Temperance 23,593 September 1, 2020 Quote John David goes from bachelor till the rapture to dad! He prepares for the arrival of his first child by making a video for Abbie. Abbie goes into labour, but it's deemed a false alarm. After labouring overnight, she and John meet their daughter. Her name is Grace, but they call her Gracie. Also John David isn't a "bachelor father" he got married and was married over a year (about 14 months) before Grace was born. But hey this happened in 2020! They're catching up. 8 Share this post Link to post

auntieminem 3,182 September 2, 2020 It looked like Jana was wearing pants when JD was doing the video for the baby. Did I see wrong? Though I would not be surprised if the adult Duggar daughters decided to wear pants but film in dresses and skirts. This family, what is real and what is just for show? 3 Share this post Link to post

sATL 11,016 September 2, 2020 Do all of the Duggar women who deliver in a hospital use the same OB-GYN, like all of the Bates women do ? Surely there has to be another Dr. Vick in Arkansas who, awaits for the next baby to drop. I do admire how JD/Abbie managed not to have the pushing part of the birth filmed. Abbie's father is the 1st grandfather-to-be (Bates&Duggars) that made himself useful during home-part of labor, that we've seen, right? It seems like his readings and rubbing her back brought her comfort. Edited September 2, 2020 by sATL 7 Share this post Link to post

SunnyBeBe 60,518 September 3, 2020 I laughed when I read upthread about Momma Duggar. lol In NC, many people call their parents mama, mommy, daddy, for their entire lives. Age makes no difference. And, I looked into my phone and saw that I have my father listed as Daddy James home and cell. lol I have no idea why. I have my brothers listed similarly. I have no real issues with this couple, but, I most admit that I'm always a little taken aback when people stress how much someone else takes care of them. Maybe, having your DH do your toe nails is romantic, but, IDK. I prefer a salon, if possible. I've never felt the need to be taken care of. I have a friend who's husband used to tell her what she needed to eat at meals, administered her her daily medication and supplements, and insisted she drink enough water every day. She thought this was great. She was in her mid thirties. They seem to be very happy, so, that's wonderful. Glad Gracie and mom are healthy. She shouldn't have to be embarrassed she got an epidural. lol Edited September 3, 2020 by SunnyBeBe 2 Share this post Link to post
