Jill Duggar: 19 Kids and Counting star thrilled to enter second trimester of pregnancy

Jill Duggar is taking pregnancy in her stride. In amongst dinner dates with her hubby Derick Dillard and hanging out with other members of the huge Duggar clan, she is still finding the time to update her fans about "Baby Dilly".

While some celebs like to keep their fans guessing by keeping their baby bumps under wraps, Duggar has been happily sharing hers with her followers, posting photos of its development each week.

She's now in her thirteenth week and the second trimester and she couldn't contain her excitement on her Instagram page.

She captioned the photo: "In our second trimester now! "Baby Dilly" is now the size of a fuzzy sweet Georgia peach!"

 

But it's not just "Baby Dilly" Jill finds the time to share about too. Days before her latest pregnancy update, she shared beautiful pictures from her morning devotional time, which was spent reflecting on Matthew 4.4, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God!".

She had some great words of advice for her Christian followers too: "Remember to be a doer of the word today and not a hearer only!"

The happy couple take their faith seriously and their public speaking engagements recently included a talk on purity and relationships at the Friendly Chapel Church of the Nazarene in Little Rock Arkansas.

Derick, an accountant, previously served as a missionary with the International Mission Board.

Purity was a big thing for the Dillards as the two made a pledge to save their first kiss for their wedding day on June 21 in Springdale, Arkansas.

It's a pledge that has been taken up by her sister Jessa and her fiancé Ben Seewald, who are set to wed on November 1.
