False alarm!

19 Kids and Counting star Jill Duggar is not in labor — yet. After husband Derick Dillard shared a lengthy blog post Friday comparing his wife’s contractions to “end times,” Duggar clarified that she was simply experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions.

“Out to lunch…maybe this spicy Mexican food will make the baby come!” Duggar Instagrammed an image of herself with Dillard on Good Friday. “Only Braxton Hicks contractions with this weather so far. We shall see what the weekend brings! #nobabyyet #lunchwithmyhubby.”

In Dillard’s 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.”
