The Duggalos: Jinger and the Holy Goalie

[BitterApple]

Judging by the arm bracelet and mass-produced artwork in the background, Jinger is most definitely in a hospital or birthing center.

I also agree that Jeremy is looking weird in pictures lately, almost like he's in some kind of pain. I'm giving Jinger a pass because she just pushed an eight pound baby out of her hoo-ha, but I would've expected Jeremy to look a little more excited.

Anna had one of the kids on the toilet.  Either Marcus or Meredith I think.

It was Michael.

Good to know. I didn't see a bracelet on the baby or on Jinger, so I was concerned. She's a good, healthy weight without being a giant like her cousins, and it appears that Jinger gave birth without drama or complications. 

I think that this is the only family that we've seen so far where she has any chance of being loved as a person and not as a notch on a belt. I wish them all the best.

We should be able to see the difference when Jinger and Jeremy have to do their visits to the TTH and we can see the cousins together. This will be Michelle's first grandchild that lives states away so I wonder how she will respond to Felicity.

Felicity Smoak?  Tech genius?  Here’s hoping some of her badassery rubs off on baby Felicity.

Love the name.  Felicity is old-school and there won’t be any in her class.  I haven’t heard that one in my mommy circles at all.

 

Like she will ever see the inside of an actual classroom .

If the baby was born at 4:37 he has probably not gotten any sleep since yesterday morning.

At first glance I thought the name was "Fertility Nicole."

I'd normally agree, but I think if any Duggar grandchild stands a chance at some form of actual schooling---albeit, likely private and Christian based, it's gonna be Felicity. 

I agree.  I can see Jeremy wanting HIS children to get a formal education, and of course at a Christian school. No Duggar Academy for him, lol!

Wasn’t Jeremy homeschooled for a long time, then went to public school where he considers himself to go off the rails? 

He might be all for homeschooling

God, I hope not!  I want that little girl to have a chance to get an education.  If the person teaching the homeschool had skills or at least the drive to make sure she got the best education possible, okay, but I have a hard time believing that, given Jinjer's abysmal schooling, that Felicity and any siblings would get a better education than their mother.  Although there is the distinct possibility that Jinjer and Babe would step up to the plate and do a great job.  I just don't know.  We'll see.  By the way, congrats to the new parent!  She is a lovely baby, and a pretty name to match.  Props to them for seemingly delivering in a hospital as well.

[queenanne]

Yay!  Nice-looking baby though I'm surprised the photographer didn't go a little more aerial, you can't actually see much of her face in that snap as a result of it.

[dorcastrilling]

I love her name. Is it crazy that I care that Jinger actually did a great job with pregnancy birthing and naming?

[Abstract]

This name snob heartily approves of the name. Classy all the way.

[LexieLily]

How much of a bad person am I that I was wishing that the magazine article is the first time all the Duggars were hearing of Felicity's birth?

In comparison to her sisters, yes. Michelle, IIRC, only had one nine-pounder and that was Jessa. 

ETA: The name isn't that bad at all. It wouldn't be my first choice for my daughter and I'm glad my first choice hasn't been picked by any of the married couples. Sadly, a future son's name has. Oh well. 

Spurgeon Poshsprinkles? ;) 

Good for the Vuolos for picking a good name and a hospital/birthing center birth. Stuff it, Aunt Jill. 

[GeeGolly]

It appears to be a TLC photo. A photo that keeps viewers guessing. Tight shot, Jinger in street clothes and barely a shot of the baby at all.

They played it safe by giving Felicity Jinger's middle name.

Giant baby headband with a bow. Why?

Baby is here. 

 

[GeeGolly]

Looks like a hospital blanket and cap. And Jinger's hair looks straight. I can't imagine doing my hair and applying make-up within hours of giving birth because in the other pic Jinger's hair is wavy. She must have given birth and cleaned up quickly.

Lovely name...no Mary Magdalene mother of Jesus names. No home toilet birth attended by Jill and her medical things.

Win-Win!!

I'm surprised they picked Felicity - that's a nice Catholic name.  St. Felicity was one of the early Christian martyrs

Much better picture from their blog.  I’m surprised this wasn’t the one sent to US Weekly.

Love the name. I have a family member named Felicity, so I'm good with it. She looks adorable and healthy and seems to be born in a hospital or birthing center..win win!

The art teacher at my twin's HS named her daughter Cinnamon. I thought it was an interesting name then I found out her husband was a baker and he came up with the name.

