Huh, I thought of Finnegan but felt it was too Irish for them. I know a few Finns. I like the name.

My guesses are, Theodore Joseph, Sebastian Jeremy or Archibald Charles.

Derick, like many lawyers, participate in community activities and often bring their families. Also, I doubt a newbie lawyer is taking on any super dangerous criminals. IIRC, both Derick and Jill mocked public schools in the documentary. We know they're anti LGBTQ+. We also know they're pro Kirk Cameron and anti trans story time. And of course they're anti inclusive BSA. IMO, the kids are homeschooled because Jill very much believes in the way she was raised. Her book was about a grievance with money and her learning to use boundaries to basically choose Derick over her parents.

Unless they're twins, siblings will always have times when they're in different schools. I'm only a little surprised the kids are homeschooled only because Izzy did attend a couple years of public school. It seems any activities they do are scheduled when Derick is around, but at least they do some.

And I think Derick wrote a blog, (maybe a post) about the terrible decisions BSA were making. Scouts, in my area anyway, have troops grouped by age. Camps do have older scouts as camp counselors. I can't imagine a boys' group with 5 year olds through teenagers.

Theodore Joseph, Sebastian Jeremy or Archibald Charles hasn't been born yet? Doesn't Jing usually deliver early?

I think very few of the Duggar 19 dug very deep into real Christianity. Most of them, including Jessa IMO, didn't go beyond Jesus loves me, this I know. Everything else is Gothard bullshit, which I think they all believed hook, line and sinker.

I think Prissy, not so much. I do think Jessa having more kids will bother Anna. I also think Jessa will passive-aggressively rub it in.

I saw the headline of Jessa's pregnancy and kept recounting the kids she had, thinking it was clickbait. I still think they'll stop after their 8th - one more than Anna. Speaking of Anna, does anyone know how many kids Pecan and Priss have?

Did Joy actually identify what Joe helped her with? I recall questioning whether it was a religious issue or possibly something else.

I agree what Evy was doing was dangerous, but I don't think it was malicious. I think she was helping her brother escape lock-up. She even says, "K, ready?". But yes, the grownup in the room failed miserably.

I truly believe influencers have kids for click$.

Spug?

Well then, Kelton needs to get that house built. Only around two years before their one bathroom will be used by 5 people. Katie, the youngest married Bates daughter continues to 'out do' her older siblings. I guess a favored trust fund husband comes in handy.

So what is Josie and Kelton's next move? The 3 couples had a supposed sleepover at Carlin's to be snowed in together.

My mom had 4 kids in 6+ years. The 1st two are Irish twins, the next one 2+ years later and me, the last, 3 years later. It seems to me as my mom became busier raising kids she was less up to making them. As many of you pointed out, having kids is one thing, purposely having a huge litter was not and is not the norm. God didn't give the Duggars 19 kids, sex and a calendar did that.

Introducing parents, grandparents and the wedding party is standard in our neck of the woods. Its a way of honoring and thanking them. Then the bride and groom make their entrance. Of course there was no dancing or props involved. I have seen some reels of wild entrances, but also seen some heartwarming ones as well. But it seems like with everything these days everyone is trying to up the last SM trend, whether it be sex reveals, showers, birthday parties, weddings... I find it sad and I blame SM and the Kardashians. 😁

Eh, my 1st was potty trained by age two. After talking about and having a potty chair, talking about big boy undies and watching me and his dad use the bathroom he was eager. I'm not kidding when I say he spent less than a month practicing at home and one day I said we're going to be gone all day with big boy undies on today, so make sure you tell mommy when you need to go. Not being a fool myself, we went to my moms house 😬. And that was it - he was trained. Oh and I was pregnant. I know the norm now is training around 3 years old, but if the kid shows signs they're ready, go for it. And if, like Katey, you're going to have 4 under 3, one out of diapers makes life a wee bit easier.

I'm guessing Katey spent the last 6 months potty training True.

Two infant carseats.

"Counting On alum Jill Duggar Dillard is known for her close relationship with her brother, James. The 32-year-old raised her brother when they were still at the Duggar compound. But despite living far from each other today, James still makes efforts to visit his older sister. Jill also mentioned James in her book, “Counting The Cost,” implying that he’s one of the few siblings who’s breaking free from the family." “We can’t have favorites but … ,” Jinger, 30, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, March 20, adding a wink face emoji. “@Jamesaduggar.”

Weird that Derick is calling out James because both Jill and Jinger have hinted that he has been one of the siblings who has supported them throughout. And I don't believe this shot, nor the prior one, are pictures. I believe they are mere seconds of a video.

Hey Jill, maybe birth control and all reproductive health care are two boats and a helicopter.

Someone should hire some Amish strippers to put on a surprise show for the retreat ladies.

I haven't watched the video, but it seems Jana's wedding was celebration rather than a ceremony and a quick exit to go do the wild thing.
