Surprised this hasn't been mentioned here yet. Jessa posted a full-body shot of herself to her Instagram stories where she doesn't look pregnant.

She's not facing to the side. It's harder to detect a bump from the front. She could still be preggo.

I don't think she's pregnant.  After two kids, Jessa no longer has a waist. She inherited  her mother's genes, which is why she will wear baggy clothes for the rest of her life.

[louannems]

It looks like a sleep tee.

And how do I find Instagram stories?

[Sew Sumi]

Go to their IG page. Their avatar is in a circle. If the circle is ringed with pink, they have a "story." Just click on the avatar to see it.

[whydoiwatch]

I don't use instagram/IG stories, etc.. but recall Old Navy swing dresses being mentioned by Jessa before - could this pic be rehashed? Not sure why I would remember such a thing, maybe it seemed odd at the time. She may as well try to show off her figure while she can, it won't be long until she will look like her mother. FWIW, I vote pregnant.

[Vaysh]

That dress looks like something I used to wear to bed when I was a kid. I want to say 'nightgown' but that sounds vaguely Victorian and I'm not sure if the word is used anymore but uh, whatever the modern stretch cotton version of nightgown is called. That's what the dress looks like. Looks very comfortable though and I'm sure it is very practical for a pregnant woman.

[xwordfanatik]

Jessa needs to attend one of Meri Brown's LuLaNo online events.  Everything looks like that dress, except the prints are beyond hideous.  

Oh wait, I suppose Meri being a proud polygamist wouldn't jive with the Duggardom's fundie beliefs.  LOL

Yup, nightgown.  That's exactly what I thought as well.

Well she is apparently buying online, so Old Navy doesn't seem to me to be run by crazy folks like her, so maybe she and Meri could hit it off and then TLC could do a spin off show and have meri and Jessa meet up in real life.  Jim Bob could throw everyone into the stinkbus and roll into Vegas to save everyone.  While Kody could attempt to convince Jim Bob that polygamy is the best way to follow the Lord.  Josh would of course agree with him and FT could explain to these poor folks who live in Arkansas what street tacos are.    Then they could up J'chelle's medication that she HAS to be on and get her in a choreographer dance routine with Christine.

Oh come ON, we tall girls have enough trouble finding clothes - you don't have to take what few tall size clothing Old Navy has away from us!

I have an Old Navy Tall swing dress, and I have TWICE, on two separate occasions, been asked if I "had a surprise." I have a very active job and very active children, so it's something about the dress that looks like maternity wear. Also, it comes well above my knees. I channel my inner Kate Middleton and wear black hose with black shoes with the dress give the illusion of more coverage.

I should be buying the tall version of these dresses, but I'm too cheap.  If I could get the tall in store at the same price of the regular side, I would buy them.  I just wear leggings under the too short dress.

Yes, but we have to remember that, for the Duggars, that counts as "dressy attire."

[Scarlett45]

This looks comfortable, like something you could throw on as a swimsuit cover up but is also actually clothing. I think the boys were finger painting her legs.

I think one of the kids left dirty finger prints on the bottom of the mirror. Either that or they finger painted directly on Jessa's legs...

I thought the same thing at first, that the prints were on her legs. Then realized they were on the mirror. Or are they??

Regarding MEchelle's legs & wearing dark hose:  Wasn't there a picture of her in her Nurse's dress at Famy's wedding where she is wearing natural colored hose? Her legs looked fine in that picture, no varicose veins like we speculated.

I want to see Jessa wear a belt with her Swing dress so we can decide if pregnant or not. Jessa, are you listening?

Good way for  her to get freebies from Old Navy.

It's a selfie in a mirror, which means it's mirrored twice. Her left hand is on the left, she's holding her phone with her right. Her wedding set is covered by the first 's' in 'dresses', not the 's' in 'obsessed'.

What is this "selfie" thing you speak of, Whipper Snapper???

Just kidding, sorry. I'm an old fart and I don't do selfies so the finer nuances of multiple reflections elude me.  Thanks for the explanation.

I enlarged the pic of her other hand I think I can see the edge of a ring on it. So my theory that she is not wearing her rings because she has puffy pregnant fingers just crashed and burned. 

I'm going back to the Derrick and Jill thread now. I'm having better luck speculating over there today.

Lots of other people would wear that dress around the house like she's doing and certainly to church in the church I grew up in.

Shit, I like the swing dress. I where a similar style because I'm apple shaped and swing tops, peasant tops and such don't accentuate my middle aged, middle body spread.

I like them too.   I have some from Old Navy and from other stores.   I also wear my size unlike Jessa.   It looks like she bought not only the tall size but she sized up.

