She’s full in the face and didn’t post a whole body shot. Confirming her pregnancy. 

If Ofsmuggar (or anybody else) had been pregnant every time somebody here claimed she was because she's "full in the face" or whatever, she'd have 12 kids by now. 

That said, if she continues on her previous timeline, she'll be announcing sometime this summer or fall. Her kids, except Mackynzie and Michael, have all been two years or two years + a few months apart. 

[Temperance]

The thing is Anna is usually quick to deny she's pregnant and laugh it off. I think she's pregnant, because she hasn't responded to the rumors. It would be early for but not by much depending on when she's due.

There's a video showing Anna's midsection. She's pregnant. Anna has given birth in every odd year since they were married.

Not to mention, Priscilla has also been on a very regular schedule with her kids. Until this last one who came about six months earlier than "normal." There's absolutely no reason Anna couldn't also have one off "schedule."

I agree. She looks slightly cuter here, but I haven’t found her to be a very attractive baby!  I’m sure she’ll grow into her looks.

She looks like a female version of Marcus. He still hasn't grown into his looks, and he's what, 7 or 8?

Is Josh still allowed to have a phone?

If so its probably someone on a dating site calling him back

I disagree that she looks like Marcus. For some reason I've always found his odd look kind of cute. I agree with whomever said she looks like Pa Keller. Hopefully she'll grow into her looks, but I'm not counting on it.

She's had six kids, and she likely lives on a heavily processed diet. She probably always looks pregnant. Until SHE announces it, it's just more rampant speculation.

There was a screenshot, that does not look like just fat to me

She’s understandably overweight but she hasn’t reached that level of obese where she looks permanently pregnant.

I did not say or mean that Ofsmuggar is overweight; l was referring to her shape after six kids. 

Mullet isn't obese, but she looked pregnant for years after her last.

We saw a screenshot of a birthday party Jessa posted and she definitely looked pregnant, not just a little thick in the middle. 

[beckie]

She could have something wrong with her. I knew a woman whose midsection looked like that, all the time. She wasn't pregnant,  but had medical issues.

[BetyBee]

I think Anna is pregnant, if only because "when you hear hoofbeats think horses not zebras"

Rampant speculation is our specialty.

Rampant Speculation R Us 😉 

[Portia]

Up until that recent screenshot of her, I'd been thinking Anna looked pretty great for a woman who'd been pregnant so much the past decade. I vote pregnant. 

[truebluesmoky]

They do like to space out their announcements for “press” purposes, so maybe they agreed Jessa would go first, then Kendra’s birth announcement, and we will hear Anna’s pregnancy confirmed in another week or so. They can’t take the chance that too many announcements at once might prevent one of them from getting a Facebook tabloid headline.

[laurakaye]

At some point they are going to have to space out those announcements by the day rather than the week or month - like, sorry Kendra, your eighth pregnancy announcement is on Thursday - no, hold on - Jessa goes on Thursday, you go on Friday, Anna gets Saturday unless Joy or Lauren give birth, then you wait until Sunday and Anna gets Friday.  They'll need a gigantic color-coded whiteboard eventually.

Anna will have to post soon because surely JD/Abbie and Josiah/Lauren have "announcements" waiting and the Justin/Claire marriage in mid april if we are to believe the registry date posted

[3 is enough]

Meanwhile there are 3 Bates grandbabies due in June, and 3 ongoing courtships .  The Duggars only have 1 grandbaby on the way and one scheduled wedding.  Someone better step up and make an announcement. 😜

At the moment there are 8 (soon to be 9) married Duggars, but if all the current Bates courtships end in marriage they will have 10.

Duggars have 18 grandchildren plus 1 on the way.  Bates have 14 with 3 on the way.

We all know it is a competition.  The question is what bragging rights are more important: the number of grandchildren or the number of kids married off?

[crazy8s]

I do think JB is waiting to pull out a Jed! and Jer twin wedding for PR and a VSE. something the Bates family can't do

[Rabbittron]

I wonder if they are not announcing her pregnancy because of Josh?

I still wonder if Josh and Anna are going back on the show. It wouldn't surprise me. There are many people who comment that they miss Josh. Or feel that he's been punished enough.

Could you imagine that conversation? JB would be torn between his christian morality and his desire to make a buck 'cause you know TLC would be all over that wedding.

Duggars have 20 grandchildren with 1 on the way that we know.  (Josh 6, John 1, Jill 2, Jinger 2, Joseph 3, Josiah 1, Joy 2, and Jessa 3 with 1 on the way.) 

Bates have 15 grandchildren with 3 on the way (Tori, Whitney, Josie).  

[all fall down]

The Kellers have them beat with 27 grandkids and 2 on the way (Suze* and Nathan). If Anna announces that's even one more for the Kellers. 

*Suze hasn't had hers yet right? 

 

[3 is enough]

Wow.  I sure screwed up that math.  How embarrassing.

[ozziemom]

Well the grandchildren count seems to change too frequently to keep accurate track of! Until a Bates or Duggar starts reproducing like Esther, who has 10 or 12, it will be tough to catch the Keller clan.

I thought you did great!  You'd need a Master's Degree in Complex Fractational Trigonometry and the world's biggest whiteboard to keep track of all these baby machines.

No worries.  I'm sure JB and M wouldn't have come as close as you did to the actual numbers.

I believe someone just proved why they weren't admitted to the prestigious SOTDRT.    It's either that or your application was immediately rejected when they saw your name.

It’ll be like The Parent Trap— one woman playing dual roles for the  camera.  Where’s our fundie Hayley Mills or Lindsay Lohan at?

The number of grandkids is more important because they are raising God's army.

Jana gave up on Jana.

[Nysha]

I think Jana's content. She has parented many of her siblings and knows if she wants to have a baby of her own JB would scour the fundy earth to find her an acceptable husband. Instead she has more hobbies than any of the other sister-moms, plenty of spending money, and gets to go places with her BFF, Laura.

What she's dumping him in 34 years? 

[emmawoodhouse]

It goes to prove that there's someone for everyone. That said, I don't think Smuggar will make it 33 more years.

[iwantcookies]

Joshua will croak in the next 5 if he doesn’t lose weight
