Jill Duggar ready for home birth

Jill Duggar is ready to pop! Facebook/Duggar Family

The newest addition to the 19 Kids and Counting family is about to arrive, with Jill Duggar nearing the end of her pregnancy!

The Duggar family just shared the latest photo of Jill who is "35 weeks and 1 day" pregnant on Facebook. Alongside the photo, the family captioned it, "Almost here!"

In the Duggar family blog, they even wrote that "Jill is due in less than five weeks. Her glowing face tells it all...this gal is ready to be a mama."

The family also shared a video of Jill lovingly cradling her big tummy. The Duggars wrote, "This baby boy is growing and active and we cannot wait to meet him!"

PEOPLE revealed that Jill feels most fabulous when her son with Derick Dillard is active. The boy, who has already been nicknamed Baby Dilly will be born on March 24, and Jana Duggar and a team of midwives will help deliver him at the Dillards' home.

"And my sisters, mom and Derick's mom are available as errand runners," added Jill.

The Dillards are already well prepared for the pregnancy, with a birthing tub, bassinet, and crib all in place.

"We're getting the birthing pool, things like that," said Derick.

Jill is more than ready to become a mother, since she already has a lot of experience caring for her other siblings, and she is also a midwife. Derick, on the other hand, has never changed a diaper his entire life.

Despite this, Derick is excited to be changing his first diaper for his son and so is his brother Dan Dillard, who is eager to take his nephew out camping.

"I think my brother will be a great uncle," said Derick. "He has as much baby experience as I do, but he has lined things up already, planning to take our son camping someday. We'll both get to change our first diaper."
