Temperance

I opened the door for the trick or treaters. I put on a facemask to open the door. I was so happy. My roommates and I carved a pumpkin and it was cute. I love children, but I may never have any of my own since I'm getting older and have no love life. I'm not really in a position to date. I'm still hoping things will work out. Mama Temperance got her flu shot since I encouraged her to. I don't want her to get sick. She had some arm pain this year.

M7 is supposedly here. A recent statement made by the Duggars said they have 22 grandchildren. John David + Abbie 1 Jill + Derick 2 Jessa + Ben 4 Jinger + Jeremy 2 Joe + Kendra 3 Josiah + Lauren 1 Joy + Austin 2 This adds up to 15 leaving 7 of the kids belonging to Josh and Anna. I can understand why they didn't announce the birth of M7 at this time. My guess is her name is Michelle.

She is 43, according to the internet.

Jeremiah has always had that hair. It goes back to old pictures of them unless it was shaved down for ALERT. Hannah shares a birthday with someone I know in real life (June 23). I think they'll get married after Christmas when Jeremiah is 23 and she is 26. They'll get married on New Year's Eve or have another February wedding.

If he was in prison for fraud, it's nothing like what Josh did. Also JB seems like a shyster, so to me it's like father, like son, like grandsons. How many used carlots have these people? Wasn't there a story about Josiah selling someone a car and not returning their calls when they had problems with it? And all that unlicensed construction work? The point of licensing is to protect buyers that the work is done right. They seem to cut corners. And that's not mentioning Mediccorps which seems down right fraudulent. If JB wanted to make a point about his dad, he should get his sons training to have legitimate work.

Katie Josie's outfit is very retro to me. I like Tori's outfit. That sweater is huge and it would look better without it. On the other, she looks great a woman who has spent the past 3-4 years pregnant.

Yeah they're having a fourth girl. I feel sorry for their daughters and not at all sorry for Erin. She's really lucky to be having a baby at all.

Yes, although her job was to make sure she to be "joyfully available", and then having the babies that come with that.

First comment on the post at the moment: Second comment on the post at the moment: God bless these people.

Especially since most fundies including the Bates are very prideful!

Did Joe pass his classes? Clown isn't acredited and Jill's midwifery career was a joke.

I'm not surprised Jill wants another baby. She always wanted a girl and she was raised that 2 kids are nothing. I'm a little disappointed they didn't at least wait until Derick became lawyer. I know they could be more financially set then we know, but it doesn't seem like their income is secure. It reminds me of the rest of the Duggars. Maybe we changed the title of this thread from Counting On Donations too soon. That was never anything but a crazy internet rumor.

FYI; Nurie is 22. Tim is 21. Kaylee is 20. Renee is 19. Phillip is 18. Samuel is 16 and will be 17 next month. Having two daughters married will break up the bunch a little bit.

I find this kind of gross. Yes, Gracie is old enough that Abbie could easily be pregnant. (Grace will be 2 in January.) However most of the speculation seems to be based on Abbie's body, which isn't necessarily evidence. Especially a woman like Abbie, who had severe morning sickness, is less likely to show early in the first trimester and may even lose weight early on in the pregnancy.

I saw it on another site that Nehemiah in the bible is a character who had to wait a long time. So that may not be the name of the baby and may just be an biblical allusion. I hope so, because only obnoxious fundies would give a baby a name like that. It does prove that Nurie is still pregnant. I hope also Nurie has the baby soon and has a safe delivery.

I doubt too many fans and gawkers would show up in Arkansas especially after the first week. This is Arkansas. These people know the Duggars and have seen around their whole lives, and most people not in Arkansas won't drive there to get photos of someone working at Walmart.

Yes they have. Jeremy posted something a while ago. I won't say what, because it violates forum rules as it was extremely political. Suffice to say it seemed like Jeremy wasn't taking the Pandemic seriously. I have no idea if they're vaxxed or not. With the exception of Jill and Derick, no one in the Duggar family is vaxxed and taking the Pandemic seriously. Neither are many of their fans. I saw that in the comments on someone's Instagram post. The only real hope I have that Jeremy and Jinger might be vaccinated is that his siblings and other relatives seem reasonable (in general) and they might have convinced JinJer to get vaccinated.

Cathy's cancer was very real and scary. She had Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and was saved by an experimental treatment. I can honestly say it's always scary when you know the person will live (experience talking). It is my opinion that yes her diagnosis made her scared to die and she was eager and anxious to see one of her children married and have a grandchild. I don't know if I can blame her entirely for that, since Derick seemed willing to wed. As for self-centered, she seems way less in love with herself than Mechelle and JB, but that's a low bar.

It's not clear. All she said in the announcement is "Fall 2021'. So it could be any time from now until the beginning of winter. I'm guessing the baby is due/will be born in October, but it could be November, etc.

The young woman on the end is Lauren Nakatsu. She is Jed!'s sister-in-law.

Re-hospitals. It's Florida I'm not Jill will have trouble being there for the birth. Also @iwantcookies suggested watching the birth from the hospital. This has been done. Kelly Bates and Erin? watched another sister give birth, but I can't remember which one. It was during the Pandemic so that doesn't narrow it down much.

Thanks!

Anybody know how @doodlebug is doing?

What does BME stand for?

Jana and Stephen Wissman haven't been photographed together in a while and one of his sisters stopped following her so there is speculation they have broken up. (Speculation is not a reliable source, so don't count on this being true.)
