Baby Dilly is on the way!

After sharing a Bible verse about “the womb,” 19 Kids and Counting star Derick Dillard confirmed on Friday, April 3, that his wife Jill Duggar is in labor.

The dad-to-be, 26, spilled the beans on Good Friday, describing in detail how he feels about the impending arrival of his baby boy.

“My wife, Jill, is beginning to have contractions which means that the birth of our son is near,” he wrote in a blog post titled, Jill’s Labor and My Understanding of 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 continued. “So many people have already testified that nothing can quite describe that moment and that I’ll just have to experience it for myself. When I look around, I can see new life everywhere. The trees are budding, which means summer is near.”

He added: “In Matthew 24, Jesus uses the pictures of both a laboring mother and a budding fig tree in spring to relate to people how events surrounding the last days of earth – ‘end times events’ (i.e. famine, wickedness, false teaching, rumors of war, the testimony of Jesus going to all the world) will transpire. If you don’t know Jesus, and your uncertainty of the end of the world scares you, I urge you to consider the words of Jesus, repent of your sin, and live your life for God.”

The reality star also talked about his wife’s contractions.

“From what I’ve learned in birth class (as well as from Jill, who is a student midwife) and from what I am witnessing right now with Jill, labor pains start sporadically and then become more consistent, longer lasting, and stronger the closer we get to the birth of our son,” he wrote. “Again, it’s important to remember that we don’t know when he will be born, but we can definitely see the evidence that points to his imminent arrival, whenever that might be. This is the perfect picture of how ‘end times’ events will play out.”

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,” he wrote. “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.”

The couple shared an updated baby bump photo on Mar. 27 when Jill was 40 weeks, 2 days pregnant.
