I wonder why no Jill? They're back in town.

Maybe they're still feuding over the emojis?

[Gweilo]

I'm pretty sure that's Jill sitting between Jessa and Kendra - in grey.

You're right! How on earth did I miss her?

[Zella]

So, maybe The Great Emoji Feud of 2019 has been settled peacefully after all. 😉

That or she just ignored Jill through the whole event. . . .

That waitress in the back looks OVER IT. I love her.

Probably because she had to play babysitter to the younger girls who had to sit at the ‘kids’ table.  

[galaxychaser]

I see Jill managed to untangle herself from Derecks boy parts and bed to go somewhere. Guess that week they didn’t do it 6 times.

Really slow day at people website 🤣

Amy writes a manifesto.

"Different phases in our lives"? With the exception of Deana and Michelle, they're all in the same baby-making phase. A phase they'll all remain in for the next 10 years or so.

Jana is not married. Johanna down to Ivy are still kids....Deanna and Michelle are post menopausal, so I get where she was coming from with that post. It was about all the women in the family spending time together. I would’ve called it a “multi-generational celebration” rather than “phase of life” but that’s just my way of phrasing things. 

[WalrusGirl]

And “different phases of our lives” in a more micro-sense also non-obviously acknowledges Joy’s recent loss, which I read as subtle and thoughtful/considerate.

Given that the major thing in Amy’s life has understandably been this pregnancy, my guess is she was also referring to the non-gestating/parenting (Jana and Laura, and the minor females/girls), the parenting but not-gestating or postpartum (Jing, Jill), and those doing the fourth trimester (Jessa), in contrast to her own and the Duggar in-laws’ pregnant phases. When you’re *in* those phases with your peers and friends, they do feel different, even though 5-20 years before or after those phases they’re kind of one phase. (No kids vs infants vs school-aged vs teens, etc.)

[EmeraldGirl]

I can’t say anything bad about Amy. We chat on Instagram and she is a genuine doll. Shrug.

She didn’t mention Jill 🤣. 

I would have been like and thank you cousin Jill for all your emojis filled Instagram.

[Barb23]

Why am I not surprised Ivy is in her stroller in front Auntie Jana rather than her mother who is on the other side of the photo?

[Snow Fairy]

That is what I was going to comment. Ivy in the front, Jessa way behind her..weird

[madpsych78]

I get why Jessa is in the back with Jill and Anna, they are the tallest of the women. I was thinking more that regardless of which baby it is, he/she always seems to be near Jana. I mean it would make more sense for Michelle to hold her own granddaughter, FFS.

Nothing like hiking in an ankle length dress (Josie... whose sleeves also look weird/ cumbersome) and open toe sandals (Johannah, Jordyn). 

[floridamom]

Those little girls are dressed like ragamuffins. Improper footwear yet again also.

 It is free to listen to, just click play, Jed’s bit is in the middle.  For someone that was homeschooled he cares a lot about local school boards. And yes, he sounds really really uneducated. 

In line with their thinking, those local school boards are hotbeds of the enemy, which continues to raise up armies to fight against the mighty armies  of Doug Phillips, Bill Gothard, and Jim Bob Duggar! They must be brought into line by Jed the Idiot and the other uniquely capable troops of these generals for the correct Jesus!

Um, what?

Hey, that was my favorite part! My favorite part in the world!

Is whiskey and cigars a growing trend?

It was a growing trend in the late 90s. 

And for some years after that it was dwindling trend. 

I don't know what it is now. 

Although maybe things are different in Arkansas.

We're usually a little--or a lot--behind. 😉

Most of the Arkansas guys I know drink whiskey, but they're not going to go to some hipster bar to drink their daily fifth of Jack. LOL 

And most of the hipster guys I know in Arkansas who actually live in Fayetteville might want something a little snootier than whiskey. Though I guess if it was snooty-enough whiskey, maybe that would work. 😂

Apparently baby Ivy is with her real mother Jana. Jessa seems to love and care for her first two sons only. Jessa is, after all, her mother’s daughter.

Funny how Jessa's boys and Ben, have been to every event Jessa has gone to. Want to bet Jessa made it a girls event only? The one and only girls event until the incoming half dozen are born, then we'll see the return of the boys and Ben.

I feel bad for Amy and Deanna as Mary surely would have been there. Does Amy have a grandma on her father's side?

[Sew Sumi]

Amy has never talked about grandparents from Terry's side. Or any relatives at all, come to think of it.

Now that I'm in my late 30s, I appreciate a nice sippin whiskey especially bourbon.   I also enjoy a nice place to drink without idiotic college students.  I can't get that drunk anymore.

Which one? Jimblob or Meechelle? 

[xwordfanatik]

Boob's big mug made me nauseous, but Michelle has that pasted on grin, too.

It's got to be a toss-up.  Those poor kids.

[Sew Sumi]

This is sad. From other pics on her Insta, this actual shower was smaller than the cheap ass sprinkle.

[Lunera]

I knew Amy was having a proper baby shower with her friends. She had the 'sprinkle' for the Duggars because they are cheap party poopers. I bet she even foot the bill for everyone.

We could sell raffle tickets. To me, his stupid mug says, "look at how many lives I've ruined! 19 kids and I've stifled every one of them!"

"Hey, kids, let's sing a dirge about hope!"

That is the least hopeful-sounding song about hope I've ever heard. It sounds like it is pitched too low for most of them, it is crazy slow in tempo, and they all sound medicated. I'd say keep your day jobs except they don't believe in day jobs. Or jobs of any kind.

Is it wrong that my 26 year old son turned me on to Irish Whiskey? Seriously, Jameson. Especially Coopers Croze.

Other than wine,  my husband only drinks Scotch.  Single malt scotch.   Glenlivet.  The older the better.  The older the more expensive.

A caveat.  One sip puts me to sleep!

Aw, they finally let Jackson join the boy band!

I don't understand why the Duggar ladies couldn't have attended the 'regular' baby shower for Amy? Why did they need their very own one? I don't think drinking and such would have been at Amy's baby shower. It usually is not included in such an event. I think it elitist of them to have a separate one for her. They're telling Amy that she really isn't 'good enough' for them. That family really stinks.

[GeeGolly]

Jyler didn't make the boy band cut?

Probably need to change their nickname now. Balding Boy Band still works, I guess, but they don't seem to be Howling these days. This rendition suggests The Dreary Droners as a possibility.

Jackson looks like he came right out of a 1950s gameshow.

Maybe Amy's friends didn't want them to come! 

I wouldn't want to have to invite Meeechelle to a party.... 😀

Good thing the Duggs weren't there to stick their grubby paws into it.

Hey, they only just added Jackson. Give him some time.

I'm interested in the inclusion of Joseph but not Josiah. Is Josiah only allowed to sing with Lauren?