I'm still going with a semi-Italian name, Ava Maria. 

In the TV version of Mission Impossible, Barbara Bain's character was named Cinnamon Carter. So, the name has been around so some time.

Congratulations to the couple.  I'm glad all are well.  I'm a little disappointed that we didn't see an Eva Grace, but,.......lol. I'm sure that Felicity will work just fine.

I noticed that with Jinger's hair, it seemed loosely curled, which got me to thinking.  Do you think the girls still get perms?

 That’s not at all unusual. It’s a good position for pushing and birthing. What’s unusual is that it was televised for the world to see!

Nice name.  Happy for Jinger and Jeremy.  

I wonder if Jill and Jessa will send good wishes.  I'm sure they still haven't gotten over the fact that Jinger has a girl on her first try and they both have two boys.  

I don't understand why everyone thinks Jessa and Jill are jealous of a girl child.  The males rule in their belief system.  And I'm sure Jeremy is jonesing for a boy child he can name after himself.

 I give him a little bit of a pass. Working with new dads every day, they are usually pretty exhausted, nervous, with emotions all over the place wanting to support their partner and new baby but feeling unsure in the new role.

I like the name.  Not something I would pick, but it is a real name and spelled correctly, so it works. Jinger looks tired. Poor thing had to get all dolled up for a photo shoot, so Jeremy can show off his perfet family. 

More like had to get all dolled up to earn that paycheck and there's no way Jinger would ever allow herself photographed for a magazine without makeup on. Making money--despite having zero skills or work ethic--just by slapping on some makeup when tired seems like a sweet deal to me.

I was really hoping Jinger would be the one fundie who didn't slap a huge ugly headband on a baby girl.

[awaken]

 I really like the name. It’s a character/virtue name but not too on the nose like faith, hope, Joy, charity, etc. 

 And, it doesn’t start with a J. I really hope we will not see a letter name theme!

While I agree that their belief system is very heavily male, this is another area in which Jinger can stand out. To date, Anna---the in-law---was the only girl producer which gave Jinger or Jessa the ability to have a 'first'. Add in that Jinger just did pregnancy better and yeah, I could see some bitterness. Maybe not from Jessa, but from Jill. Jill was the perfect Gothard daughter and her adult life has been shit---it's likely rocking her faith a bit.

Because apparently in their religion, having your older children be girls means you can throw the responsibility of all future babies and housework on them as Michelle did.

I was raised Catholic and I remember a lot of girls in my class choosing Felicity for their Confirmation name. It's an interesting selection given the Duggars' belief system.

Smart them using Jinger's own middle name for her daughter.  No way to show any favoritism to either side of the family with that, though maybe to hers a bit. 

I like it.  Good job V's!

[MichaelaRae]

What a cute little nugget! And now the race is on for, I think, the only remaining "first" for the Duggar daughters (though given statistical odds, maybe we should let the Duggar sons play too): which one will deliver the first set of twins? (Jessa's been champing at that bit since Spurgeon.)

Let's see how long Jeremy can hold the door shut and prevent the Duggs from invading Laredo....

JD is too busy courting AbaDaba  to fly the clan so the Duggs may have to load up the bus and do a road trip.

Would JimBlob and Chelle  take a commercial flight?

I am sure Jeremy would rather they stay in their Holler and he will bring Jinge and Felonious up to see them when he is ready....

I deal with students at Orientation at our school so I see a ton of names and it is always fun to see what the trends were back when these kids were born.  Natalie was pretty popular a couple of years ago when it wasn't that common before.  I saw one yesterday that I had never seen before.  Ruining.  Yes, Ruining.  I googled it and its a thing.  Learn something new everyday!

I look forward to Felonious going to an approved Christian school so Jinge will learn what she didn't as a child...

Imagining Jinge sitting with her daughter  reading and going over homework with Jinge's eyes getting big and her thought bubble saying...why didn't I ever learn this stuff?

Why did I never learn anything above a third grade level...my 8 year old child has already exceeded my education...

Unlike Jilly who doesn't have 2 working brain cells to rub together, Jinge may actually wonder why she was deprived of a basic education.

I'm glad everything went well & she is a cutie. It's so nice to see all three of them dressed nicely for the family picture as opposed to the vagabond look Jill & Derick sported when Izzy was born.

This is me now, doing school work with my kids, after my education in schools held in church basements, taught by teachers trained at Bob Jones U. It’s sad, hard, and makes me very angry to see what I missed, and how much potential was wasted.
