"19 Kids and Counting" will be back with its new season. It is no secret that the ninth season will showcase the wedding of Ben and Jessa Seewald, but with a family this big and one that continues to grow, there's certainly many more things happening in the Duggar household. On the official blog site of The Duggars, some details were spilled as to what season 9 will be about. 

Back in season 8, Jill got married to Derick Dillard and in this season, fans will witness how Jill adjusts to being a housewife and a soon-to-be mother, and how the newly-wed couple adjusts to parenthood. Jill's ultrasound sessions and birthing classes will also be featured. 

Jill is very active on social media and has posted photos of her baby bump. Last week, she posted a photo of her and Derick celebrating their first hug anniversary. She also mentioned that she was 32 weeks pregnant then. That means that she's due this March already.  

The gender of Baby Dilly hasn't been revealed yet. The blog stated that it will be revealed this season, too.

As for Jessa and Ben, their wedding will be the highlight of the season. Fans will see how they planned for the wedding on a very strict budget. They had 1,000 guests, but didn't want to spend a lot on the wedding itself. The blog post even said that the couple were "pinching pennies" for the wedding since they put most of their money on the honeymoon. 

"From budgeting to bridesmaid attire, Jessa knows what she wants, but has less than three months to pull it off," the post said.

Meanwhile, other things that will happen in season 9 include Jim Bob and Michelle facing the challenge of a daughter's sleepover. And then there's Ben and Jessa facing mold problems in their new home. As for Josh and Anna, they've adjusted to a life in the East Coast smoothly. They're also expecting a new baby Duggar soon.

"19 Kids and Counting" season 9 debuts on Feb. 19 on TLC.
