"I can't even describe right now the anticipation I am feeling, as I am about to get to meet my firstborn son for the first time face to face," he wrote. "So many people have already testified that nothing can quite describe that moment and that I'll just have to experience it for myself."
The then-dad-to-be also compared the birthing process to Biblical teachings.
"Now that I’m about to be a dad, I find it quite interesting that Jesus related the end of the world to the event of birth. And it’s easy to relate to because as much as Jill and I want to know when this birth will happen, the day and the hour of baby dilly’s birth is definitely unknown," he wrote.
Jill and Derick tied the knot in June 2014 and announced they were expecting a baby in August 2014.
