Weeks following the arrival of baby Israel David Dillard in the lives of his father and mother, Derrick Dillard and 19 Kids and Counting star, Jill Duggar, the new mom shares the joys of parenting. Apart from being overjoyed about her new role as mother to baby Israel David, Jill also revealed how blessed she feels for having Derrick as her husband, according to People.
"I'm forever in LOVE with you!" Jill wrote in an Instagram post. "You're the best hubby and papa! I'm so blessed! Thank you for loving God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength! I'm your greatest admirer!"
Meanwhile, the new mom went on to share her advice to married women on how to make their relationships with their husbands grow stronger. "Ladies, we must continue to uplift our men in prayer. They need our support and respect!" she said. She also has words of wisdom for the men of the house. "Men, be the servant leader your wife will admire! She needs to hear how much you love her & not just weekly. Let her know it every day!" she advised.
"We are far from perfect, but my sweet Derick goes above and beyond "to love and to cherish" me!" she admitted. "Thank you babe for all you do!" Jill added.
Apart from sharing relationship advice, Jill also revealed her struggles towards the road to recovery following the C-section procedure she went through to give birth to their first baby, according to another People report. "I am getting better," she said. "I am still recovering. I am trying not to overdo it."
However, it appears that Jill learned the lesson of "taking it easy" for a while the hard way. "One day I felt really good and I did too much that day," she revealed. The next day, I paid for it," Jill admitted. "The pain around my incision depends on what I've done that day and if I've rested enough or not."
Despite the struggles, Jill still remains positive and even thanks her family for the support they extend her at this time. "I am so grateful for the help of my family," she said. "I have had one of my sisters, my mother or Derick's mother here with me most of the time now that Derick has gone back to work. It is really a blessing to have family close by to reach out to."
