Jinger Duggar isn’t really all that close to having her baby.
The TLC star still has about 15 weeks to go.
But it’s never too early for a mother-to-be to get excited about said baby, is it?
This is why Jinger and husband Jeremy Vuolvo have been in the news often of late.
They just can’t wait to be parents!
A few days ago, Duggar shared a photo of herself at 25 weeks pregnant, comparing the size of her fetus to the size of a cauliflower and showing off her growing baby bump.
Not long afterward came even bigger news:
Jinger and Jeremy announced the gender of their impending child!!!!!!
Following weeks of anticipation and speculation (from fans online), the reality stars confirmed to People Magazine that a precious little girl is on the way.
“We are so happy to announce that we are having a little baby girl!” the twosome told this publication on Monday, excitedly adding:
“We could not be more excited and are eagerly anticipating meeting our little lady this summer.
“We especially love thinking forward and realizing that she will have excellent role models in both of her grandmothers, who cannot wait to shower her with love.”
But… wait!
Jinger and Jeremy are not done making pregnancy news!
A few hours after revealing the sex of their first kid, the stars attended a baby shower thrown in their honor by two close pals.
“My dear friends Juan & Margarita surprised me with a celebration last night for our little girl,” wrote Jinger as a caption to the following image on Instagram, adding:
“We felt so honored, cared for, and loved by our friends and family!”
True to the gender of the baby, their friends were sure to decorate the room with pink balloons, as you can partly see here:
Jeremy and Jinger told the world about their expecting state in early January.
They received the blessed news about 14 months after getting married and simply cannot wait to become first-time parents.
(Although they did wait longer than most members of this famous family to actually get pregnant, somehow earning flak in the process. Mostly because the Internet is a terrible place.)
Thankfully, neither Jinger nor Jeremy is letting the backlash get to them.
The former continues to post pregnancy pics online and both could scarcely contain their excitement upon announcing the future baby to their fans and followers earlier this year.
This is what they wrote in a statement at the time:
The past 14 months have been the best of our lives as we have had the wonderful privilege of beginning our journey through life together in marriage.
We both looked forward to the joys of marriage but neither one of us fully understood just how amazing the start of this journey would be.
Truly, the Lord’s mercies are new every morning! Now, the journey has taken an exciting turn: We are expecting our first child!
We are praising God for this beautiful gift and ask that you join us in praying for a safe and healthy pregnancy.
