Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard remain parents of one to their son I*srael.
Speculations of another baby came about after Derick's teasing post on Twitter that "exciting things are happening in our family" and told fans to wait for further announcement. However, as it turns out, they are not expecting a new baby. Instead, Jill is now officially certified to help out those who are; intouchweekly.com reports.
Derick shared the exciting news through their family blog Friday afternoon, in a report by dailymail.co.uk.
"I am so proud of her for her diligence, perseverance, and hard work to see this long road through to its end and reaching her goal of becoming a CPM," wrote Derrick about his wife on their blog.
"The whole process, including various course work, lots of studying, tests, research, clinicals, sleepless nights with long labors, being on call for multiple births at a time, and the comprehensive test for full certification as a CPM, has finally culminated this week."
"This will be especially helpful on the mission field. The light at the end of the tunnel was always there, but we just hadn't seen it until recently."
Derrick then added; "And if anybody knows how much hard work it has been for her, it's me. Jill has been very disciplined and sacrificed a lot to get to this point."
"So much so, that I don't have the capacity within this brief blog post to give all the details to do it justice."
The celebrating family happily shared a photo of Derrick, Jill, and baby I*srael beside a personalized sign that read; "Congrats Jill! Soooo excited for you! Great job!"
Jill's sister, Jessa, took to Twitter to extend her excitement over the good news: "Congrats to my sister!"
This great news couldn't come at a more opportune time after the scandalous past months that the family went through involving son Josh.
Good job, Jill! Our biggest congratulations to you!
