I hope you're right and if so, good for her. I'm not sure she's planning a hospital birth. That picture reminded me of the place where Jill and Derick had their Lamaze classes.

I don't understand Jana's outfit/dress. At least Laura's dress makes sense. Is Jana's outfit trendy? My favorite dress is the one farthest to the left.

I wonder if Jill and Derick are having fertility problems and the puppy is going to compensate for Jill not having a baby. Or for Derick wanting to wait for their next child. A fundielite couple I know got a dog after a very early miscarriage. They had three kids right after that (in four years; no twins)! Around that time they got rid of that dog (gave it to family). The couple went on to have two more kids (so far!). These families have too many children/people to worry much about animals.

The Maxwells (like the Bates, the Duggars etc.) believe that all forms of birth control are immoral and equal not valuing children. They're wrong.

I get the feeling JB will be willing to help them find a bigger home when they decide they need it.

New post posted on Monday on their blog DavidLoves Priscilla. It was written by David. They traveled, and they're building a house for his parents (and their unmarried adult children?).

I agree with you about that line. It's annoying! People, Christian or not, can value children even if they're not Maxwells.

Elissa Maxwell is pregnant again with baby #3. She is due before Anna Marie in January/February 2020 (so like January 31st). Elissa is married to Joseph/Joe Maxwell and has two kids: Calia and Kyle. Also Jesse Maxwell is now 25.

He's hardly the only one. Kendra's parents posted a photo of Joe and Pastor Caldwell with bigger guns on their Instagram. I wouldn't guess that Bobby and Meagan have two children under 3 based on this photo, but they do.

Well it's a consignment shop, so you probably can't order that outfit.

The Wilsons are big fundie family the Duggars were friends with. They're still around. The father passed away a few years ago. One of the oldest boys, Jacob Wilson, is one of the many non-loves of Jana Duggar.

Don't they make clothes for adults?

She seems to be from Germany. Her mother seems to be German. Her father lives in Hungary with his second wife.

According to fundiewiki, she was a dual citizen of Germany and Hungary before emigrating here.

I still think of Lauren as having one child, but then she thinks she has more than one.

Zsu named her baby Eva, but since she's German she pronounces the name Ava. I can not imagine anyone giving birth in a large in-ground pool. Or swimming in said pool afterward. It seems like a waste of water.

Yeah I agree with this.

Who is Solomon?

Asa is a male name from the old testament like Joshua, Judah, Josiah, etc. Just because it ends in a doesn't make gender neutral. Further research shows it's a feminine in non-Christian norse cultures, but the Duggars don't follow Norse mythology. It's a safe bet that it was chosen as a biblical boys name. Lauren gave her child a biblical name, maybe that will be a theme for them. I'm still thinking they'll go with Bethany Milagro.

If anything it seems more likely to be true that's not some liberal type who's mad, but someone who probably shares a lot of the same beliefs. Those religious types tend to cover for each other; for example, a lot of people defending either Josh or JB and Michelle over how they handled Josh. I didn't know that term is a slur, and merely not the correct term. I will be careful not to use it in the future.

I've been disappointed that even FJ has been slow to realize what's going on here. If even the fellow Duggar snarkers can't be convinced there's something hinky with the coincidentally named charity, badge and gun story, donations, etc., no wonder the media is sleeping on it.

I put this on the Bates forum as well, but Rebecca "Becky" Keilen married Timothy "Tim" Forman on Saturday. Becky is Brandon Keilen's older sister. She is 33. She is the first of her sisters to marry and two of them are older. They seem like a typical fundie couple, but nice enough. This has been a year for older fundie brides. Sarah Reith (30) and another fundie FJ follows married at older ages.

Someone mentioned Brandon's sisters. Rebecca (Becky) Keilen married Timothy Forman last weekend. Another site had the wedding photo and her dress was pretty. She's 33 and the first of Brandon's many sisters to marry.

The picture with Amy looks old, since Amy doesn't look that far along.
