Jill Duggar's baby bump debuts on Instagram: Hello Baby Dilly!

Congratulations are in order for Mr. and Mrs. Derick Dillard. In about six months, more or less, the couple will be welcoming their first baby—Baby Dilly as they call it. The couple willingly made the announcement via Instagram.

Apparently, Jill is already 11 weeks pregnant and her baby bump is starting to show. But no worries, Jill and Derick aren't hiding it anyway.  In fact, they're sharing the good news with the world. Derick uploaded the photo of Jill on his Instagram account.

The photo showed Jill back when she was five weeks along and compared it side-by-side to her photo in her 11th week of pregnancy. The photo was also captioned, "By the end of next week, all of our baby's body parts, from tooth buds to toenails, will be developing! #firsttrimesterprogression #babydilly #19kidsandcounting"

While every fan of "19 Kids and Counting" is very excited for the new couple's blessing, no one could be happier than Jill and Derick themselves. According to US Weekly, Jill said, "They should call it pregnancy sickness because it's all day, but I'm feeling good today! I'm thanking God for this little life and the good signs. It's well worth it."

Obviously, the first-time mom is overwhelmed with the morning sickness, and they are always bringing a pregnancy bag with them wherever they go. It is also said that Jill is craving for salty dill pickles or lemons with salt.

"I don't like a lot of hot meals right now but I do try to get protein every two hours," Jill adds.

The next thing to be excited about is knowing if Baby Dilly is a boy or girl. And the good news is that it will be featured in one of the episodes of "19 Kids and Counting." However, the exact episode remains a secret.
