Joy and Austin: This One Time At Family Camp

[Nysha]

Johannah is 12 and Jennifer is 10. Surely they're old enough to become Sister-Aunt-Moms. I don't see Jim Bob & Michelle allowing Jana to leave to the compound to help with the grandbabies for longer than a day or two. Those boys aren't going to clean up after themselves and I'm sure just keeping Josie from licking the light sockets and electrical outlets is enough to keep Johannah, Jennifer, and Jordyn busy when Jana's gone.

[Lunera]

Their first Valentine's day and already 9 months pregnant. 

[ShaNaeNae]

I like how they've got to show off their belly in each picture.  They rarely just pose and let the belly stick where it may.  They've always got to rest their hand under it or on top to make sure everyone knows there's a baby in there.

It makes me sad looking at her.  We just saw her a pre-teen a few years ago and now she's a child bride knocked up.

Each of these couples began exploring each other's bodies on the wedding night and within a year the wives gave birth. It must have been like having sex with a new partner every few months for the guys. Not one of them would be able to pick their wives' body out of a line-up in its normal state. 

[floridamom]

Is it me? Or is Joy huge? Gosh, she never 'showed' like that before. (Love Austin's filthy boots.)

She actually said she loves him - as opposed to most of her married sisters posts.  She looks nice, but I hope if Austin took her out, he did NOT go in paint splattered boots and a flannel shirt, untucked at that.

Geez, someone buy the girl a better bra!

I don't think I've ever seen a picture of Joy wearing a properly fitted bra. I always assumed she got the J'slaves hand-me-down bras which were too small and probably stretched out.

Assuming they pay much attention to the woman's body in the first place. These people believe the clitoris doesn't exist.

[BetyBee]

I actually do like Austin's shoes, if only because they show that Joy got a man who actually works!

She's probably never had a good fitting bra and has no idea why she should spend good money on one.

Yes.  I don't see Mr. Buy-used-save-the-difference would ever allow the money to be spent on properly fitted bras for all the women in the family.  Also, where would they go in Arkansas to get fitted correctly?  I'm in NC and don't know where to go to actually get fitted correctly.

My brother, as a single dad, took his daughters an hour away to the nearest Victoria's Secret and had the girls fitted properly and told him their sizes so he could buy them bras when he went shopping.  The girls were also vocal enough and comfortable enough with their dad to tell him when the bras began to get tight or be uncomfortable.  Now we KNOW that Boob would NEVER allow the girls into a Victoria's Secret, nor would he probably allow them to find a youtube or other website that describes how to probably fit a bra, so I'm pretty sure they are all out of luck.

[Absolom]

Never trust Victoria's Secret for bra fitting.  They are notorious for sticking people in the wrong sizes especially if they don't carry your size.  Somewhere like Nordstrom has really trained fitters who won't put you in the wrong size. 

There is bound to be a decent lingerie shop in Little Rock. 

[Sew Sumi]

Heck, there's probably one in Fayetteville. 

[Absolom]

Fayetteville seems to have more naughty lingerie shops than my city in Cali!!  I was thinking more Wizard of Bras than Seductions.

Yeah, that! 

The Duggars travel often enough that finding a good bra fitter shouldn't be difficult. Prying Jim Bob's fingers off some ill-earned money is a different story. 

[Pingaponga]

In that Valentine's Day photo, it looks like the baby has dropped.  I think she'll be having it very soon.

Yeah, you need to go to a good bra fitter.  It makes a world of difference.  I too recommend Nordies.  I worked at VS for about 2 weeks.  It drove me nuts.  The staff was barely 20, never wanted to help customers, and I wouldn't have trusted them to properly fit the 'ladies'.  They were too concerned with talking into their headsets at each other.

Where are they, in a fallout shelter?

No, they're outside in a parking lot. There's a tree, and a yellow marking on the ground like on a road.  They're standing next to a giant heating/ac unit. It's a strange spot for a picture.

We live near ECU and I always wondered if the pirate part of your name was related. Because what other pirate is there than an ECU pirate?! Arrrrgggghhhhh!

I hope so. Joy has got to be miserable at this point and it looks like another big baby. I really hope she has plans to go to the hospital. 

I was hoping for it to be a Valentine's baby.  That way Jilly and J'chelle would have plans and at least J'chelle would be out of town and they would hopefully just go straight to the hospital instead of having opinions from the rest of the peanut gallery.

In one of their older travelling episodes - maybe NYC for a Dateline appearance - I remember one of the Howlers practically falling on his face as he was hauling a lost girl on his back.  For some reason I remember it was when he stepped off the up escalator, but I may be making that part up.

Hannie looks like a pouty little Jessa.

I really hate it when people say "so and so and myself did something."  ARGH

OK,  first place my mind went:

"Victoria's Secret, well that stuff's real nice,

but I can get the same damn thing on a WalMart shelf half-price,

And still look sexy, so sexy,

I don't need no designer label to make my man want me!"

I actually feel bad for Joy that she got no book-learnin' besides Bible time. She's a product of the environment she was raised in. A mother who checked out. Sister-moms who were educating the little ones with a sub-par education of their own. And parents too busy chasing TLC fame in order to pause and educate their kids.

At JCPenney's whoever is in the Women's department goes through training to properly size a bra. I'm out of sizes carried in most stores so I go to Lane Bryant for bra fittings. 

FWIW, Victoria Secrets is really guilty about vanity sizing.

So, if I'm a 38D in a Wacoal bra, what size do you think I'd wear at VS?  I need a reason to go there.  It's been in the local mall for a couple of years, and I've yet to visit.  

I'll be honest here; I didn't know when you said vanity sizing, what that means?  I get it that I can fit into an 8 in an expensive store instead of a 12 at Costco.  But, I don't know which way it would go in bra size?  I'm old, and I don't know if big boobs are fashionable these days!

It would mean either a cup size larger or a band size smaller.  Probably both to balance out each other.

Vanity sizes means they make you think your breasts are bigger than they are. I was fitted there once as a 38D, I was actually a 36B.

Thank you for the info, both of you.  This forum is fun, not only for the snark, but from the new info I learn :)

Stick with your Wacoal. Much better quality. 

[GeeGolly]

I'm guessing a 9lb 9oz, 22" baby boy named Melbourne Ryobi, 3/3/18.

That is good to know!  I can't remember where I first heard about Wacoal, but my local Macy's usually has good sales, and if I look through my size, I can usually find a Wacoal on sale.

Any news on the Joylet yet?

I hope Joy Anna enjoyed her pregnancy....it is a condition she will be in every year for the next quarter of a century.

Craftsman Judea's a much prettier name.

I'm going to guess 9lb 13 oz, 22" boy on 2/25/18 (on a Sunday of course) and due to lack of imagination on Joy's part, Austin Jr. 

[kstar821]

I usually just lurk, but I want in on the baby guessing!

I'm going with girl - a classic biblical name like Sarah or Rebecca, born on 2/22/18 weighing around 8lbs 8oz.

[SuspiciousMind]

Okay -- my guess is tomorrow, a girl, first name beginning with an A, middle name will be an already-in-use name from the Duggar side, and the baby will weigh 9 pounds right on the nose.

[Temperance]

If it's a girl, her middle name will be Michelle after Michelle and Jill Michelle. 

Maybe both grandmas. Austin's mother's name for the first name and Michelle for the middle.
