"The next Dillard baby is a boy! We're so excited," she and Dillard said in the clip. "We're really excited about having another son, and I know that Israel and this little one will be best friends."

"My pregnancy so far -- I had morning sickness in the first trimester and now I'm feeling a lot better in my second trimester," Duggar added. "Thank y'all for your well wishes, and we're so excited about this new little blessing from God."

Duggar and Dillard are already parents to 21-month-old son Israel. The couple, who married in 2014, said in an interview with People in December that the new baby is due in July.

"We are so excited to be expecting Dillard baby #2!" the pair gushed at the time. "Children really are a wonderful blessing from God."

"Having Israel has been such a delight to us that we know a second sweet baby will only continue to add joy to our family. We are thankful to God for this sweet child and we cannot wait to see her or him face to face!" they added.

Duggar's sister Jessa Duggar is also pregnant and expecting her second child with husband Ben Seewald. The Duggars came to fame on the TLC series 19 Kids & Counting, and presently star on Jill & Jessa: Counting On.
