Jill Duggar Is Pregnant, Baby Boy On The Way

"19 Kids and Counting" star Jill Duggar and husband Derick Dillard are officially expecting a baby boy in the coming spring.

In August, Duggar, 23, announced that she was pregnant with her first child. She shared her pregnancy experience like dealing with morning sickness and her cravings for dill pickles, lemon with salt and nuts. The couple also gave a nickname to their unborn child - "Baby Dilly".

"I've been having a lot of morning sickness. They should call it 'pregnancy sickness' because it's all day, but I'm feeling good today!" Duggar told ABC News. "I'm thanking God for this little life and the good signs. It's well worth it."

Dillard, 25, the soon to be father shares his excitement to the public. "As a new dad, to have a firstborn son to be our first child and be the leader of his siblings, it is very special," People.com reported.

 Jim Bob Duggar, Jill's father, said everyone in the family was surprised but it was happy news for everybody. Jill's siblings accompanied the couple and shared the same excitement during the ultrasound last Saturday. All have their different guesses whether it will be a baby boy or girl who'll be running around soon.

 "I thought all along we were having a girl. Everyone made their guesses", Jill added. The Dillards prepared for the moment with a big breakfast of waffles with syrup, whipped cream, fruit, chocolate milk and lemonade to help the tiny tot get energized and show himself in the ultrasound procedure.

As a mom-to-be she is already sure that she wants to have a natural birth at home. She believes that it will be more relaxing to give birth with the help of a midwife.

Just a few months after they announced their engagement, the couple got married in June this year. After two months, the two were elated to finally announce that they are expecting.
