I saw it on snark boards who watched the video. I don't subscribe to them on social media. I predict many more kids after this!

So Joy had a VBAC. I couldn't tell, because she was equally chipper after the births of Gideon and Evelyn. I think this means the baby train is about to leave the station. All Aboard!

Those are both older photos. I remember seeing them before. No mention of the new baby coming, which is surprising since they have one track minds about the ever expanding size of their family, and they probably won't see Jinger before the baby comes. I guess they could be seeing Jin/Jer/Lissy for filming purposes sooner than that.

I'm not sure that's true. But the Duggar kids see more doctors than the Caldwell kids at least.

John Webster's parents had 6 kids and so far all of his siblings have less. He may be telling the truth. I don't believe JB would have allowed Michelle to stop the baby train if she wanted to.

Considering IBLP is faltering, they might need her income to live on soon. Especially since the Bates show isn't doing too well in ratings. I hope God will protect any LGBTQ people or anyone else with disimilar beliefs who would have to encounter Nurse Michael.

But will make Austin happy? He's the headship; he gets to decide. And do either of them have the nerve to stand up to parental/peer/religious pressure to have more?

Gabby Barrett is back up the top of the country charts. "7 Summers" fell and "I Hope" went back up to #1. "I Hope" fell on the Hot 100, one place to #11, but it's not in the top 10 anymore. Gabby has a second song "The Good Ones" on the country charts as well.

What would be the reason for using steroids?

Yes she had a c-section with Giddy and was very chipper.

I have no idea if she had a c-section, but Joy was very chipper after the birth of Gideon.

Her name is Grace, but they call her Gracie. Also John David isn't a "bachelor father" he got married and was married over a year (about 14 months) before Grace was born. But hey this happened in 2020! They're catching up.

I hate to post three times in a row, but this is too big not to announce. Carolina Bowers Bontrager had the baby. Carolina Bowers Bontrager and her husband Carson Bontrager have a new baby. They have 2 girls. Jemima Virtue Bontrager joins big sister Jubilee Katherine Bontrager! She was born August 27th. JemimaBontrager It's unclear if they plan to do all J- names. Her sister Cassidy Bowers Bontrager has 2 boys Wallace and Winston, but has said they aren't necessarily doing all Ws. Carolina and Cassidy are the oldest two Bowers siblings. They now have four children between them and the only grandchildren for the Bowers family. (Some of the brothers visited the Duggars recently.) All of the Bowers children have C- names. Carolina, Cassidy, Charles, Carver, Christian, Crockett, Chapman, Campbell, and Crosby. (Youngest Crosby Virginia is the only other girl.) Carolina's husband is the fourth Bontrager child. His oldest sister is Chelsy Bontrager Maxwell. He has an older brother Mitchell and a second older sister Allison who recently married Jeremiah Helferich. His next youngest brother is Joshua who is married to Carson's wife's sister Cassidy. The Bontragers now have 7 grandchilden. Jubilee Bontrager is the oldest, because she's older than double 1st cousin Wallace by one day. Jubilee and Wallace are 2 years old. Chelsy Bontrager Maxwell has 2 boys Axton and Elliot. Winston, Elliot, and Jemima were all born this year. Mitchell and his wife Bryn are expecting their second child in December.

I hadn't read the comments, but Teri implies Joe and his family haven't moved without actually saying whether they've moved or not. Clever!

FJ went sleuthing and found Joe sold his house, but he could still be living closer to home.

The Maxwells wrote a post about a big change they've made. They've started attending a "normal" church. Steve already desired to get the family into a "normal church" before the shutdown. The unusual church they had was a nursing home where once a week Steve and his family would hold services led by Steve. They already were attending evening services where the pandemic hit. The nursing home won't let them in or hold services during pandemic, so they've stopped that altogether. "For our married children who were with us at the retirement home church, Nathan and Melanie are currently attending the same church we are. Christopher and Anna Marie need to stay home because of Anna Marie’s lack of immunity because of her chemo. John and Chelsy have found a Baptist church they like in Platte City." And possibly the biggest news of all married sons Jesse and Joseph commute home for Sunday lunch with the family from Kansas City. It was already known Jesse had an appartment in Kansas City. Now Joseph, Elissa and their kids have moved away from Leavensworth to Kansas City. Both Jesse and Joseph work at the family IT company Swift Otter. Before the move Joseph lived less than a mile from his dad in his debt-free house. I wonder if the new house is bigger or smaller. These are big changes for a family so isolated.

She's a really good friend of the family. Because older people are considered a better influence than kids of a similar age. She was in a photo with Jeremiah, but I actually suspect he may be courting someone else. She and her sister Lydia could be a match for any of the Duggar boys.

I hope not. It may just be the weather or his hair is wet. He'll grow up and get the ALERT cut soon. I like that Jessa keeps his hair longer.

So they were considering Judah and went with Jackson. If they didn't call him Judah after he was born, then it wasn't his name.

Carlin and Jinger are both trend-chasers; they follow trends that aren't necessarily fundie.

Elizabeth Patton posted a picture of Johannah, Jennifer, and herself on IG.

Most of his siblings were little kids. How would anyone know what children will name their kids? (Mama Temperance did pick out my name as child, but that's unsual.) As for a letter theme, I got the sense Anna likes it. M has a lot of possibilities and the first born son is named Michael after her dad. I think if I were a Duggar, I would do a letter theme so my kids names stuck out more.

Does Joe have any listings?

No she doesn't, at least not to me. Josie had a tiny face and was small for her age. She still is. Ivy is not tiny and doesn't have a small face. (Ivy is still cute imo.)

Felicity looks like she might be at a haircutters. Ivy's in a awkward hair phase.
