He's finally here!
Jill Duggar and husband Derick Dillard finally welcomed their baby boy, Israel David Dillard, on Monday, weighing in at 9lbs, 10z.
The "19 Kids and Counting" star tied the knot with Dillard in June 2014 ... and two months later the couple announced they were expecting their first child. While the newlyweds planned for a home birth, their son was born in a hospital due to his late arrival.
According to the Duggar family's official website, "Dilly" "made his debut just 11 minutes short of two weeks past his due date."
The 23-year-old mother has been extremely open about her pregnancy, sharing photos of her growing baby bump along the way. Just a few weeks back, Jill couldn't hide her anticipation with her fans in one of her blog posts.
"We look forward to meeting our little man soon, seeing his features, cuddling with and kissing him, and we are as ready as we can be for now until God decides to bring him out," she said in March.
Israel's birth will air on TLC on May 5, just in time for Jill to celebrate her first Mother's Day.
Congrats to the growing Dillard Family!
