Jessa, Ben and Their Brood: Making a (Diaper) Mountain out of a Mold House

[MonicaM]

The only surprise about this pregnancy is that it didn't happen sooner.  

[Ljohnson1987]

Jessa. No one is surprised you're with child again. Your maiden name is Duggar. All you do is think about which Fundie guy you're going to marry, and how many children you can pop out.  I hope Bin and Jessa get real jobs. The TLC money isn't going to last forever. Although, I bet this is going to be the main focus of season three of 'Boring Us'. I'm waiting for Jill, Anna and Jinger to get pregnant too, so we can have the baby bump pic. I hope Jessa doesn't post as many selfies this time. Especially since they landed on a porn website. Jess, you're not the first, or last person to get pregnant or give birth. This is going to be their excuse for not adopting.  They're never going to adopt.  I hope Jessa has a hospital birth this time. Please, Jessa. For the sake of  your child, go to the damn hospital. A death from child birth isn't going to raise the ratings for your awful show.

Alone time with his thoughts...if that isn't a one-sided conversation.

[this-one-is-mine]

I wonder if Jill still hasn't ovulated since she's breastfeeding, and that's why she isn't knocked up yet. I didn't ovulate until almost a year and a half after my older son was born. It's nature's way of spacing out pregnancies. Oh, I'm sorry, God's way.

[Ljohnson1987]

Maybe Jill is actually being smart (A stretch I know) and using methods to prevent pregnancy in Zika America. 

[cdp73]

I wonder if when she (Jill) told the doctor to "stitch her up good," he took her literally and sewed her shut.

That was Jill. 

[FakeJoshDuggar]

Two kids. Zero jobs.

[BitterApple]

Yay. Another baby for two unemployed idiots. Congrats.

And no, Jessa, the baby wasn't a surprise. If you're young, fertile and having sex regularly, a pregnancy is inevitable.

Really. REALLY. why cant they just be honest  "We are too ignorant to practice responsibly breeding and need elevently speshul God Warrios so we have unprotected sex all the time to have as many babiezzz as possible" UGHGHGHH

 

The trouble with ignorance is that it makes you too ignorant to realize you're ignorant.

Duggars and the Dunning Kruger effect -- a perfect pair.

[BradandJanet]

Ben 15 years from now:

1. A dozen-plus kids

2. A dumpy wife (see Michelle) who lost her "sweet" years ago

3. Still doing "property maintenance" for his father-in-law (aka no megachurch preaching gig)

4. Desperately trying to recapture the youth he never had

I almost feel sorry for the guy but I'll let the feeling pass.

Jessa's already turning into a major frump and she's only 1.5 kids deep. That doesn't bode well for the future.

Her mother and sister ovulate at the latest four months after birth, and they breastfed. Derrick is just one of two. I think his swimmers aren't as potent as Ben's,  Smuggar's, or even TFDW's. All of their fathers were virile, and their mothers fertile Myrtles. 

And no, this is no surprise at all. I even said she was wearing the baggy clothes until People/TLC PR greenlighted the announcement. She will be wearing body con tops from here on out.

[lulu69]

Jessa is going to get a major reality check when people don't make a big deal about this 2nd pregnancy. Better start working those baby bump selfies princess. Ho hum....

That's part of the reason the tight shirts will soon be making a comeback. Girl knows how to sell herself as the "hot" Duggar.

Who couldn't see that coming a mile away.  It is unfortunate that another child will be subjected to that upbringing.  Hope she is more careful this time around. 

[TaxNerd]

Did Jessa include the as many kids as God allows language in her vows?  Or was that only Josh?

[Sew Sumi]

Jill and Derrick have also said as much, but they didn't show them saying it in the vows. Benessa only talk about having a "football team" of boys and adoption. I suppose "leaving it up to God" is implied, but on the show they only aired the vows they found on Pinterest, and those were about commitment and "pursuing" each other.

I see ratings are down so a pregnancy was convenient.

I'm really liking Tilapia Seewald.  At least the child could shorten it to "Tilly," unlike her big brother "Spurge."

Good choice:  Tilapia is known as a bottom feeder.

