I think Trav and Katie had at least 3 or 4 bags for the hospital. One for her, one for Trav, one for Hailey and one with snacks. There was a whole SM post about it. It was like they were going on vacation for a week.

The Duggars served their soon to be son in law Jeremy Stouffers frozen lasagna, I guess that’s the ultimate Italian dish to them. So it’s not surprising they are mystified by the actual food in Italy.

Jill’s timeline for posting is always wonky so I’m sure next week we will be inundated with her SEVERE pain and suffering.

I wonder if Heidi is a Plexus user. Her mother is in BME’s downline so I’m sure the mom uses Plexus.

And his hourly rate for phone calls from Boob are probably double the normal rate.

Actually she says it was over 60% and as we all know, everything about Jillpm is the most extra severe etc.

With 7 kids she probably always has at least 3 or 4 with her all the time. Plus it probably wouldn’t occur to her to go anywhere alone.

If you watch the YouTube video, it’s Pecan’s church Wednesday night church service. After Prissy says the above, Pecan talks about what a wonderful family the Rodrigues are. It sounds like JillR may have been about 5 minutes into a pregnancy per the test you can do before you even miss your period and is now in pain.

I would think Anna has a specific car assigned to her since she has so many kids that probably need to be in a car seat or booster. The boys all seem to drive trucks and we’ve seen a variety of SUV’s too.

Travis may increase the number of kids he wants if the first three are all girls. So far his brother and SIL don’t seem to be on the baby train and Trav’s sister is having a boy, but I think Daddy Clark will want a grandson from his son too.

Nice to hear from all the fellow visitors to London! There really is so much to do there and it’s fairly easy to get around. The dollar is stronger against the pound than it’s been in ages, so a good time to go too.

Yes, London is very much contactless for paying for everything! My daughter lives in London and we were there last September. I had my old Oyster card and about £500 and never used either. Credit cards are used for everything, even very small amounts. My daughter had me just use my credit card for the Tube and the train. I forget what she did so I could use it, but it was pretty simple.

It’s quite obvious on Instagram that Jill ignores all school questions. She will respond to almost everything else, even after time has passed from the original post. Some people directly ask, why don’t you answer about homeschooling?

He’s traveling with that Elijah guy who is a real Fundie adjacent. I’m sure we will see loads of posts of them doing something ridiculous.

Last school year Jill had Derick around more and only Izzy to get ready for school. That’s part of what I think is overwhelming for Jill, she grew up on Duggar time so two boys and no Derick, is too much to handle. Homeschooling done by Jill, if anything like the SOTDRT, probably doesn’t take up too much of her time. But I could be wrong, I actually hope I am and that Sam & Izzy are happily at school with a variety of friends.

I’m still hoping Derick agreed to homeschool this year since he realizes how fragile Jill is. With a newborn, new house and his new work schedule, she may have been too overwhelmed this summer. Otherwise I’m not sure what his long term plan for the boys following in his footsteps to college is. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Except we’ve heard many times that he was spoiled as the first boy after 4 girls so perhaps Evan was held to a different standard even by his dad??? Evan certainly prefers fiddling around with his camera/phone/laptop and he does have some editing and filming skills, but not sure how long the YouTube videos will earn much $$. Carlin was shown on her “work” computer today, so she’s done for the week now.

My goodness, those pictures are so sad. It’s pathetic how JillR has to be the center of everything. I’m sure Sammers was thrilled to hold hands with his mother! Are these kids the new favorites?

Yes, the number of visitors to NJ had definitely decreased. I’m guessing Katie remembers when her younger siblings were born and it was utter chaos at the Bateses house. Who am I kidding, that was the norm. Katie is #11 or 12 IIRC so chaos is all she knew up to her wedding.

And so far C&E are not even pretending to work remotely on their computers.

No sign of Izzy, who knows, maybe she stayed in Nashville with Evan’s parents. Nice to see KJ and her phone have made an appearance.

Also an appearance by KJ, they all went to church together this morning, then grocery shopping. I imagine Katie’s house is crammed full of Bates. Hopefully KJ brought someone with her who might actually be some help.

Leisure Boy filmed plenty for the Stew Crew YouTube channel. He said he was letting Travis and Katie film footage for themselves or something He and Travis had a boys day out, ie driving around in the Tesla. Plus a golf simulation game, so I guess no one is worried about Katie going into labor anymore since they left her with Carlin and the 2 kids.

Not sure of the total # of grandkids but the oldest, Bradley, son of Zac, is only 8 years old! So a Bates is having another grandbaby quite frequently. Erin has 5, her oldest is just a bit younger than Bradley. Tori, Alyssa and Zac each have 4 kids, so there are lots of grandkids, all around the same age. KJ is definitely losing interest, she won’t do more than stop by Katie’s for a photo and drop off presents. Apparently she loves to shop for her grandkids. By the time Callie or Ellie has a baby, they might just get a present.

I wonder how Daddy Clark reacts to the Stew Crew? He seems like he doesn’t put up with too much nonsense and Travis and Katie are constantly with his family. Will we get a YouTube video with Leisure Boy trying to catch Daddy Clark doing something interesting? Or will Daddy Clark be wrestling with Evan?
