Newlyweds Jill Duggar and husband Derick Dillard announced they were expecting their first child two months after getting married. The 23-year-old star of TLC's "19 Kids & Counting" recently dished on her pregnancy to ABC News and US Weekly.
Dillard admitted that her pregnancy has been a little rough joking that morning sickness should be called "pregnancy sickness."
"I've been having a lot of morning sickness," Duggar told ABC. "They should call it 'pregnancy sickness' because it's all day, but I'm feeling good today! I'm thanking God for this little life and the good signs. It's well worth it."
The reality star said her new hubby has been helping out a lot and keeps a "pregnancy bag" close by, packed with snacks and food Duggar might be craving.
"[Like my mother, I crave] things that are more sour to settle [my] stomach," she told ABC.
The couple said they are a long ways off from deciding on a baby name, but does have a cute little nickname for their little girl or boy: "Bab Dilly." Duggar explained to US Weekly that the unborn child earned that name because all the reality star craves are "dill pickles, lemon with salt, or lemon juice with water or salt."
"I like cold things [too]," Duggar added. "I don't like a lot of hot meals right now but I do try to get protein every two hours."
The soon-to-be midwife told the magazine that she has plans to have a natural birth at her home instead of at a hospital. Duggar said she thinks delivering at home is "way more relaxing... and having the baby at home with a midwife provides more of that personal care."
"It's more intimate for the couple as well, getting to be in your own environment," she said.
If you're eager to know the sex of the baby, you'll have to wait and tune in to the current season of "19 Kids & Counting." Duggar said she and Dillard will reveal the sex on the TLC show, but now she is too early in the pregnancy to find out.
"We appreciate all the well-wishes and are enjoying this new season of life as we look forward to parenthood," she said.
