It’s barely been a month since we learned that Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard are expecting their second child, and now we’ve already learned the gender of the new little baby!
Jill’s due in July, and she’ll be having a …
A boy! A boy! It’s a boy!
How exciting, right? Jill and Derick are already parents to Israel Dillard, who was born in April of 2015, so they’ve got plenty of experience with little boys.
The Dillards revealed the gender exclusively to People with a sweet little photo of the whole family holding up a cute baby boy’s outfit: a blue shirt with orange cargo pants.
At least, that was the reveal to the public: for the family, they set up a scavenger hunt for Jill’s younger siblings.
It’s all so sweet, but then again, we knew that when Jill and Derick first announced the pregnancy.
“We are so excited to be expecting Dillard baby #2!” they said in their statement. “Children really are a wonderful blessing from God.”
“Having Israel has been such a delight to us that we know a second sweet baby will only continue to add joy to our family,” they went on.
“We are thankful to God for this sweet child and we cannot wait to see her or him face to face!”
Maybe they’ll see a “her” next time around with baby number three …
Or number four. Or number five.
You get where we’re going with this — if Jill has even half the amount of children her mother had, she’s bound to see a “her” in there somewhere.
Another bit of sweetness: when Jill’s brand new little boy is born in July, he’ll have a cousin very close in age to play with — Jessa Duggar’s all set to have her second child any minute now!
Over the weekend, Jessa shared a photo of her baby bump and announced that she was 39 weeks pregnant, so in just a couple of weeks at the very most, the Duggar will have one more family member.
Of course, Jessa’s kept quiet on whether she’s having a boy or a girl, so we’ll have to wait a little bit longer on that gender reveal.
But enough about Jessa: let’s all congratulate Jill on her sure-to-be precious baby boy!
Best wishes for her and her growing family.
