Jeremy Vuolo

Earlier this week, fans were convinced that Jinger Duggar had secretly given birth thanks to a cryptic Instagram post shared by her husband, Jeremy Vuolo.

Jinger and Jeremy never confirmed the arrival with an announcement, and now we know there's very good reason for that ...

It's been over six months since the world learned that Jinger Duggar is pregnant with her first child.

The announcement came much later than expected, not only because Jinger broke the Duggar tradition of getting pregnant almost immediately after saying "I do," but also because she waited until her second trimester to share the news with fans.

Brace yourselves, reality TV fans and celebrity gossip followers:

Another member of the Duggar family will be joining us in the near future.

The narrative regarding Jinger Duggar's decision to wear pants in defiance of her family's dress code usually goes something like this:

Jinger married Jeremy Vuolo, and like a wizard granting freedom to a house elf, he gave her the gift of liberty in the form of an article of clothing.

Jinger Duggar is in the home stretch of her pregnancy.

But instead of worrying about the stretch marks to come, this reality star is simply focused on sharing every moment of her journey with fans around the Internet.

Big things are happening in Jinger Duggar's life these days.

In fact, some believe that all the exciting new developments in Jinger's world should take center-stage in the Duggar family's first spin-off series.

Jinger Duggar has long had a reputation as being the most rebellious member of her famous family.

Even before Jinger began wearing pants in direct violation of her parents' strict dress code, it was clear that she wouldn't be spending her adult years adhering to the lifestyle and belief system that's been foisted upon her siblings.

Counting On?

At this point for Jinger Duggar and her husband Jeremy Vuolo, it's more like counting DOWN these days.

Jinger Duggar is six months pregnant, and you know what that means.

Yes, it's time for yet another baby bump selfie!

It's been eighteen months since Jinger Duggar married Jeremy Vuolo, and to say a lot has changed in the reality star's life in that time would be to put it very mildly.

These days, Jinger is pregnant with her first child, and it seems she has every intention of following in her sisters' footsteps and raising a large family with husband Jeremy Vuolo.

Jinger Duggar isn't really all that close to having her baby.

The TLC star still has about 15 weeks to go.
