Congratulations are in order for Jill Duggar, 23, and Derick Dillard, 25.
The 19 Kids and Counting stars welcomed their first child – son Israel David – on Monday, April 6, PEOPLE reports.
Weighing in at 9 lbs., 10 oz., their baby boy arrived 11:49 p.m. Monday night.
The reality stars shared a shot of Jill’s overdue baby bump (41 weeks, 4 days) on Saturday.
And on Friday, the couple enjoyed some spicy Mexican food for lunch.
“[Maybe this] will make the baby come! Only Braxton Hicks contractions with this weather so far,” she shared. “We shall see what the weekend brings! #nobabyyet #lunchwithmyhubby.”
Just hours earlier, Dillard blogged that Duggar was in labor.
In Dillard’s lengthy blog, he shared his feelings on his impending fatherhood, comparing his baby’s forthcoming birth to the uncertainty of the “end times” spoken about in the Bible.
“I can’t even describe right now the anticipation I am feeling, as I am about to get to meet my firstborn son for the first time face to face,” he wrote. “So many people have already testified that nothing can quite describe that moment and that I’ll just have to experience it for myself.”
He added: “Now that I’m about to be a dad, I find it quite interesting that Jesus related the end of the world to the event of birth. And it’s easy to relate to because as much as Jill and I want to know when this birth will happen, the day and the hour of baby dilly’s birth is definitely unknown.”
Proud stepmom LeAnn Rimes shared a family photo via Instagram on Easter Sunday.
“Happy #Easter from the Cibs! #lotsofloveandlaughs,” the country singer, 32, captioned the image with husband Eddie Cibrian and his two sons: Mason, 11, and Jake, 7.
In a series of family photos, the LeAnn & Eddie star posted some pics from their Easter long weekend and Spring Break vacation.
“Well, here’s the first #gratuitousbikinipic #RVlife @lulifamaswimwear #oldiebutagoodie one of my favorite fitting swimsuits EVER! I always have the camera taking pics of everyone else so this is what you get…til tmrw great first day of #springbreak2015,” the Blue singer captioned a bikini selfie.
The boys’ mother is Eddie’s ex-wife, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville.

Emilia Clarke covers the May issue of Vogue UK as a blonde. Interestingly enough, Emilia doesn’t dye her hair blonde for Game of Thrones, and she didn’t go magically blonde for this Vogue shoot either. She’s wearing a wig on the cover. Why did they do that? So she would look more like Daenerys? Because people don’t always recognize her as a brunette? It’s a weird choice. In the Vogue shoot, Emilia just looks really sleepy and I feel sort of sorry for her. This is her first big Vogue shoot and the styling is just kind of… blah. Some highlights from the interview:
GoT sex scenes: ‘We’ve been able to take it to a very real level. It was never pretending to be a show for kids! It’s gritty in a good, realistic way.’
Living in a hotel in Belfast: “I went back to Game of Thrones and it was like coming home. Just the smell of the hotel in Belfast made me feel safe. I told myself, forget the big game plan; all I want is to do jobs that make me happy.”
What her family thinks of GoT: “When I first read the scripts, I was on holiday with my family. I told my dad, you’re not going to be able to watch the first five episodes.”
[From Vogue UK]
It’s funny that she didn’t want her parents to watch the first episodes. GoT is such a cultural phenomenon that I would suspect that all of the actors’ parents are obsessed with the show and family members are always trying to pry information out of their children.
Emilia also sat down with THR to talk about what would happen if Daenerys ever met some of the men of the show, like Jamie Lannister (Emilia says Dany would “bed” him), Tyrion (she says Dany would probably like him) and John Snow. She even responds to the R+L=J rumor/theory – go here to watch the video.
