Derick Dillard and Jill Duggar Dillard of TLC’s 19 Kids & Counting fame shared the first photo of their baby son ahead of his anticipated March arrival.
Yes, they posted an adorable ultrasound picture of #BabyDilly!
“I am keeping his ultrasound pictures safe … it is so exciting to look at this picture,” Jill tells People, adding that the little one “is moving and kicking now.”
“It’s crazy to realize I have this wonderful baby boy inside me.”
Jill and Derick wed June 21, and just a few weeks later revealed her pregnancy. They saved their first kiss for the altar, and quickly made up for lost time.
The couple, ages 23 (her) and 25 (him), have set up a Duggar-Dillard baby registry and are taking childbirth classes to prepare for a natural home birth.
“I am learning a lot about birth,” says Derick. “We are doing our homework together, and I keep reading new things, the medical aspects are fascinating to me.”
“I’m a Boy Scout. Being prepared is my motto,” he adds of staying ready for anything for his now-22-weeks pregnant wife. “I’m going to be prepared.”
Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard say they are working together to practice relaxation techniques together and write out their birth plan as a united front.
“We are really on the same page,” says the midwife by trade. “The more Derick learns about birth, the more he feels that natural childbirth makes sense.”
“Derick’s been great at helping me with relaxation, and really supportive. He’s an amazing husband, he’ll be awesome when our baby is born. He already is.”
Until that day arrives next spring, the couple’s routine includes singing “Jesus Loves Me” each night to the baby and writing in a journal for their son.
“Right now, we’re just looking forward to him coming and preparing with classes,” Jill says. “After the holidays, then we’ll get started on the nursery.”
We can’t wait for her next updates and baby bump pics. In the meantime, watch 19 Kids and Counting online and relive their road to the altar via TLC!
