I believe Anna will leave Josh once a plea is entered or he has been found guilty. I wonder if Anna is on bedrest for the pregnancy. Anna said the baby was due in "fall" so I think she is still pregnant. It is fall though so she could have had the baby. JB should take care of Anna and the kids regardless of the Josh situation. It's doesn't good for him to abandon his grandchildren and Anna knows a lot about his cult family. Still predicting this baby (M7) is going to be named Michelle.

I don't believe Kendra is pregnant. I haven't heard this anywhere else. Carlin is pregnant and maybe Joy too. I know the internet is anxious to have Kendra announce, but it's a little soon for her and I haven't seen this on other sites. I have been convinced some of the Duggars were pregnant when they weren't.

Yes Felicity and Evangeline are 2 years and 4 months apart. Henry and Ivy are almost that though. He was born the begining of February and she was born the end of May. If Ivy had been born closer to her due date, it would be the same distance. Jessa went into labor a few weeks early.

The Maxwells also have EXCITING NEWS. They did a huge blog post announcing: Anna and Mary Maxwell in college Sarah moving into her own home. Steve and Teri are empty nesters. Good for them!

Jacob/Jake Wilson was a friend of the Duggars for a long time. It started publically when he and his father and brothers were helping JimBob build the TTH. The Wilsons have been hanging around the Duggars for while. Jacob is one of the many non-loves of Jana Duggar, meaning the tabloids linked them together. He posted on social media denying the relationship in way some of us thought was tacky. That was a few years ago. Jacob's dad Clark Wilson died a few years ago from cancer. Last year he was a relationship with a fundie young woman named Lundyn Smith and they had a baby together shortly after Christmas. He and Lundyn split up (never married) earlier this year and he has been floundering since. He spoke out against Josh Duggar. I feel bad Jacob died this week. He was visiting one of his brothers in Hawaii when he had the accident. There is a gofundme to raise funds to ship his body back to where his family is from.

I think JB wants her to wear pants so for positive publicity. If Jana was married, she would be living with her husband and not traveling the country without him.

I don't think Anna has had the baby. She wasn't due until 'fall" and it's not fall yet. I think she's out of the picture, because she's trying to avoid the publicity.

I have known people like that too. They're not necessarily "hillbillies"; it's more just obsessed/desperate to be pregnant.

Joy looks exhausted. I don't like pets as gifts and I don't know it was two kittens. Joy and Austin are jerks.

I think Steve will let his daughters marry if they find men to marry. If Steve wanted them to be permanent babysitters, they'd be home helping John with his young family and not living out-of state at a bible college.

I'm happy for Anna and Mary Maxwell that they get to move out of state and away from their family. This way they can focus on their studies and won't be called over to babysit for their brothers. I'm hoping that everything goes well for these girls. This college is also accredited. Compare that to the Bates girls, who got to the unaccredited Crown College in the same state. Of course if Anna and Mary were Bates girls, they'd be married with at least 2 kids and pregnant while dealing with their clotting condition. The younger two Maxwell girls are going to college out of state.

I mean there's no picture. A tweet is much smaller than Instagram post and it's just feels more direct. I never said they couldn't read, it's dealing with all kinds of trolls, haters, and vile comments that seem more intense on twitter.

I agree we don't need to update the thread titles. If she really found out this week, then it took a while. I've heard that she is due early April and she mentions the test turned positive right away in the video. She's more like two months along vs one month. Generally most women who are hoping to be pregnant find out the first month. (Historically it was 2 months, but these days it's one month.)

Actually the various social media platforms operate differently. I have heard a lot of other people (not fundie or fundie-adjacent) say they're tired of Twitter in particular. Something about the way it's mostly talk and the comments can feel more direct with no post to sort-of buffer them. It actually makes a lot of sense to me.

They're not "showing her face", but she's clearly performing on stage. It wouldn't surprise me if this event was broadcasted to the world. Even if it's not she's still performing. It seems a little hypocritical.

I'm not sure where, but she said somewhere she's due in April. They were married April 3, 2021 and they're supposedly due right around the anniversary. The only good thing about these two is at least she is 23 and not 19. We may have to start courting.

JB and Michelle have always cherished their image as America's golden family. This will hurt them. Although I find somewhat hypocritical for people to be condemning the Duggar family while paying the Bates family for their announcements.

Who is sitting with Jinger?

They teach algebra. I remember Joy had algebra to do as a senior.

sorry that happened to you. Those people suck. Next time tell them you can't and try to make them feel as bad as you can. Also this is yet another instance of the leghumpers turning on the Duggar-Bates crowd when they don't reproduce fast enough.🙄

Y'all might remember Olivia Collingsworth. The Collingsworth have four children. They tour and sing. Olivia is the youngest and she was thought a candidate for a Duggar or Bates boy. (She has light red hair.) Olivia Collingsworth is engaged. Her fiance is rich. He has a college degree and a job and his family is rumored to be old money. Olivia herself I believe is well-educated and her family is smaller than most. She's also a Methodist although her family likes to call themselves generically Christian.

There are other reasons besides wanting a boy to keep having children. Chad is one of 10 kids and Erin is one of 19 kids. To them, four kids is tiny, but that's not true in the real world. The other reason is that even though Erin is somewhat of a princess and Chad is the first born son, they still have to compete with their siblings. In families like these, the parents favorite are the most successful and the most fertile. If Erin couldn't have more kids, and Michael started having them, Kelly would have a new favorite immediately. Erin may have one or two more babies past this baby. She probably won't hit 10 kids, because eventually losing most of her eggs and menopause will catch up with her.

As far as I understand science, Clomid doesn't cause egg production; it causes the ovary/ies to ovulate (i.e. release eggs). Also the ovaries don't really produce; they store eggs. The ovaries do prepare eggs to be used, but they don't create eggs. @doodlebug would be much more knowledgable than I am.

I'm glad you and other people seem to be okay. It's lucky things weren't worse.

There's nothing wrong with making scripture cards. It probably doesn't take much time if she reads her bible everyday. I doubt she's making them by hand except for the first deck. Given how sick she's been this may be something she was more able to do while recovering. It's kind of funny how these cards remind me of the religious version of Oracle/Tarot cards.
