“The next Dillard baby is a boy,” the happy couple, who are also parents of son Israel, 21 months, revealed together in the clip. Dillard, 27, continued, “Israel didn’t really understand what was happening but he’s just excited because other people are excited, so he’s just excited about his new little baby brother.”

“We’re really excited about having another son,” Duggar, 25, added. “I know that Israel and this little one will be best friends. … Our pregnancy so far, I had morning sickness in the first trimester and now I’m feeling a lot better in my second trimester. Thank y’all for your well-wishes. We’re so excited about this new blessing from God.”
