Jill Duggar and Husband Expecting First Baby

Jill Duggar is adding to their already-big brood. Duggar and her husband, Derick Dillard, are expecting their first child.

The said news comes just less than two months after the couple wed.

The 23-year old "19 and Counting" reality star shared the news with People magazine, saying "We were both so excited and so completely shocked!"

The expectant mom shared that they conceived a little less than two weeks after tying the knot, but that the fact that the newlyweds won't be able to enjoy their time alone together soon isn't an issue to the two.

"We may not get a few years alone together, but God doesn't just pop babies out," she shared, "You have nine months to grow together as a couple."

Duggar stated that they leave it to God how many children he will bless them with - whether it be few or even more than the number of siblings she has.

She is planning to give birth at home.

Her father is ecstatic about the baby news, sharing that the couple gathered everyone in their living room and revealed that a baby is on the way. Everyone was in shock but couldn't help but clap and cheer hearing the news.

Duggar and 25-year old Dillard got married on June 21 in Springdale, Arkansas. Because the two follow a conservative Christian faith, the couple didn't even hold hands until their engagement in April. Duggar and Dillard also shared their first kiss during their wedding which was attended by more than 1,000 guests.

It seems the couple has really been trying to get pregnant. Duggar shared that she took several pregnancy tests which came back negative until her sisters told her to use one of her mother Michelle's tests. The said test came back positive.

Recently, Jill Duggar's 21-year old sister Jessa, got engaged to her 19-year old boyfriend Ben Seewald.

Seewald proposed on their 11th month anniversary last August 14.
