Countdown to Baby

How Jill and Derick Dillard Are Getting Ready for Their Little One?

Get out the booties, blankets and birthing tub, "Baby Dilly" is weeks away.

The newest addition to the expansive Duggar clan featured on TLC's hit reality show 19 Kids & Counting is due in March – and his parents Jill and Derick Dillard are getting into ready-mode, they tell PEOPLE exclusively. "Baby Dilly" is the nickname the couple has been calling the baby throughout her pregnancy.

"I feel great, I feel really good," says Jill, 23. "He's moving around a lot and doing a lot of rolling."
She and her husband Derick, 25, revealed her pregnancy exclusively to PEOPLE two months after their June 21, 2014, wedding. They attended birthing classes and now that she's at 35 weeks, they're getting the house ready for their planned home birth.

"We're getting the birthing pool, things like that," says Derick. "We have a bassinet and a crib."

While Jill has years of experience with babies as a sibling to 18 kids, she is also a midwife. Along with her midwives, her sister Jana, 25, will be available for support, she says.

"And my sisters, mom and Derick's mom are available as errand runners," she says.

Jill's younger sister Jessa, 22, who was married Nov. 1, and her husband, Ben Seewald, 19, shared their hope to adopt children as well as have biological children of their own – something that Jill and Derick have also said they would like to do. But in the meantime, they are ready to welcome their new boy into the world.

Derick, who has just one sibling – his younger brother, Daniel – says he is looking forward to both of them changing their first diaper.

"I think my brother will be a great uncle," Derick says. "He has as much baby experience as I do, but he has lined things up already, planning to take our son camping someday. We'll both get to change our first diaper."

Derick and Jill Dillard update!

1. The Dillards' son, whom they have affectionately nicknamed Baby Dilly, is due March 24th, which is less than a month away.

2. Jana Duggar and a team of midwives will deliver Baby Dilly at the Dillards' home.

3. Jill says she feels fabulous and that their son is very active.

4. The Dillards are prepared with a birthing tub, a bassinet, a crib, and gifts received from family, friends, and fans.

5. Derick has never changed a diaper, while Jill has changed hundreds (perhaps thousands).

6. Dan Dillard, Derick's brother, is already planning to take his nephew camping (but not right away).

Jessa and Ben Seewald update!

In the recent blogs, we announced that Ben and Jessa gave an interview to People magazine. Here is a few updates for Ben and Jessa!

1. Jessa and Ben honeymooned in Paris, Rome, and Venice.

2. They are now renting the house that Josh and Anna lived in before moving to Washington D.C. Who is their landlord? Grandma Mary Duggar! The house is minutes away from Jim Bob and Michelle and about 30 minutes from Jill and Derick.

3. Ben completed an associate's degree and is considering attending seminary in hopes of becoming a pastor someday. He currently works for Jim Bob.

4. Jessa is not pregnant (yet).

5. The Seewalds researched adoption but discovered that most agencies require a couple to be married for two years before adopting. Still, they hope to adopt "a lot of kids," as Jessa puts it.

6. Jessa and Ben are considering purchasing a TV to watch football and "a cooking show every now and then," but for now, they watch television shows, such as The Andy Griffith Show, online.

Jessa's bridesmaid dresses arrive in the mail and all the girls are a little hesitant. Jessa chose the "Ellie" Modest Dress in Coral Rose, which costs $50 per gown. Michelle gets the dresses steam so the girls can try them on when Josie sings "Here comes the bride, all fat and while."
Jana reveals that she doesn't like the dress but comes ot to show her sister. Joy reveals that it's hard to find a dress that will fit 10 different people and still look good. The dress comes to the calf and it's awkard lengt which means that they are going to need to do some alterations to make them work.
"When it comes down to it, if you really want to do something else, I'll just leave it with y'all," Jessa says. "You can return them all and order your own dresses. I'm not really picky. It would be nice if they stuck with the dresses that I have chosen, but I guess we'll see.
Derick and Jill are heading off to see their baby for the first time at their midwife appintoment. Jill is learning how to do midwife and is 12 weeks pregnant right now.

Ben had asked the girls to send him photos of Jessa trying on the gowns so Joy snaps all of the dresses that Jessa doesn't likes to send them to Ben.
"I guess for me on my end, because I'm still parenting, [the time] has flown," says Guinn Seewald (Ben's mom). "But I know for the courting couple, I think it has been a long process. I'm sure they're quite ready."
Guinn sits down with Michelle to seek advice about the upcoming wedding. Ben is the oldest of the seven children that Guinn and Michael had. Michelle reminds her to be joyful during this time. Michelle said that if she thought about it by next year Michelle and Guinn will be expecting a Seewald grandbaby which shcokes her and she reminds Michelle to stay on the wedding.

