Back when the couple was pregnant with Samuel, they chose a boys outfit to announce their baby's gender.
Just a few days ago, Derick and Jill shared a new blog post revealing that their third child would also be a boy.

We are so excited to share that Derick and Jill have welcomed their second child into the world today, July 8, 2017. He was born at 1:02pm.
Derick and Jill packed up their growing family and returned to the mission field on February 17, 2017. Derick and Jill shared an update on how life is going right now in Central America on their website. Derick and Jill are planning to stay there for a few months before their July due date!
The Dillards are heading to Central America after being home since August 2016.