There is a glimpse of Jessa in the new Smuggar birthday video wearing a baggy sweatshirt... the speculation can continue!

Engaged? That's Laura DeMasie and Jenny Hartono, longtime Duggar buds.

Also, "best friends forever" is a weird caption for a romantic kissing photo.

I dunno, lots of people send that wedding invite that says Today I Marry My Best Friend. 

 

That kiss was not meant to be a "real" kiss, it's an "Insta" kiss - Jessa probably took 14 versions and kept tweaking it until it looked good, LOL. Honestly, I'm glad. I dont need to see Ben slipping her the tongue. UG.

Ot occurs to me that all of these husband posts are just fundie girls competing.  My daughters' friends post stuff about cute clothes, shoes, places they go, etc. It's ALL competition, IMO, in all social media.  With the fundie crowd, the #1 category those girls want to one-up each other in is the "MY Husband is better than YOUR husband."

I don't think it's anything...I think the ick on the mirror from the baby's finger prints creates the illusion of gnarliness on her legs......

I totally missed that.  I thought her right leg was presenting like she had a bad reaction to a flea bite attack.  (allergic to fleas, here)

[MichaelaRae]

Come on, Jessa - your BIL Dullard is totally ruining your brand. Get sprogged up or announce that you already are before a) he ruins the brand (even more than it was) and/or b) the attention is off you. We know you won't stand for that.

Yes they seem to be scheduling one announcement per Monday:

week 1) Joy had the baby!

week 2)Josiah and Lauren are engaged

week3) Jessa's pregnancy?

week4) the gender of Jinger's baby?

week5) the gender of Jessa's baby?

week6) new courtship?

Silly you....Jessa never announces the gender of her baby. She even deceives by hinting that it could be twins. And she waits days or weeks to announce the name. Must keep everyone guessing.... and watching.... and clicking on her IG.

Whoever wrote that article needs a refresher on math.  21 weeks does not equal three months.

Nice try though, hey look here I am pregnant pay no attention to my crazy ass brother-in-law, my sister who, once again, barely escaped tragedy because of my other sister's idea that she is a midwife and who cannot avoid screwing up a birth.

Jessa didn't tell them. They have "inside sources" who claim to know she's pregnant. But this is a speculation/"our sources say article" not a official she's telling them. 

Considering they were suing In Touch, they probably aren't ready to give them an inclusive even for $.

It wouldn't be surprising if she was pregnant, because that happens to people who don't believe in birth control. But this article isn't proof and she may not be as far along as they say.

The Duggars will do anything for $$$, they’ve made a living out of exploiting children. Now Derelict is doing his best to derail the gravy train. Jessa is going to do what it takes so her husband never has to work again. Those diapers are not going to change themselves. J/K

Jessa had to the leak the news in order to steal Anna's thunder after she boasted that she is the mother to half of the Duggar grandchildren. (Pure speculation)

[GeeGolly]

In Touch could run the same article every couple of months and change the names, it's like predicting the weather and will be true eventually. That's kind of what we do. We just don't get paid for it.

Jessa may have the capability of doing something like that, but if Jessa did leak the news she would not have leaked it to InTouch.  InTouch is basically the last magazine Jessa would have anything to do with.

(Honestly, I  I wouldn't be surprised if it was Amy  who was the leaker, if, in fact, this is a leak and not a made-up story).

I suspect Famy is the "inside source" on all leaks regarding the Duggars Family.  How else is she supporting herself?  She doesn't work.  If confronted by Boob or any other family member I'm sure she denies it up and down.

I still see the Razorback 'fan' stuff from this family as a contradiction in their own stated beliefs. Don't they 'encourage' others to believe and live they do? Yes, they have done that publicly many times. In being Razorback football team fans, they are supporting those college students who live and believe differently than they do. Those students wouldn't be attending any college so there would not be a football team to cheer on. I'm confused by this family yet again.

As usual, I agree with you 100%.

I do understand the fierce allegiance people have to college teams in certain regions, regardless of whether or not they themselves are an alumnus or have kids/relatives who attend(ed).

I always thought it was weird as well for the Duggars to be such ardent Razorback fans,  especially because of the whole "it's a university/place for higher education" aspect.

Being around people at games for several hours at a time, who are either alumni, current students or other college educated people (who I imagine drink beer and let a few four letter words slip out) does not tempt them to think about higher learning/formal education/other options in life at all, but they must be covered up from head to toe, even during the sweltering summer months, to curb any other possible temptations? Hmmmm......

Interesting.
