— -- When Jill and Derick Dillard revealed that they were expecting their first child in August, she said she hoped the baby would be a boy, while he was crossing his fingers for a girl.

Jill got her wish.

"We're having a boy!" they announced.

This is the first baby for the couple, who were wed in June. Last month, Jill, 23, announced that she had just entered her second trimester -- a relief, considering the rough morning sickness with which she's been faced.

Tune in to TLC tonight for an exclusive look at the couple's reaction when they heard their recent baby news.

"They should call it 'pregnancy sickness' because it's all day, but I'm feeling good today!" she told ABC News in August. "I'm thanking God for this little life and the good signs. It's well worth it."

Meanwhile, she and her husband are already making a birth plan (yes, she'd like to deliver the baby at home) and brainstorming names for their little one.

"We're still pretty early right now but we’re thinking we may not do a letter theme," she said. "Maybe we'll do some other kind of theme!"
