(Duggar family official Facebook page)Jill Duggar will be welcoming Baby Dilly anytime now.

Jill Duggar was due on Tuesday, March 24 and excited fans of "19 Kids And Counting" have been waiting with bated breath for the brown-haired lady to give birth to her first child. However, Jill told People that there are actually two due dates for baby Dilly, one on March 24 and the other on April 5.

23-year-old Jill admitted to experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions, which is normally experienced by heavily pregnant women during the later stages of pregnancy. The excited mom-to-be told the magazine that, "I have told myself, 'First-time moms often go a week and a half over, so don't get discouraged'". Dillard said that the baby will come when it comes.

Jill has already delivered around 30 babies as a professional mid-wife and is studying to be one. She is giving her exams later this year and finds it exciting to study about what she is currently going through. She has been keeping fans up-to-date about her pregnancy, posting pictures of herself with a chalkboard that highlights the number of weeks she has crossed.

While Derick and Jill wait in eager anticipation of baby Dilly's arrival, what about her sister Jessa and Ben Seewald? The couple wed in November 2014 and have expressed their plans to adopt children. However, as per the law, a couple needs to be married for at least two years before considering adoption.

Fresh rumors have surfaced that Jessa is actually pregnant and will announce the big news any day now. OK! Magazine reports that a mysterious picture of the pair was uploaded to a "19 Kids And Counting" Facebook fan page in which Ben is seen holding Jessa's stomach. It appears the photograph was taken while the duo were shooting and Ben is seen making a heart with his hands on his wife's stomach. Jessa has been mum about the pregnancy rumors, choosing to ignore it.

"19 Kids And Counting" airs on Tuesdays on TLC at 9 p.m. ET.
