"Time with the sistas! Due date has come and gone... guess babe just wants to hang out in there for a bit longer!" she captioned a photo of herself with her siblings and another friend.

Duggar and Seewald married in 2014 and welcomed their first child, son Spurgeon Elliot, the next year. The couple confirmed the reality star's second pregnancy in August.

"We are overjoyed to announce that Spurgeon has a new title in life as 'big brother!' We are so thankful that God is adding to our family," the pair said on their website.

"2017 is shaping up to be a wonderful year already and we know Spurgeon will do a great job in his new role," they added. "Having Spurgeon has been such a wonderful blessing and we cannot wait to see the face of this sweet new baby (or babies!)."

Duggar recently said in the Feb. 13 issue of People that she and Seewald want to have "many" more children in the future. The couple have been vocal in the past about wanting to adopt kids.

"Ben and I still have a deep desire to adopt, and it's something we continue to look into. We've also talked about fostering to adopt," the star told the magazine.

"[We want] many future babies," she said. "We're already going to have two babies in a two-bedroom house. So I'm thinking, we'll have to upgrade to a three-bedroom."
