Is it possible that one reason Derrick was there religiously, taking copious notes (while I don't think he's an absolute monster and we have seen some evolution on his part. I could see him wanting to help Anna. He's part of the Duggar "injured Spouse" Club too.) is that he's trying to build a civil case against JB and Mullet?

I'm a lefty....but because of how I was taught a few things, I cut with scissors, bat and golf right handed...I don't think one can judge a pic by handedness criteria. That pic of Jinger has a Duchess of Cambridge vibe IMO. Edited because autocorrect hates me

Whoohoo. Jill gets a lot of flack even though every parent here has done a dozen things other parents (to include people here) would shame them on (but those weird bibs? Woof!) I think that the further JB and Mullet pushes them away, they just more and more adopt a "fuck it, let's be normal and do normal things!" . I still maintain that part of Ds issue with JB is Joshgate and i suspect Jill is still traumatized. And while he says a lot of stupid things, I have no doubt he loves his JillyMuffin and isn't pleased that she suffered so much in the interest of protecting Gathsrdism.

Filming every excruciating moment is embedded in these people's DNA. These kids don't know any other way. This is their lives....For that reason, I can't begin to bust on them for how they choose to mourn. They truly don't know better. Plus side? We got to see Michelle train Lissy on barefoot counter walking...plate licking is next.

Totally is tease to a "bun on the oven" announcement. Yes, we've seen the well-done rolls but I suspect the "more to come" has a bit more to it. As far as the long sleeves and other blah blah blah. I'm the person who would do that not thinking or, you know, pull weeds in a dress and work shoes when I get out of the car after work in April and see that first dandelion which turns into a full blown gardening situation....so I'm not going to judge. At least her hair was pulled back. I take the victories where I can.

"Mother is bleeeeeeding" is as burned into my brain as Vicki from RHOCs OG hollering into her cell phone, " You sent a little family vaaaaan!" is.

But we did get hard confirmation that Lauren the Precious is getting what appears to be real medical care....though it sounds like maybe she does have some problems if her progesterone dropped early in her current pregnancy and she took supplements for it. However. I feel like she's exhausting to deal with on the daily...

If the Duggar Train derails, I fully suspect Josh will bail (on the fence about if he'll take Anna or if she'd go if he even tried.) and have a tell-all ghostwritten. THAT'S how he'll fund everything. I also think Derrick will too....but it won't be as juicy so it won't be successful.

She looks freakishly like momma for being fresh out the womb...and I never thought for a second that Lauren would be open to a home birth. I'm 100% in on hospital births so I'm NOT mocking people who do so because I wouldn't dream of doing otherwise...I'm just saying in Lauren's mind, she's far too precious and high risk to not do the hospital thing.

Looks like Jana is modeling maternity wear. I generally don't pick at their fashion too much because of their stunted development impacting their tastes but this is unfortunate...

It is painful to defend him but as previously said, mascot is a hard gig. Sparky the Sun Devil (we'll be seeing Sparty in Sept!) has a different person play him each quarter because of how hot it is in Tempe and quite often they're getting IVs in the training room. With pushups and dancing, mascoting is extremely physically demanding with the added bonus of obscured visibility. Derek is the worst in almost every way possible but this I'll let slide.

I think that the kidults have more than given at the office to enjoy the fruits of their childhood exploitation. I don't subscribe to the outrage of "how dare they enjoy their money"! If they have their money from people willing (or stupid enough) to supply it in a legal manner, good for them. And now she gets to spend it on what she wants because there is an element of self-governance that she was denied in the TTH (obviously based on how they as a couple sort that out because....still fundy or fundy-adjacent). Good for her and her vampy red toes!

"Our back up plan...." was in reality nonexistent. I suspect if there really was a birthing suite plan and an out of town midwife; they turned to infamous Theresa who doesn't have privileges at any facility other than Duggar and Duggar adjacent properties and lady bits. So bust out the brown birthing towel and cross those fingers for an uncomplicated.....nevermind! Jill, it looks like Ben is in a hurry to get to Jessa and may possibly not be interested in dealing with your on the spot telejournalism. Read.the.room.

Ehhhhh... I'm pretty sure Jill's factory is permanently offline or at the very least closed for repairs.

I've had 2.....the first one I had @10 weeks. That one actually got me admitted for transfusion and observation. It was my first experience with what one Doc called my "groggy" uterus (I don't know if that's really a thing but his words stuck with me. The whole experience was awful. ) that likes to bleed heavily after pregnancy related events. It almost got me a hysterectomy after my last kid. But I was carried up the stairs when I got home....it weirds me out even now thinking about it 25 years later. I can't imagine Siah carrying her around honestly. They're roughly the same size or am I not recalling very well? I've got to think she got actual medical care. Who wouldn't if mother is bleeeeeeeding to quote good old Mullet.