Erin is great, so much more refreshing than the Duggars

[Sew Sumi]

Jessa would never post anything that was less than perfect. 

[Celia Rubenstein]

Ratings Grab Seewald.

[Fuzzysox]

I'm liking Seeweed the best.

[yogi2014L]

I wonder if Jessa and Bin got tested for zika before getting PG?? That could be a concern. When was their visit to CA vs when Spawn of Seewald was conceived?

 

I stopped being lazy and googled CDC : They say people should practice safe sex for 6 months if the Male was diagnosed/had Zika sympotms

I really hope they got tested/ and are actually getting prenatal care this time

From CDC website

"CDC therefore recommends that non-pregnant couples consider using barrier methods to protect against infection or abstaining from sex for at least 8 weeks after illness onset if a female partner is diagnosed with or experiences symptoms of Zika, and for at least 6 months if a male partner is diagnosed with or experiences symptoms of Zika. The longer precautionary period recommended for men with Zika takes into consideration the fact that Zika can persist in the semen of infected men after they have recovered from illness. "

No, their trip to Danger America was around March. Godman would have been conceived sometime in May (I'm betting Ben's birthday mid-month) for a February due date. 

Is the green thing in the toilet an individually wrapped maxi pad? If so, oh dear...

At least Jessa waited until after the pee stick was dry to announce. Jill wasted no time.

"Due in February, the exciting pregnancy news comes as a surprise since the couple (who are already parents to 9-month-old son Spurgeon) have dreamed of adopting since even before their November 2014 wedding." 

Every word of that sentence apart from "Due in Feburary" is pure fan fic.

What part of "we're screwing like bunnies without birth control, but we are SO SHOCKED another baby is on the way" do these morons not get? Bonus question: Did Guinn Seewald cry when she considered the fact that her son is still unemployed and cannot support a family of four with YouTube "sermons" and his Instagram account?

I'd also like to join the chorus of those who think a hospital birth would be more appropriate this time around. That is, unless Jessa Blessa wants to bleed out on camera. Imagine the ratings!

Considering the fact that Bin bludgeoned the entire family into supporting his ridiculous name choice for his first son, I think he's going to double down on this one. Let us consider the cutesy ditty that every fundie of a certain age learns in church...

There's your winner--Schofield Tyndale Seewald.

I guess it's better than Ocean King PenaVega.

[Sew Sumi]

They could use Elliot as a middle name twice if it's a girl and they name her Elisabeth, who was the wife of Jim Elliot. Even though she remarried after his murder (twice, IIRC), she sure kept his memory alive and made lots of money off of it. 

Otherwise, what do they have for a girl other than biblical names, or character names like Temperance, Liberty, Verity or other Vision Forum winners. Sadly, I can't recall the names of Dougie Phillips' kids, and they're scrubbed from his Wikipedia page (probably by Dougie himself). But those poor girls...

[Sew Sumi]

If they're going to keep up with the S theme: Sarah Elisabeth Seewald.

I called it first! (Don't doubt my powers of prognostication. I called Spurgeon!)

I'm not surprised, just disappointed. Poor Jinger, thunder stolen, pregnant Jessa strutting her modest self at the wedding. Maybe Jessa can faint walking down the aisle to completely get the attention off Jinger.

Maybe they'll misappropriate more Judaism, like Jill. Menorah D'light Seewald.

I don't know enough history - who were historical protestant preachers who opposed Catholicsm? I think they'll start there. It's a them now!

[Sew Sumi]

Yeah, for the boys, you can't go wrong with Calvinist preachers. They already have one.

Part of me wonders if Erin didn't stage that photo. How  would Carson be able to reach things that would normally sit on top of a counter? The kid's only a year old. I can't imagine they'd leave chemicals like air fresheners within a baby's reach. The only reason I bring it up is because I have an annoying cousin who turned into a Mommy Martyr once her second kid was born. Every FB post was an obnoxious "only a mother of two could possibly understand" passive-aggressive dig, just like what Erin did here.

Maybe we'll be seeing some of this from Jessa if Jill doesn't get pregnant soon.

Erin's post is silly. 

She is 1 of 19 children...this is a surprise to her?
