Mark your calendars, ladies and gentlemen. The Duggar family is expanding quicker than you may have thought.

Almost five months after Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard announced they were expecting their first child, it appears we can already start a baby countdown.

In a new post on the family's Facebook, we're learning Jill is exactly 28 weeks and four days along. And according to the Duggars, that's enough to prepare for a delivery.

"Sweet picture of our Jill and her little one! At this point in gestation, there is now a 90% chance that he could survive outside the womb," the caption read. "Life is beautiful. We can't wait to meet this boy!"

Dang, this family is getting serious...and preparing well in advance!

As Jill and her husband eagerly wait for their bundle of joy, the happy couple is making time to have a little fun as well. Over the weekend, the twosome cheered on the Arkansas Razorbacks with a few close friends.

"We are having a great time at the razorback game today with Justin and Dan," Jill captioned on Instagram while showing off her baby bump and team spirit. "#WPS #NeverYield #GoHogsGo"

And while many are closely waiting for any baby updates, we can't help but look back at the Duggar family's recent holidays that featured one controversial gift.

16-year-old Jedidiah Duggar appeared to be holding a shotgun in the family home as a "Christ Is Born" poster hung in the living room.

The picture immediately sparked a gun debate on Facebook from viewers of the TLC reality show. But regardless of what the critics say, both parents love and admire their son.

"Happy 16th Birthday Jedidiah & Jeremiah! You both are incredible sons who have a deep love for God, and a desire to make a difference in this world," the parents wrote last week on Facebook. "Jed we see that you are diligent to share your faith and what Jesus has done in your life….We love you both very much."
