“We’re having a baby!” Jill told People. “We are so excited.”
The two were married June 21 at an event that drew more than 1,000 people. Their wedding will be featured on “19 Kids and Counting” on Sept. 2 on TLC.
The show’s website features an exclusive first look at the first Duggar family child to get married, and in that video, mother Michelle Duggar admitted she was looking forward to grandbabies.
Her wish is coming true.
Jill Dillard told People that she had taken several negative pregnancy tests, and her sisters pushed her to take another test when she was visiting them. It was positive.
"It was surreal," Derick Dillard told People. "We were shocked. Both of us are so excited."
Jim Bob Duggar, Jill Dillard’s father, told People the couple announced the advent of the Duggar’s next grandchild at a family gathering just 30 days after they were married.
"About 30 days after Jill and Derick got married they gathered everyone in the living room and shared the news," he told People. "Everyone was clapping and cheering, and we were in shock, too."
The baby is due in March.
The couple got numerous “congratulations” on social media, but many also commented on how quickly this pregnancy occurred.
Right after the couple was married, one tweet on June 23 even pre-called the quick pregnancy:
