Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard finally revealed the gender of their upcoming kid, and it's going to be a baby boy. The first announcement about Jilll's second pregnany was made in December 2016. The couple revealed the news through a scavenger hunt with Jill's younger siblings.

In a video posted by TLC, Jill Duggar is seen to be excited about the arrival of her second son, and for Israel Dillard to have a brother. Derick admitted that while their firstborn doesn't really understand what's going on, Israel is still excited since he can pick up the excitement from the rest of the family, as per Refinery 29.

Jill Duggar gave birth to Israel in 2015 via an emergency C-section after 70 hours of labor. Back then, she confessed that she had morning sickness often during the initial stages of pregnancy. In the same video, Jill admitted that she was experiencing the same thing as well with her second pregnancy, but she's now feeling better as she is already in her second trimester, US Weekly reported.

While Jill Duggar and Derick's second son is due in July, he'll already have a playmate not just with his brother Israel but also with Jessa Duggar's second child. Jessa and her husband Ben Seewald are expecting their second kid, although their gender has been kept under wraps for now.

Jill and Derick are confident that Israel will be a great brother to their unborn child. Jill Duggar shares that their son likes babies, but does need reminders that he needs to be gentler with them. The couple also expressed their gratefulness for having another baby added to their family. "We are thankful to God for this sweet child," the couple declared in their announcement video before they did the gender reveal. See more of Jill and Derick on "Counting On."
