In a double dose of 19 Kids and Counting Tuesday night, expectant first-time parents Jill and Derick Dillard continued their preparations for the birth of #BabyDilly.
Appropriate, given that after nearly 42 weeks of pregnancy, Jill Duggar gave birth to a health baby boy not even 24 hours before the episodes aired!
See below for the first photos of Israel David Dillard, her first child with husband Derick. For now, let's break down what happened on the TLC series ...
The birth of Israel came just in time, too. Jill's pregnancy dragged on so long that the newest Duggar's name was almost given away by the reality show!
Derick revealed they had the name Israel David picked out a long time ago, even if they (obviously) kept that detail out of all their Instagram updates.
If the youngster were a girl, she would be going by Saleah right now. Pretty.
When the Duggars welcome a new baby, an older "buddy team" is assigned to him or her so that they can bond with that child and look out for them.
They found out the gender first, along with Jill and Derick. The rest of the family learned it via a pinata, filled with blue candies as opposed to pink.
The sweetest part of the episode? Cathy Dillard, Derick's mom, received the gender news from Derick's brother, Dan, who drove 450 miles to tell her.
Recovering from a cancer treatment in Omaha, Nebraska, that must have been the nicest surprise anyone could've given her ... even if she wanted a girl.
Jill reflected on the fact that she was 25 weeks pregnant, which is how far along Michelle Duggar was when she prematurely gave birth to Josie-Brooklyn.
Michelle, of course, was in her mid-40s and had 18 kids at the time.
Anything can happen, Jill's right, but the odds of her experiencing anything similar were much slimmer. Just the same, the Dillards paid very close attention.
Meanwhile, with Jessa Duggar married to Ben Seewald and out of the house, the Duggar household needed organizing ... and someone to organize the Duggars.
Each child has a "designation," or set of chores they are always responsible for, and with Jessa gone, Joy-Anna Duggar was designated as the designator.
That did not make her the most popular Duggar on this night.
One of the Duggar boys said it best when it comes to chores, and which areas of the house are coveted: "The best jurisdiction … I don't think there is one."
Fair point, although some options have to be less terrible than others. Poor Jeremiah got tasked with the bathrooms, for example. Think about that.
There are nine of them in that big Arkansas house! Nine!
