Is Jill Duggar Dillard Pregnant With Her Second Baby? ‘Counting On’ Star Sparks Buzz As Fans Go On Baby Bump Watch
Fans of Jill Duggar Dillard and Derick Dillard from Counting On and 19 Kids and Counting are anxious for some fresh baby news. Rumors have swirled for months now that Jill might be pregnant, but so far, nothing official has emerged on this front. It was recently revealed that Jessa Duggar Seewald and her husband, Ben, are expecting their second child, and many have a hunch that Israel will be welcoming a baby brother or sister not too far down the road as well. What caused fans to buzz about a possible baby on the way this time?
Just a few days ago, Jill Duggar Dillard posted a photo on Instagram showing her working on a laptop and eating what she says is one of her favorite snacks. She said that her husband, Derick, had brought her a bowl of green beans with salt and vinegar, which she notes is a family favorite snack that she has loved since she was a child. However, it did not take her followers long to wonder if this was a baby hint.
As many 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On fans will remember, this snack of green beans was something Jill noted as a craving during her pregnancy with Israel. The Dillards recently moved back to the United States after living in Central America for quite some time. This move quickly sparked speculation that the family had headed home in part to work on a second pregnancy but avoid any risks that may have come due to the spread of the Zika virus in the area where they had been.
It doesn’t sound as if Jill and Derick are hiding the fact that they are looking toward adding a sibling for Israel, as the two can be seen in previews for the new season of Counting On discussing this very thing. As People notes, clips show them talking about their goals and they seem to agree that they are anxious to have another baby. However, when asked directly by a producer if she is pregnant, Dillard simply smiles and notes that people frequently ask this very question, without really giving an answer.
During her pregnancy with Israel, Jill and Derick shared their baby news very early, earlier than most would feel comfortable revealing this kind of thing. Are the Dillards going with a different approach this time and waiting a bit longer to make an announcement? If they are already expecting and waiting a bit, is it because of the feedback they will surely get about possibly conceiving while in Central America? Are they just waiting for the right opportunity to publicize the scoop?
Given the fact that Jill and Derick are openly talking about having another baby relatively soon, it’s hard for Counting On fans to not suspect that the green beans picture is a sign of baby news on the way. There doesn’t seem to be any hint of a baby bump in that last photo, but Jill hasn’t posted many photos lately that would reveal much about a baby bump being present, and people will surely be analyzing every photo going forward to look for clues.
It most certainly sounds like it’s a matter of when, not if, Derick and Jill share pregnancy news regarding a baby brother or sister for Israel. Is Duggar Dillard pregnant already, and waiting for the right time to announce, or is this second addition still just in the planning stages? Counting On airs Tuesday nights on TLC, and the family’s supporters cannot wait to see what comes next for Jill Duggar Dillard, Derick, Israel, and the rest of the family.