Jessa and Ben Seewald's Relationship Dos and Don'ts

Ben and Jessa sat down with people and did many interviews about their relationship, family, and their marriage

Ben and Jessa have only been married for a little over three months but they are giving some advice about what they have learned so far.

"Ben is the best for sure at saying 'Sweetheart, we need to talk about this' if he senses I am irritated or upset about something," says Jessa Seewald revealed to people and then add "It's important not to turn away,"

"The most important thing is humility and putting the other person first," he says. "I try to make that my perspective – I'm here to serve her and help her. What can I do to make her life easier?"

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE at their home in Springdale, Arkansas, the newest Seewalds have much more to share on what they've learned – and say they are learning.

DO: TALK IT THROUGH
"It's important not to build walls or turn away from hard topics," says Jessa. "Not like, 'I am going to take my feelings and close off from you and build a little wall there.' The 'I'm-going-to-show-you attitude' really hurts. It's always best to open up and talk about things."

DON'T: YELL OR SCREAM
While yelling is "not the tendency" in the Seewald home, Jessa says, she also cautions that not being willing to talk about an issue can be problematic.

"Clamming up is just as bad [as yelling], she says.
DO: BUDGET
"We have been thinking about finances a lot lately," says Ben, who says he and Jessa want to avoid getting into debt and try not to waste money.

In addition to Duggar-type bargain hunting – Jim Bob and Michelle have often discussed their goal to "buy used and save the difference" on their show – Ben insists that giving money away is also important to the couple.

"If God blesses us with money, we want to find ways to give it to others who need help," he says.

DON'T: SKIP DATE NIGHT
Jessa says that Ben takes her out on date nights "sometimes twice a week" to romantic dinners or trips to the local ice cream parlor.

"Dates are investing in our marriage," Ben says. "That's a good way to spend our money."

Jessa and Ben Seewald Talk About Life as Newlyweds to PEOPLE Magazine

On the last season of "19 Kids and Counting," we watched the relationship between Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald grow. We saw Ben nervously ask Jessa's father for permission to court, plan a series of sweet dates (with chaperones, of course!), and move in to the Duggar's home. And at the end of last season, Ben orchestrated one incredibly romantic scavenger hunt proposal -- and Jessa said yes!

This past November, Jessa, 22, and Ben, 19, tied the knot in front of 1,000 people in Bentonville, Arkansas. (Don't worry, you'll get to see the lovely event later this season!) They've moved out of the Duggar home and are definitely enjoying life as newlyweds.

Jessa and Ben recently sat down with PEOPLE magazine to discuss their new, quieter life together as well as their big plans for the future. Ben, who himself is no stranger to large families (he is one of seven siblings), and Jessa have found it tough to get used to living in a less chaotic environment. "One thing I've had to adjust to," Jessa told PEOPLE, "is not having my siblings around - especially my sisters because we are so close."

But based on all of the Instagram pictures of the happy couple, they seem to be savoring their newfound alone time.

Jessa and Ben are also excited to grow their own family. And they've got plenty of older siblings to consult when it comes to parenting tips. Jessa's older brother Josh and his wife Anna are expecting their fourth child this year and Jessa's older sister Jill, who was married last summer, is pregnant with her first child. However, Jessa and Ben are considering going a different route.

"We hope to adopt a lot of kids," Jessa tells PEOPLE. "If God blesses us with biological kids of our own, it's not going to quench our desire to adopt."

Jill's secret trivia questions!

We are back with trivia questions and we will have answers on Tuesday morning.

5.  What did Jessa say about if the girls didn't like the dresses?

Ben and Jessa's exclusive interview!

From the start of their courtship, Ben and Jessa have been making their own rules. At their wedding, they decided that they were going to have their first kiss in private rather in front of family and friends. It was very different from how Josh and Anna along with Derick and Jill did their first kiss.
Ben and Jessa sat down with People magazine to talk about their marriage and how they have been adjusting to it. The new season started tonight.
"One thing I've had to adjust to," Jessa said to People then added "is not having my siblings around – especially my sisters because we are so close (to Ben) But I am so happy to be married to you."
Jessa is the third daughter of the couple and settled into their new home with her husband Ben. It was revealed on the recent episode that it's the first home of Josh and Anna which they lived there for five years and welcomed all three of their children.
For Jessa and Ben Seewald's exclusive home interview, as well as the latest on Jill and Derick Dillard's birth plans, pick up this week's issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday
