It’s only been a month since the world learned the happy news that Amy Duggar is pregnant with her very first child.
Amy may be an "unconventional" Duggar when compared to her innumerable cousins, but she’s doing right by her fans.
She’s keeping fans up to date on her pregnancy. At 19 weeks, that means a new look at her baby bump!
Wearing what appears to be a black maternity blouse, Amy snapped a mirror selfie that shows off her leopard print phone case.
But despite her dazzling smile of joy, the focus is on her torso, where a very clear baby bump has begun to emerge.
"I see you little bump!!" Amy writes in the caption of her post, shared on Instagram.
In case anyone had lost track, she announces: "19 weeks today!!"
Take a look at this precious pic and see for yourself:
Oh wow! This is happening.
In fact, this is not the first glimpse at Amy Duggar’s baby bump that fans have gotten to glimpse.
Last time, it was merely a shadow of a bump.
Some even dismissed the alleged sighting, attributing it to active imaginations and even wishful thinking.
This time, however, Amy wants everyone to see her precious little bump.
Back when Amy and Dillon announced this joyous pregnancy, they spoke about how thrilled they were.
"We are completely speechless, overly excited, and ready for the next chapter as new parents!" they gushed in April.
"The learning curve of being a new father is kind of terrifying," Dillon admitted. "But at the same time equally astonishing."
That sounds like a very healthy attitude.
"I’m over the moon about becoming a momma!" Amy raved. "I just can’t hardly wait!"
Amy really stands out from her infamous family in a number of ways.
For one thing, she was born in 1986 and is prepared to have her first child at a normal age, and not at an age when most are in college.
For another, she dated — yes, dated — at least six different men before getting married to Dillon King.
Amy was also not shy about mentioning that she did not want to wait until she tied the know to bone. Boning, it turns out, is fun.
It’s now been, what, three and a half entire years since they got married, and only now is she pregnant.
That’s all super normal, but in the Duggar world, she might as well be walking backwards on her hands.
(Would it be weird to buy a pregnancy pillow if you aren’t pregnant and are, in fact, a man with no uterus to be found? She makes them look comfy)
It’s Amy’s differences from her famous relatives that make this pregnancy news so simply happy.
Her child can have a real chance at a normal life, as part of society instead of only tangentially connected to it.
That’s why Amy is and has been a fan favorite for so long.
She illustrates how someone can grow up in that controversial family and still lead a fulfilling life.
