Jill Duggar and her husband Derick Dillard are anticipating the arrival of their second son, Samuel Scott.

In the meantime, the couple took to their family's website to give an update on what has been happening in their lives over the last few weeks.

The pair starts off the update by thanking everyone for their prayers and support over the last month as they transitioned their lives back to America after spending a couple weeks in Central America.

The Dillard's lost two close friends during their time in Central America. They spoke about their friends that remain there and are living in "difficult areas." Jill and Derick thanked their fans for the prayers and funds they sent to the families of their friends who passed away. They also gave a health update on their "dear friend" Brenda, who is recovering from brain surgery.

Before leaving Central America, one of their "sweet" friends threw Jill a birthday party.

The couple asked for continued prayers for their friends and for the upcoming arrival of their little one.
