Duggar Family '19 Kids and Counting' News: Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard Go On Vacation Ahead of Son's Arrival

"19 Kids and Counting" star Jill Duggar and her husband Derick Dillard went on a vacation in Texas this week ahead of her due date.

Dillard posted a picture of them on Instagram on Wednesday, March 18. In the picture, Derick, wearing a red shirt that proclaims "This Guy is Going to Be a Daddy" and a white "Rookie Dad" baseball hat, has his hand on Jill's stomach.

"We had a great time with family on vacation, but it doesn't look like we're going to have a Texas baby," he captioned the photo.

Earlier this week, Jill shared one of her last baby bump photos via Instagram. The reality star posed with a chalkboard that said "38 weeks and 5 days".

The couple also celebrated Derick's birthday earlier this month at Olive Garden. They also had another baby shower for their child, whom they nicknamed Baby Dilly, on the same day.

The pair's friends and family were at the restaurant on March 9 to celebrate, and Jill appears to have enjoyed the celebration very much as she wrote on Instagram, "Thank you @OliveGarden and Derick's church family for the baby shower today! We were so blessed! #babydilly #OliveGarden #babyshower."

A second Instagram photo showed off some of Derick's presents, which include a "You Can Do This Dad" onesie for the baby and a book titled "The Baby Owner's Manual."

Jill also posted a sweet message to her husband, as she captioned a photo: "Happy birthday @derickdillard to the man of my dreams! I love you more than ever and pray God continues to make you more like him every day! You are the sweetest, most Godly and caring husband! I'm so blessed to be married to you!"

Jill and Derick had their wedding in Springdale, Arkansas on June 21, 2014. Their child will be Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's fourth grandchild.
