.

She’s really expecting again?!?!?!?!?!?

No.

“Bc I’ve been asked if I’m hiding a bit of a bump… BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! Yes!” Duggar captioned a photo of herself in a baggy sweatshirt, adding:

“But it’s currently a shrinking bump rather than a growing one. #postpartum #baggyshirts #thanksforasking.”

Oh.

Jessa gave birth to a son named Henry on February 7 of last year and also has a toddler named Spurgeon at home with husband Ben.

It wouldn’t surprise us one bit if the couple eventually adds to its brood with another boy or girl, but not this soon.

Heck, Jessa may not be anxious to keep cranking out kids at all if she’s gonna keep getting dragged online for the most basic of acts.

Shortly before she joked around on Instagram, Jessa posted a video of her young sons running around outside without shoes on.

"Toddlers. So cute to watch them discover all the little details in their world!" Jessa captioned the VERY innocent video.

And then she sat back and watched and horrible trolls yelled at her for being a bad mother because the kids weren’t wearing shoes.

You tell us: Did Jessa deserve crap for this footage?

In a new TLC video, it’s true that Jessa beamed as her younger sister described her experiences as a first-time expectant mother.

"It’s so much fun talking to Jinger," said Jessa, adding:

"She’s been going through this pregnancy journey and she’s been drawing out all of the different things she’s experiencing."

Jessa also joked that her sibling better make sure to "enjoy those extra calories!"

Does this mean she’s anxious to get pregnant herself and gobble up as much food as possible?

Not really. Don’t be fooled or get your hopes up.

“There’s days where it feels like we have just hardly any time in the evening together,” Jessa said in a Counting On preview.

She made this comment in response to Ben mentioning having another child, which, again, we’re certain will happen someday.

But that day is not today, for better or worse.

We doubt it will be tomorrow, either.

P.S. Nice joke, Jessa!

You actually got us with it!

And it made us laugh out loud!

Always nice to see when celebrities can have fun with the many rumors floating around out there about them on the Internet.

In all seriousness, the couple has also talked about adopting a child for years, so that’s always an option for them as well.
