Duggars '19 Kids and Counting' News: Jill Duggar Birth Plans - Will Deliver Baby at Home

"19 Kids and Counting" star and family member Jill Duggar, together with her husband Derick Dillard, took to their social media to show how their family were preparing for their first child in a quite unique way.

The 23-year-old Duggar got pregnant weeks after she tied the knot with the 25-year-old missionary last June. As what they have promised to accept and duly guide their children in the ways of God, the couple wrote out Bible verses by hand for support and encouragement during labor and delivery.

Among the many write-ups that are shown in their Instagram posts include verses from Isaiah 26:3, which reads: "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You."

Another favorite quote from the Old Testament, taken particularly from 1 Chronicles 4:10, reads: "Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, 'Oh, that You would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let Your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.' And God granted this request."

The couple not only cited Bible verses but Gospel song lyrics, as well.

Seen are lyrics of Chris Tomlin's 2004 song "How Great is Our God" and a hymnal favorite "I Will Serve Thee."

The Dillards, who still haven't revealed the sex of their upcoming baby, have opted to deliver their first offspring at the comfort of their home.

A professionally-trained midwife herself, Jill already has set plans for her baby's arrival.

"I think home birth is really special because you are in your own environment," she told People magazine. "You don't have to pick up, move and have that stall labor. I am looking forward to having the calm, intimate setting of being home."
