Jill Duggar is in the second trimester of her pregnancy and if her posts to Twitter and Instagram are anything to go by, she's enjoying every minute of it.

She's shared some fun pics of her favorite pregnancy food - an interesting sounding combination of green beans, salt and vinegar!  And she's kept fans well update about the size of her bump.  

News of the pregnancy came just a few weeks after the 19 Kids and Counting star married Derick Dillard on June 21 and the pair are still very much in the honeymoon phase of their marriage.

They are enjoying regular lunch and dinner dates, and had their first camping trip as a married couple last week.  

Not surprisingly for this Christian couple, faith has been a big part of the pregnancy right from the beginning.

They revealed that they decided to share the good news about their little one so early on because of their belief in the value of every life.  

"Believing that life begins at conception and that every life is precious no matter how young, we would — even if there were to be a miscarriage — we would still want that child to be recognised," Jill told Us Weekly back in August. "So it was something that we thought about and went forward with."

The new addition to their family - nicknamed Baby Dilly - is due in March and Jill has been sharing regular photos of her growing baby bump on her Instagram page. 

In her latest post, she also shared some Bible verses to give encouragement to women during pregnancy, labor and delivery.
