I dunno, a lot of the "macho" types (and honestly I don't see Jeremy being all that macho, but I digress) like having a little girl. I could see him enjoying being the only male in the household, dressing up the baby, etc. Not saying he wouldn't want a son eventually, but I don't think he'd be disappointed by a daughter.

And I, too, hope that if any of the Duggar girls has a daughter, it's Jinger. Less likelihood of this little girl becoming a sister mom. And she'll get to wear pants!

I hope Jin has a girl also, and Jessa/Jill have nothing but boys.  

These people and their sister moms make me ill.

Tough crowd!  She's wearing modern shoes with closed toes, pants, and a shirt that literally calls back to her family's ridiculous rules and there are still 35 things wrong with what she's doing.

I know, I like babies.  I would’ve enjoyed Jinger as photographer or Jinger as college graduate, but if she’s simply not ambitious, also no surprise.

If what they showed in Counting On is anything to go by, Jinger sat around for a year in that little apartment watching Jeremy study and walking to the grocery store to buy 1 apple at a time. It was never clear if Jinger wanted something more from her life and Jeremy wouldn't allow it, or if this is just Jinger's personality based on how she was raised. It was really sad to watch either way. But I think the girls are happy with their lives, because their expectations are low as far as what they should want from a career or anything. The only Duggars who ever seemed genuinely miserable were Josh when Anna announced baby #4 was on the way, and Anna when she had to talk about Josh's affair on camera.

Was Jeremy a virgin when they got married? I thought I remembered that Jeremy was a born-again virgin. Maybe they could use natural birth control because Jeremy actually knew how to pull it out in time (not implying that that actually works, BTW).

It was also never clear if Jeremy wanted to limit Duggar family visits because he is trying to control Jinger, or if he just hates the Duggars.

My money is he cannot stand to be around the Duggar clan. They make my in-laws look like saints and believe me that is no easy thing to do. *whistles on my way to the Prayer Closet*

You're right.  My friend Rosario is male.  He's told me that his name is an either/or name in Mexico.

My Italian grandfather was named Rosario.  My grandmother, his wife, was named Rosaria.  In the US they were called John (go figure!) and Sarah.

Is Anna pregnant again?  She looks like it.  Joy looks like she is going to pop any second.

My goodness they truly are so strange.   Both Anna and Jessa look pregnant to me also.  Maybe they are going for a family record for the number they can birth in one year so sick.

Maybe they are trying to Keep up with the Kardashians?

I can't totally fault Joy for rubbing her belly - every single woman friend I've known who was pregnant seemed to just instinctively do the same thing. I imagine if I had a little alien creature wiggling around in there, I might be similarly inclined.

Me too. I found it super natural to always have a hand on my belly when pregnant. I also remember feeling "lonely" after my little passengers came out, LOL.

IRT to Jeremy and BC: Does anyone know what protestant denomination Jer identifies as? And what their stance on BC is?  I know Jer is pretty anti-Catholic and one of the criticisms of us by some Protestants has been that we have tons of kids.  (See: Every Sperm is Sacred, lol)

I am like 99.999% sure that Jer is NOT down with the Quiverful thing, so he may really have no problem with BC, and I think Jinge is also inclined to not want eleventy kids. She hasn't been afraid to break away form her upbringing in other ways, so I doubt she cares what her folks think about this either.

I don't think it is much to go by. I think Jinger "behaves" for Counting On, because of her parents.  You will never see her in pants on TV. By she is up to all kinds of stuff in her Instagran. She is in pants all the time in those photos. Plus the photos of her at college. So at some point she was/is going to classes.  I would bet she has been up to way more than they would ever show on Counting On. Which is sad. I bet whatever she is doing is a lot more exciting to watch than Jessea making Joy clean her couch!

The Counting On shows are "scripted reality". I don't think any of them spend regular days like what we see on the show. Maybe that is why they all look out of it. It is probably a wild noisy house. 

This can't be said enough. We acknowledge that what "reality" tv shows isn't reality*, but at the same time we (general we) think that what reality tv portrays is reality.**

 

*Michelle as mother of the year, Jill as an actual midwife, for instance. 

**Jinger sitting around doing nothing for a year.

My dearly departed chinchilla was named Flip Wilson.  HUGE fan!  I am old too.

My dad loved watching Flip Wilson.  It was along the lines of Laugh-In, and he loved that too.  I too watched now and then.

Jin is the best-looking one in the bunch.  I really don't see the resemblance to Ma K though...a mini-me girl for Jin would be a very cute kid.  I just hope Jer exceeds my expectations, and dotes on the baby, and is an amazing dad.

I would actually be okay with this, because it would more than likely mean they would go to a real school!!!

I really kind of think Jeremy would send his kids to a real school.  He seems to value education and intellect.  He may not, and not as disrespect, think Jinger's qualified to teach the children.

