Kendra's family did a sex reveal for her mother's pregnancy due in May. Kendra's mother is having a girl. Kendra is also having a girl due in February. The niece will be born three months before her aunt.

Jacob Wilson and his girlfriend Lundyn Smith welcomed a baby boy on New Year's Eve. John-William Turner Wilson was born on December 31. The baby will go by Turner. Jacob is son of Duggar family friend the late Clark Wilson. He and Lundyn are both ex-fundie, although they haven't changed much. Jacob was also rumored to be dating Jana at one point, which he denied.

She's 20 and he's 19. He's still in school, but maybe that won't matter. She's very immature. I'm not sure it will work out.

I'm still a little down right now. I have nothing to complain about, but I just wish for more. I would like to be more social, although I'm social distancing. I want to find love. My childhood self is probably disappointed I'm not married by now. My fourth grade teacher died. I hadn't seen her in years, but there was an obituary. Based on what it said, she did not die of COVID. She was 85. She was a good teacher. @GeeGolly I would suggest Hope as a word of the year. @lookeyloo I hope you feel free to ignore my suggestions, but if you're looking for a purpose, you might look into mentoring younger adults. You and Mr. Lookeyloo seem like such kind people. I particularly think that you could mentor younger LGBTQ adults. I know a lot of them still don't feel fully accepted by their families. I was touched by your acceptance of Sweet Son being gay. You're probably not ready, but it's something to think about. If this doesn't appeal to you though, you don't have to do it.

Abbie's sister took the picture. Either she was visiting from Oklahoma, or they went to Oklahoma. I think Grace and her outfit are cute.

Yeah I think Nathan is the next Bates to get married. That's not a flattering picture. I think he's relatively attractive. I wouldn't be interested, because he's a fundie. I think he's better looking than Zach. Yes he's 27.

Peter Pan much?

I honestly thought Laura Maisie was Jill.

Although Kendra's mother doesn't have kids so close together.

Maybe Jill was worried about COVID? Like y'all weren't social distancing so don't come over? Otherwise it doesn't make sense.

Guys I was supposed to be doing something for work (via the internet) and the technology was really difficult to figure out. Then I was trying to fill something out and I submitted it early, because I was taking advice from a tech support. So now I can't fill the rest of it out and I'm really depressed. Please send good vibes. I really appreciate you all. I hope for better days for all of you. This year is so awful. I can say that at least my roommates and I don't have COVID, so that's something I'm thankful for.

I think Nurie is pregnant they just haven't announced yet....3,2,1.... (There's a registry for her name with a due date for June 4th, but no formal announcement. The registry could be a prank account, but looks legit to me.)

OMG! I missed this post from Jill Rod. Jill, most people don't love doing the dishes more than their family; they just care about the environment more! Fundies love using Adam and Eve to subjugate women, but miss that whole stewarts of the earth bit. She's so smug about it too! Typical Jill.

It was Chrissy's full name on Three's Company. (Chrissy was Suzanne Somer's character. Topic: Justin is too young to be getting married imo.

I consider anybody whose religion takes over their life to be fundie It doesn't matter what denomination, faith etc. I grew up Catholic, I've known plenty of Catholic fundies.

I posted this in the Sweet Fellowship thread, but it's about the Bates. Esther Keyes posted a photo of Nathan and herself. They are in a secret relationship, where she posts of them together. 🤫 Lawson seems to have found a girl. The Bates will probably have at least one wedding next year.

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, and Happy Holidays to those who don't. I've been busy so I've been here less. I missed posting that on the last days of Hanukkah. Happy Belated to Hanukkah to those who celebrate! One of my friends was vaccinated. She's a dentist. @jjane Thank you for the update. I'm sending you good vibes. @lookeyloo If there's anything we can do, let us know.

I think she might consider delivering at home since the two previous labors went well without incident. She also doesn't use any drugs; she's just there in case something goes wrong. Maybe if the hospital won't let her awful mother in, she'll actually get some pain relief.

She linked to it on Instagram. I appreciate you posting the picture.

I couldn't see Mrs. Spivey's dress. She was wearing a dressy coat over another a top. It doesn't look that bad, but maybe there's another picture.

Exactly he seems shady to me.

None of the fundies we follow take COVID seriously enough. Nathan Bates's girl posted a picture of them together. Lawson seems to be interested in a young woman named Tiffany Espensen. Run, girl, run! Link

Erin has four children ages 5, 4, 2, and 1. Kids that young need to be watched like a hawk, and are usually pretty reliant on their parents, mothers, caretakers, etc.

Erin Bates Paine posted something maybe in her stories about her top priorities are her time and how she spends her days. It's worth looking at if you see it.

Ivy is 18/19 months old and Jessa could easily be pregnant again with a child that age.
