Yes unfortunately she's really taking off.

I can't say too much, but Joy has joined a conspiracy-theory forum.

The Bates also like their formal photos in the middle of a patch of weeds.

I'm sure she'll be fine with having a niece with a name she loves if they chose one of "her" names. That's not necessarily Jinger's and Jeremy's style. I think it's fine if people guess the same names.

Duggar friend Madison Nicole is courting and has a boyfriend named Philip Pettit. (It's confusing to me that's one L in Philip and two Ts in Pettit.) He is what older people refer to as "tall, dark, and handsome." He looks like a Bates son-in-law. She was one of the girls who was rumored to be linked to a Duggar boy. Jason was supposed to be in a courtship/relationship with one of the girls on his Greek trip, according to the chaperone. There were four girls on the trip. One girl (Lauren Caldwell) is engaged and one girl (Madison Nicole) is courting someone else. The two other girls are mysteries although one of them is a lot older than him.

@lookeyloo I'm so sorry for your loss. May his memory be a blessing. Maybe it's a comfort to know he's no longer in pain and suffering? I believe in the afterlife and I believe he is in a good place in the next world. I know how much you loved him and he knew it too.

They also aired some of that footage closer to when Addison was born. They re-aired the footage, because not much else was happening.

I think Jinger is the person who posted that, not someone who tagged. It's possible someone sent her the image. I think it would be dumb to travel out of state while 9 months pregnant especially during a pandemic, but fundies! She was induced the day before her due date, so not exactly early, (she was full term. Due dates are imprecise so one day doesn't make a difference.) She hasn't said anything about being induced again, but it may dependent on if she goes into labor before her due date of the 19th.

Abbie's sister Maggie Ruth Burnett is getting married. She is the last of the Burnett daughters to be engaged. She and her twin sister are the youngest two girls and there's a younger brother. Her wedding will be a year away. Her fiance is David Becerra Nino.

Jamesy Bug? Isn't he last Duggar son to get an account?

The baby is due Nov. 19. Baby could be here any day now, and will probably arrive in less than 2 weeks. @Zella You previously guessed Irene after John MacArthur's mother. Would you like to keep that guess? I'm keeping track of people's baby name and birthdate guesses.

No actually that's John David. But yes John David and Ben are representing the Duggars.

They have their own thread on the forum. I actually think the Duggars and Plaths are very similar. Part of it is that TLC shows the Duggars only in a positive light and the Plaths are on television to fight with each other.

this is the hotline for domestic abuse. Get help! Now!

Today is Jessa's birthday; she's 28.

And now a word from Allison Bontrager. Allison recently hosted her parents as featured on their blog. She now has thoughs on hospitality to offer you. Think of it as how to be the perfect hostess. (It's not bad advice exactly, but very braggy and self-congratulatory!)

I'm still guessing Rosemary Charlotte as a name for the new baby. If you would like to guess too, people can start guessing names and dates. I'll keep track of the guesses and if anyone gets it, I'll announce the winner. Jinger is due Nov. 19 so she's getting close. (Part of this is intended to be a distraction from the world.)

Why didn't they include Garrett in that photo? Is he taking the picture?

Kendra's father is Paul Caldwell. Her oldest brother is Micah Caldwell. Ben's father is Mike Seewald, and Anna's father is Mike Keller.

Is it possible that Jeremiah passed the test and the Realtor website hasn't added him yet? Then again on-line tests seem to be Instantaneous. But there might be paywork that needs filling out. Michelle, on the other hand, is definitely not a Realtor anymore. Add doula to list of terms that have no real definition. Anyone can call themselves a doula; there is no real oversight for that job. (Midwives and nurses need actual training.)

It's Steve Maxwell's daughter Anna's birthday. She is 28. (The Maxwells have 3 Annas: this is their daughter, the other two are daughters-in-law.

Erin Bates Paine had a case that she has implied was much worse than a bad cold.

Their youngest isn't 3. Garrett (Kendra's oldest) is 2 and he's older than their youngest child. I looked it up and the youngest will 2 soon. He'll be about 2 1/2 when the new baby is born. But yes most of their kids aren't that young.

I'm feeling very low right now. I think I may have made a big mistake and I'm hoping I'm wrong. I don't want to talk about it. I've been trying to stay postive and not be too stressed but it's hard. If y'all could just send me some good vibes, I'd appreciate it.

Kendra was 18 when she was courting and became engaged to Joe. She turned 19 the month before they married. Lauren Swanson Duggar was the same. She was 18 while they were dating and became engaged. She turned 19 six weeks before she married. Ben and Jessa did date longer. Joy started dating Austin when she was 17. They went public around her 19th birthday. She got married around 19 and a half.