It's the liberal Protestants (the mainline, as they're sometimes called) who mainly criticize the Catholic birth control ideas, though.

All the Duggar adjacents are various flavors of very conservative Protestants who, at least in their public pronouncements are various degrees of birth-control-opposed or at least birth-control-skeptical  -- and most are particularly opposed to the pill, because they believe the idea that it actually causes abortion. However, like many Catholics, they don't necessarily eschew BC in real life, especially if it's not the pill.

Jeremy appears to be a Reformed (i.e., Calvinist) Baptist, like his father. They tend to speak against the pill, often strongly, but especially as you get to the less stringently conservative of them you tend to find people who are open to barrier methods. Because Protestants have essentially millions of churches, rather than a Church, their views can be and are all over the map about stuff like this.

Jeremy was homeschooled, wasn't he?  Then went to public high school because he wanted to play soccer. 

He was, but his parents were well educated. Additionally, I think it is much easier to teach elementary school adequately than high school 

I highly doubt that he thinks that Jinger is qualified to homeschool past kindergarten. At least I hope he realizes that she isn't.

I don't mean this as a dig towards Jinger. I also feel I like would not be qualified to homeschool any kids and I have a bachelor's degree.  I am bad at math and don't care about grammar. 

My parents' neighbors also home schooled their kids until high school, for religious regions. The mom asked my mom about the high school ( that we all graduated from) and was concerned that the teachers curse at the kids. lol. Bless her heart . It was a public high school with aboout 4000 kids. A lot of cursing going on :-P

Yeah, I feel pretty sure that if you're going to homeschool everything K-12, you have to be both (a) well rounded, and (b) strict about not caving to your whiny kid who doesn't want to learn the stuff they're bad at.

Well. No one would forget that there is a Jason. Just call out Jeremy and someone will respond.

I don’t think Jeremy would choose a Hispanic name for his kid, he and his family seem to have a slightly superior, better than you attitude about these sort of things. If it’s a boy it will either be an Anglo version of an existing family name, or it will be 90% chance of William, 10% chance of Liam. Girl will be Ella/Emma/Eva.

My mother's cousin's name was Nicoletta and my grandmother's name was Giulia. (there is no 'J' in the Italian alphabet). Hey, how about Giulia Nicoletta Vuolo? Boob would LOVE THAT...no 'J's".

Where are Diana Vuolo's parents? Are they still with us and are/were they Italian at all? I don't think Jeremy is VERY Italian if he's only 1/4 Italian,...the mom is the influence in the kitchen...Grandma Vuolo was taught HER MOTHER IN LAW'S authentic recipes because back then, a new bride needed to cook to please her husband, who, BTW, IS all Italian.

LOL, this reminds me of when my friend got married. She and her husband are both Latinos but from different cultures, and his mother got her a cook book from their culture, explaining that it had her son's favorite recipes in them. My friend immediately and enthusiastically responded with, "Oh, I can't wait for him to make me one of them!"

I think Jeremy is more likely to pick an Anglo or ambiguous name, maybe with a more traditional but not too ethnic sounding Italian middle name, because weren't they trying to push the "ethnic" angle while they were courting?

Maybe Angela for a girl.

People on my Facebook have been sharing a post about Chik-fil-a supposedly gives free meals to new mothers around their due date. A small platter, four large fries, a gallon of tea/lemonade, and cookies. Right up the Duggar's alley. Surely if this is true they would have posted about it before? I don't remember seeing anything. With so many blessings, I figure they would be all over that.

That old Vuolo woman who gave Jinger the cooking lesson was not Italian (but her husband was).

I don’t see them using an Italian name either.  While his last name is Italian, Jeremy and his siblings don’t even have Italian first names. I haven’t really seen any evidence of Jeremy embracing his Italian heritage aside from Jinger attempting to make some meatballs. 

I think they will go cutesy but traditional.

Honestly, seeing Jingle and JereME with twins would be good for a laugh, in a nice way.  

In a snarky way?   jessa would be green with jealousy.  You just know Jessa desperately wants the attention twins will bring!  Jessa soaks up the attention her boys bring her and she is posting more and more of them because the attention just feels so goood.  Hmmm...who does that remind you of?

While I agree with you, I'll say a couple of things in her defense(?!!!). One is that I think that at least some of the Duggars (JB and Amy come to mind) have personalities that crave affection and attention, and she can't help it if she was born that way. The other is that I am 100% sure that Jessa, like all her siblings, is starved for attention and affection. Spending 20 years without a kiss or a hug or any kind of attention at all would make anyone crazy. If she revels in the attention she gets for being a good mom, that's probably a good thing.

to bring this back to Jinger, though, I think that part of the reason that Jinger has appeared so happy is that she is, finally, getting some attention and affection. That's got to feel really good.
