It seems Baby Dilly is how Jill Duggar and her husband will refer to their unborn baby until he or she is born.
The happy couple first shared word of their pregnancy with People magazine.
“We’re having a baby!” Jill said. “We are so excited.”
“About 30 days after Jill and Derick got married they gathered everyone in the living room and shared the news,” proud Grandpa Jim Bob Duggar said. “Everyone was clapping and cheering, and we were in shock, too.”
It will certainly be fun for fans of 19 Kids and Counting to watch the progression of Jill Duggar’s pregnancy throughout the next several months. There will likely be baby showers and shopping trips, and lots of words of wisdom shared by Jill’s mom Michelle Duggar.
Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard’s baby will be born into a huge, loving family full of aunts and uncles–as well as cousins, too. The oldest of the nineteen Duggar kids, Josh Duggar, has a family of his own.
