The happy couple, whose baby is due in March, reportedly didn't find out the news until after several pregnancy tests came back negative. Jill's sisters allegedly convinced her to take one of their mother Michelle's tests when they were visiting Michelle and husband Jim Bob at their home, and that's when a positive test turned up.
"It was surreal," said Derick, who had proposed in April. "We were shocked. Both of us are so excited."
Jill, 23, and Derick, 25, apparently didn't hesitate to make their big family announcement.
"About 30 days after Jill and Derick got married they gathered everyone in the living room and shared the news," Jill's father Jim Bob, 49, told People. "Everyone was clapping and cheering, and we were in shock, too."
The parents-to-be wed in Springdale, AR, and celebrated with over 1,000 guests from more than 30 states at the reception. Jill and Derick's wedding will be featured on all-new episodes of TLC's hit reality show 19 Kids and Counting, which will begin airing on September 2 at 9PM ET/PT.
