This past week has been perhaps the most memorable one for Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard. The couple welcomed their son, Israel David Dillard, to the world and have finally brought him home from the hospital, documenting every step of the way for their fans on their social networking accounts.

Proud father Derick shared a photo of him and his wife at home in bed on Saturday. He captioned the pic with, "As Jill and I are settling in back at home after the birth of our firstborn, we wanted to thank everyone for the amazing support we've received from so many during this time. Your thoughts and prayers mean so much to us. We love you all! #blessed #grateful."

Meanwhile, Duggar has admitted that her son's birth "didn't go as planned" for her. The reality television star admits that she didn't want to give birth at a medical facility, but ultimately made the decision to get induced during her 42nd week of her pregnancy as her newborn baby simply didn't want to come out on his own.

According to Us Weekly on Wednesday, the couple shared a video from her hospital bed explaining exactly what went down in the delivery room.

Derick began by saying, "Hey everybody, it's Derick and Jill Dillard, and we've got an exciting birth announcement. Not everything went as expected. We were reminded of the verse that the Bible talks about where man plans his way but the Lord directs his steps. We were encouraged by that and yeah, he's just a handsome little fellow."
