Jill Duggar Dillard’s baby bump made a new appearance recently as the 19 Kids and Counting star and her husband Derick took in a basketball game. While “Baby Dilly” could be arriving at virtually any moment at this point, it looks like Jill and Derick are keeping busy and getting out-and-about as they wait.
Derick and Jill attended an Oklahoma State University women’s basketball game last weekend and shared a photo via Instagram. The 19 Kids couple is dressed in OSU colors and they are standing with some of the ladies from the team. Of course Jill Duggar’s baby bump, which is nearing the 36-week mark now, is prominently featured. The basketball players standing with the couple decided to have a bit of fun, using their basketballs to create fake matching baby bumps.
As is the case with nearly any post of Jill’s on Instagram, the photo generated more than 25,000 “likes” almost instantly. If fans go this crazy over a post now, most 19 Kids fans can only imagine how enthusiastic everybody will be when “Baby Dilly” arrives. The last official baby bump picture , shared about a week ago, showed Jill officially at the 35-week mark.
Jill and Derick have talked about how they’re preparing for the baby’s birth, noting that they have a team of midwives ready and Jill’s sister Jana will be present too. Other family members are ready to run errands and help in whatever way is needed. The Dillards have revealed that they’re expecting a baby boy, and according to the Duggar Family Blog , his due date is March 24 .
19 Kids and Counting fans have been thrilled to get the opportunity to follow along with Derick and Jill’s pregnancy in this new season airing Tuesday nights on TLC. The premiere showed the newlyweds sharing the news with family and there will be a lot of other great tidbits ahead.
The new season also features Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald planning their wedding, with the big walk down the aisle just ahead. Jessa and Ben got married on November 1 and fans are thrilled they get to watch it all come together during this new season.
Just when will Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard actually welcome “Baby Dilly”? Will Jill manage to make it all the way to her official due date? Stay tuned for more 19 Kids and Counting updates as the big date approaches.
