Make room for one more Duggar!
Newlyweds Jill & Derick Dillard, who tied the knot just 8 weeks ago, are expecting their first child! The couple share their big news on the cover of this week's PEOPLE magazine, saying, "We're having a baby! We are so excited."
The 23-year-old mom-to-be recalls the day she finally got her positive pregnancy test, saying she'd taken quite a few tests only to be disappointed. Then one day while at her parents Michelle and Jim-Bob Duggar's house, her sisters talked her into trying one of their mom's test. So she did, and the rest is history!
"It was surreal," says Derick. "We were shocked. Both of us are so excited."
It's been a whirlwind romance for the happy couple: They fell in love online, emailing and Skyping for a few months before they finally met face-to-face late last year when Jill and her dad traveled to Nepal, where Derick was doing missionary work. By April they were engaged, and on June 21 they said "I do" - and shared their very first kiss - in front of 1,000 well-wishers. The baby on the way is due next March, so by the time they celebrate their first anniversary they'll be a family of three!
Jill's big clan - she's the 4th oldest of the Duggars' 19 children - are looking forward to welcoming yet another member.
"About 30 days after Jill and Derick got married they gathered everyone in the living room and shared the news," Jim Bob, 49, reveals. "Everyone was clapping and cheering, and we were in shock, too."
Talk about a lot of very important life changes in just a short amount of time! I had the very opposite of a whirlwind romance: My husband and I were together for 12 years, engaged for 2 of those and married for 3, before we finally welcomed our first baby.
How long were you with your partner before you became parents?
These other celebs had babies while they were young, too!
