19 Kids and Counting star Jill Duggar is pregnant with her first child, wasting little time with her new husband Derick Dillard. Seriously. They wed on June 21! The religious couple famously saved their first kiss EVER for that day, in accordance with their beliefs. Clearly, they figured out the rest in short order. From the moment they were introduced by her father Jim Bob, Derick 25, and Jill, 23, felt a connection that grew quickly and powerfully. The rest is history. Their love story, thanks to their TLC show and the smitten couple’s own postings on Instagram, is one that we’ve been able to follow every step of the way. What a wonderful trip it’s been to join in on, too. Here, we look back at the Arkansas duo’s journey, from that first time on Skype to their first meeting in Nepal, their magical road to the altar and soon, family: Jill Duggar & Derick Dillard Photos: True Love Timeline 1. Their First Meeting (Sort Of)! The Arkansas natives grew up within 45 minutes of each other, but didn’t meet until late 2011. Jill recalled when Derick stopped by while caroling with a church group, and not long after, “Derick contacted my dad and asked if he would be a prayer partner during his two-year term in Nepal.”
Good news, as the old adage goes, has a tendency to travel fast. Especially with a family as tight-knit, and huge, as the Duggars. Such was the case with the fact that Jill Duggar is pregnant after just a few weeks of marriage. She and husband Derick Dillard knew they couldn’t keep that secret. They didn’t even try. Jill and Derick were busy spreading the word almost as soon as they saw that positive pregnancy test. Her parents? Shocked! In a good way. “There is a lot of joy,” Michelle Duggar gushed. Jill’s father, Jim Bob Duggar, says though he was shocked about the news, he knows the newly-married duo he set up will be wonderful parents. “Jill has been such a wonderful sister to her brothers and sisters,” he says. “She always makes activities for the kids, looks for ways to make a dull project fun.” “And Derick is going to be a wonderful father.” Derick’s family is often overshadowed by the Duggars, but mom Cathy, 57, now cancer-free after intensive chemotherapy, was moved to tears. “I was unable to be involved in any of the wedding preparations for Jill and Derick,” she says. “And so I am really looking forward to helping [with] the baby!” Cathy, who was adopted but has two sons in Derick and his brother, is excited to have a third blood relative. A lot fewer than Jill has, but just as special. SO Many Duggars 1. A Duggar Family Pic Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are still working on that 20th kid. Fortunately, Jill is in good hands when it comes to carrying her first baby . If there’s anyone who knows what it’s like to be pregnant, it’s mom Michelle … “I have said to Jill, ‘When you feel sick and so tired, remember you are growing another person inside of you and this is a good reason to be sick.'” “For me, I would try to sit down and rest whenever I was sick while pregnant. You have to do what you have to do. The end result is so worth it.” There’s also no shortage of babysitters around. “I am up for it if they need help,” says Jill’s brother Jedidiah, 15. “I am so excited for Jill and Derick and I know they are going to make wonderful parents.” “Jill has always wanted to be a mom. She is perfect for it. And Derick is a wonderful guy, he will be a good dad. He will be amazing. We’re so happy.” Congratulations again to the happy couple, and to Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald , who just got engaged this month after 11 months of courting!

Alright pervs, move it along, there’s nothing to see here. Because yes, even though Madonna’s daughter Lourdes Leon is apparently celebrating her high school graduation with a bikini vacation in France, she’s still a couple months away from turning 18, according to my sources. Which means you’re still a few months away from being allowed to celebrate too. Photos: Fameflynet
You’ve got to hand it to the Dodgers. While all the other teams out there are getting CEOs and “celebrities” to toss out their first pitches, the Dodgers went and got a super-hot supermodel in Chrissy Teigen to throw out theirs in LA the other night. I know Chrissy’s made the cover of Sports Illustrated before and all, but I wasn’t sure how this would go. After watching the video below though, I’ve gotta say, I’m impressed. Chrissy’s got a good set of legs on her. Oh, and uh, I guess her arm’s not bad either. Sorry, were we supposed to be paying attention to that part? I guess I’d better watch it again. And then maybe 4 or 5 more times just to be safe. » view all 13 photos Photos: WENN.com
