Nathan and Esther: No Longer Lonely, Still Batesing Along

[cereality]

Apparently they are living in Arkansas - per a IG post from Esther yesterday saying "heading home to Arkansas." Unless she means home is wherever bc they are in their home at all times? In any event seems like they're staying in Arkansas at least for a bit. I'm guessing they're either paying for a spot at an RV park or are on one of Jim Bob's unused properties since Nathan is buddy buddy with a number of the Duggar brothers.

So MedicCorp has an instagram post up showing Nathan and another guy who is supposed to be the chief medical officer of MedicCorp riding around in Ukraine. Nathan says they have been asked to provide trauma training to emergency personnel in Ukraine.   Nathan he of a bible studies certificate from Clown College providing trauma training to emergency workers in a war zone. There is a part of me that says they can't possibly be lying about this but another part of me says well maybe they could. 

[emmawoodhouse]

Their chief medical officer is an RN. Even working in an ER all he might see is car crash victims. How is he with gunshot or shrapnel damage?

[Absolom]

Working in an ER he's probably seen a few gunshot victims and shrapnel's cousin with the fourth of July fireworks damage that shows up every year.  I'm sure the doctors in Ukraine have seen those, too.  Nathan really thinks he's believable?

[emmawoodhouse]

I am assuming he worked in an ER given the emphasis on trauma. 

But it's possible he's never been anywhere near an ER.

Hey. If he's there, and working for the good, good for him!

A = Airway B = Breathing C = Circulation. I'm sure any doctor can handle the basics.

But does Mediccorps have a doctor on staff on the front lines? Doesn't look like it.

[YupItsMe]

No baby announcement yet? Good for them, I guess.

[So unbelievable]

Esther, how do you feel about your husband returning from a war torn country just to go sky diving?  I would not be happy about that, but I guess if neither of us worked, you have time for stupid hobbies. 

[emmawoodhouse]

Nate's been back for a while. Lawson posted a story of the newlyweds visiting him in Nashville during the week. 

I don't think he lasted two weeks in and around Ukraine. 🙄

[So unbelievable]

The Easter candy drop from the helicopter was a joke.  What a waste of fuel and resources.  Not how I'd want to spend a holiday.  Getting wind blown and have candy chucked from above.  Give me an easter egg hunt any day over that.

[cereality]

Well they waited 3 mos to get pregnant or it took 3 mos of trying. Married in Oct, pregnant in Jan, baby due in Oct. Another couple with a baby by or before anniversary #1.

[emmawoodhouse]

It was the bubble bath. 

[BitterApple]

Ha ha, well that didn't take long!

I'm cool with Esther, mainly because she doesn't kiss Kelly's ass. I wonder if they'll stay in Arkansas or get pressured to settle down in Tennessee? 

[3 is enough]

Wonder if they will get a place now or just continue to live in the RV?

Esther posted the RV would be their home for their first year of marriage because of “their love of travel.” 

Think about renting an apartment or home. First, last, and security deposit. These debt free fundies don’t get the real world. 

[emmawoodhouse]

Sex reveal planned for this weekend. I'm guessing for Father's Day? Is Nathan going to drop colored water balloons out of his chopper? 🙄

[emmawoodhouse]

Surprising nobody, it's a girl! Kenna Joy. Whatever. 🙄

I feel sorry for Kenna Joy because I would bet money her idiot father is disappointed that his magic sperm produced a girl on the first go-round. 

Let's all keep our fingers crossed that the child looks like her mother and not Nathan. What an unfortunate face to happen to a child. 

[GeeGolly]

I noticed Abbie was there. Were any of the other RHOMC there?

Probably. But I think Joy in particular is hiding a pregnancy and camera shy.

[BetyBee]

At least their gender reveal looks like it wouldn't lead to any injuries!

Well, the guy parachuting in could have wrapped himself around a tree like Nate did the day before his wedding. 😂

I bet a boy would have been 

Thomas Cruz 

Or

🤣

Nathan already named his unborn daughter for him. His first name is Kenneth. 🙄

In school, I knew a girl named Kenya whose father was Kenneth.

That will never get old. Nate vs. tiny tree and somehow I feel like Nate lost. 

[BitterApple]

Kenna is a cute name. Throw me on the pile of those hoping she looks like her mom. 

[ginger90]

[SMama]

Any indication if it was a hospital birth? I hope they didn’t attempt an RV birth. 

[BitterApple]

I think it was a hospital birth. There's a family photo and both Nathan and Esther are wearing what looks like hospital bracelets. Esther also looks very chipper and well-rested, so I'm thinking she had an epidural. 

Kenna is a lovely baby, congrats to them.

And ruffles on the outfit. How else could we tell the spawn is female?

Kenna Joy - the next KJ, looks very much like a cute version of her daddy.

[Heathen]

Is that possible? 

[Cinnabon]

They’re SO in love, y’all! 🤦‍♀️😆

[Salacious Kitty]

Yesterday, I saw that Tiffy and Lawson made a 3am stop for coffee at an AR chain shop, so I knew the birth was nigh. Gil and Kelly had already been spotted in AR.

Congrats, I guess. 

[SMama]

OMG, poor baby Kenna was exposed to enough germs to give her any number of illnesses. Jud, Jeb, Ellie, Callie, Addee, T&L, KJ&G, John & Abbie, Jed & Katie, that Drew’s gal, her husband, and her kid. Why would anyone want that for their newborn. And that is what was captured on KJ&G’s story. I’m sure the many other unvaccinated Duggars got to hold her as well.

RSV and other respiratory illnesses are running rampant in the US right now. Hospitals in my area are updating their visiting policies to 12 and older, and a couple places its 18 and older.

I hope little Kenna doesn't get sick, including covid.

I'll never understand how they can be so careless when it comes to their kids' health.

Because everything that happens is god's will and the children will go to heaven. Which means they don't have to take responsibility and they can comfort themselves with the belief that their kids are in a better place.

If they truly believed that, they wouldn’t go running to hospitals when they got sick.

Is there any religion that doesn't say something like that? I don't think many of them say don't go to a doctor.

[I just looked up Christian Science and Jehovah's Witnesses and they do not forbid doctoring, though they may not be crazy about it, according to the sites I found.]

[Kiss my mutt]

I don’t understand Christian religions that against going to a doctor (at least on paper). Wasn’t Luke, one of Jesus’ apostles, a physician?

So Nathan and Esther went out to dinner on Saturday for their anniversary.  5 days after she had her baby.

I know I would not have been up for getting dressed up and leaving the baby so soon, especially with my first.  Given what I have seen of him I am guessing he really wanted his fancy steak dinner.  I do wonder who was watching the baby.  There was no evidence of them bringing her along.

[BitterApple]

I saw the picture and Esther had tired eyes and a tight, closed-mouth smile. She definitely wasn't giving energetic, date-night vibes, so I'm guessing Nathan was the one who pushed for the dinner.
