Gives "He is risen" a whole new meaning. 😉

On behalf of other hillbillies, I'd just like to say that I have some pretty serious white trash in the family, and none of them have ever taken a pregnancy test in a Walmart bathroom. And if they did

Was Jana there?

Not noticeably, and her name wasn't on the boy/girl guess list when they zoomed in (though others who were definitely there also weren't on the list, so not the best indicator).

The video showed them calling Jinger but nothing about the other two.

I think Jinger was Jed's buddy group leader sister mom real mom, so I could see why she would be a priority sibling to call.

Is Jim Bob that organized?  He and Michelle look fairly checked out these days.

Yea, I think JB&M see their micro level Fundy duties as done. They popped out 19 kids. Those kids are now building that army for God.

Having a son in prison for such egregious acts likely puts a kink in their macro level Fundy duties.

I’d bet that Jed could simply tell Anna himself to cough up an Aunt-Mom. Anna knows who the favored sons are and that list does not currently include her husband. I suspect that her “headship” is probably unofficially her brothers in law.

What a sad life.  And I have no sympathy for her at all.

Quoting myself, because hours later after I wrote this, I actually felt bad for saying what I did.  Honestly, who am I to judge?  But, also, Anna:  your husband did something so disgustingly terrible that's not in the Fundie handbook, so you can also do something not in the handbook and fucking leave this family!

Instead, it appears she’s just doubled down on the hate and bigotry and judgment of others 😡😡😡

They all have awful beliefs, and are pretty awful people, Anna is just especially vocal about it: "Look at me! Look at how meek and submissive I am! Look at how many children I can produce!" all with that smug, pinched smile on her face. We would all probably dislike the others as much -- if not more -- if they had been around when the show was airing.

I would feel bad for her if she wasn't so unpleasant -- she absolutely followed all the rules and now she has nothing.  She can't get any kind of a job or go to school, and she's got a swarm of little kids at home anyway. She has no friends outside of her immediate family. She doesn't have the emotional or financial resources to divorce Josh and start again. Seeing Jed! take Josh's place as the favorite son, and watching Katie crank out more babies has to hurt.

Anna reminds me of a cousin’s wife. She was a country girl, kind of plain, modestly dressed, and popped out three kids immediately. My cousin was an up-and-coming oncologist. Meanwhile, his wife was very dutiful - went to every baby shower, wedding shower, any family event loaded with presents and children. Well, he kind of hit it big time. he was the chief of oncology at his hospital, and he ran a camp for children with cancer. First casualty, first wife. it’s not like we didn’t know it was coming. She had a homemade dress for her wedding, and no alcohol. We are Catholics, and my uncle sent his kids out to get alcohol for the wedding. He was also a wealthy doctor, and poor girl just never fit in. 
 

Of course in Anna‘s case, her husband was exactly the same as her, except for his despicable hobbies that landed him in prison. But he did want something else. My cousin found a nice second wife, while stupid Josh found himself in the big house.

How old are their other kids? I get mixed up with so many of them. Truet and Nora?

i’ll never figure this one out. Katie seems very lively and normal for this world. Jed is a dud, but she’s so pretty and seems happy, and God forbid, secular.

I think Truett is two and a half, and Nora is twelve months younger. So Katey and Dumber will have four kids under three.

Maybe they named him after the chick fil a guy

Samuel Truett Cathy (March 14, 1921 – September 8, 2014) was an American businessman, investor, author, and philanthropist who founded the fast food restaurant chain Chick-fil-A in 1946.

I wonder if mentioning that gets them a free sandwich at CFA? 😉

I swear, I heard somewhere that that was a family name. Like someone in Michelle‘s family? Or maybe I’m just making it all up in my head. 
 

I always think about Sister Wives Truely. It’s interesting, and kind of cute, but that spelling never made any sense. Neither did they.

Christine Brown is into those godawful, super-duper "unique" spellings. You can look at the names of the Brown kids and pick out which ones are hers. "Ysabel," for crying out loud. 

Back to topic: I wonder what the latest spawn will be named.

Jed isn't aging well. 

Name a boy in that family who has. 
 

Christine also had Paden, Gwendolyn, with not that spelling at all but I’m too lazy to look it up. Mykelti, which is probably also not spelled like that. Who am I missing? Janelle had very traditional names. Logan, Madison, Hunter, Garrison (RIP) Gabriel, Savannah. And Meri’s (one R or two?) Mariah.

oh man, with twins, this could be wild. Have we heard the genders? 
 

Edited to add Christine‘s other child – Aspyn.

Three weeks early would not be a surprise then.  My over six feet tall friend laughed at the OB who assured her the twins would be early. They were a day or two after their due date.  I think my next door neighbor had hers less than two weeks before the due date and she's smaller than average.  They never saw the NICU.

These days, the general recommendation is that twins be delivered somewhere between 2 and 3 weeks prior to their due date because of the high risk of complications including stillbirth associated with twin pregnancies.  Chances are, she will either be scheduled for an induction or a cesarean at that point.

As far as whether the twins are identical; the odds of that are small.  First they've got to be the same sex (duh!).  The odds of having natural twins without fertility drugs is something like 1 in 250 pregnancies.  Of those pregnancies, maybe a quarter will be identical.  

The odds of having twins has increased a lot in recent years due to the fact that more woman are having babies after age 35 which increases the risk.  The biggest reason, of course, is because of fertility treatments which substantially increase the risk of multiples.  Even the simplest fertility drugs increase the chances of twins by a factor of 10. Twins that occur due to fertility treatment are fraternal; the odds of having identical twins is the same in woman who undergo fertility treatment as in women who didn't use medications.
