Jana Duggar is marking a major milestone in her first pregnancy.
The Counting On alum, 35, who is expecting her first baby with husband Stephen Wissmann, revealed on Instagram on Wednesday, Sept. 24, that she’s halfway to her due date.
In her post, she shared a set of recent selfies proudly showing off her bump in the mirror and showing just how far along she was. In the first photo, the soon-to-be mom could be seen wearing a gray sweater, jeans and a red hat as she gently cradled the bottom of her baby bump.
In a follow-up photo, she could be seen turning to face the mirror as she once again cradled her bump. The first snap showed a side profile of her growing belly, while the second showed a more head-on picture.
“Halfway through pregnancy and I’m still in awe! It sure has flown by!” Jana captioned the photo. “I love feeling those tiny kicks these days!”
The post comes one month after Jana — who is the oldest Duggar daughter — first revealed her pregnancy on Instagram alongside a set of photos of her kissing Wissmann and the pair showing off her growing bump in another.
“We are so excited, January 2026 is going to come with a little bundle of joy joining our family!” they wrote in their caption.
“We’re counting down the days and eagerly looking forward to this thrilling new chapter in our lives!” they added.
The announcement came almost exactly one year after they got married in a “classic, elegant” ceremony in front of 500 close family and friends in Prairie Grove, Ark. The ceremony took place a few months after they got engaged on June 15, 2024.
Several of Jana’s family were in attendance for the big event, including Jessa Duggar Seewald, Joy-Anna Forsyth, Johannah Duggar, Jinger Duggar Vuolo and Jordyn Duggar and sister-in-law Abbie Duggar.
“I think it is one of those things that all girls envision someday,” Jana told PEOPLE of her wedding just two days before the celebration.
“For me, it felt like, ‘Okay, it’s never coming.’ But now it’s starting to sink in. Reality is starting to set in. And I’m like, ‘Wow, this truly is something that I’ve dreamed of.’ And just to see it coming about is incredible and kind of hard to believe. It’s a dream come true.”
