BitterApple March 2, 2018 Share March 2, 2018 Gideon is really cute, but it's a bummer he inherited Austin's nose instead of Joy's. Maybe they're just tired and overwhelmed, but I can't get over how they're married with a baby yet still act like they're on an awkward first date. 12 Link to comment

Of course, there are all sorts of variables--first vaginal birth worse than subsequent; c-s earlier in early labor results in much easier recovery versus after hours of pushing; etc. I was offered strong pain meds with both---one c/s, one vaginal but the difference was length. I never took any after my vaginal birth, but I did after my c/s. I had a 6 weeks supply versus a 3 day supply. I birthed a 10 lbers, 5 stitches. 4 Link to comment

How insulting to Austin and Joy. Hey Amy... get yourself pregnant and try for that girl?! You know it occurred to me - Amy gets a bad rap from us and it's well deserved but............we need her and her free unfiltered ways even when she has foot in mouth comments like needing girl baby. She's the unofficial unwitting Duggar snitch. Her mindless posting of pictures like the one with Joy in the hospital is pretty often the way we find out things the family is trying to keep secret or trying to release only on their own time with their own spin. I sort of hope Amy never changes, whether her posts are oblivious (my vote's on that) or a very, very clever way of attention seeking they serve us pretty well. It certainly blew the lid off Gideon's birth announcement. 27 Link to comment

Normades March 2, 2018 Share March 2, 2018 Can't one of the Duggars follow an obstetrician around for about 15 minutes so that they could perform the next c-section or complicated birth? Maybe @doodlebug would volunteer. We all know that's all it takes to be able to do any professional job, if you're a Duggar, although since were talking about actual healthcare, they could follow for about 25 minutes just to be safe. I guess it would have to be one of the girls, since all the lady parts would be Nike. So sad that these kids might actually have hopes and dreams of being doctors, lawyers, nurses, etc., but their stupid parents have prevented them. 16 Link to comment
bigskygirl March 2, 2018 Share March 2, 2018 The older kids could go out and become what they want to be, but they are too lazy to do the work, plus the lack of good, quality education would be a setback. They have been brainwashed into believing the Duggar way is the only education they need, so why go out in the real world to get a decent education. Btw, I got an email from twitter saying Joy Anna got her own instragram account. I keep getting messages from twitter about the Duggars. I really could care less about her new account.

Chrissy Teigen has been very vocal in their decision to have a male embryo implanted for this pregnancy since they had a girl first, which was chosen using the same process.

For some reason the video says unavailable when I click it so I can't speak for Giddy's alertness...I have thought it's awfully convenient they had such a huge baby, what was it exactly one day (???) after the window of them being married at conception. He's definitely too little/young either way to fit the changed the wedding date narrative but I think they cut it pretty close. (Spoken as the child of someone born exactly 9 months and one week after their parents' wedding, and parent with only one child out of a lot conceived and born within a marriage so no judgement either way) Link to comment
Popular Post Lady Edith March 3, 2018 Popular Post Share March 3, 2018 Well, Giddy is certainly alert for a baby that young. He was eyes wide open and is looking around. He even reached out to touch Joy’s face twice when she leaned over to kiss him. It’s possible that he IS that alert. I know my 10 lb 4 oz oldest reached up and removed her little hat from her head several times...at only hours old. The nurse yelled at my husband for taking her hat off. He told her that the baby took it off and she didn’t believe him. The nurse put it back on her little head and her little hand went immediately up and pulled that hat right off her head. I honestly don’t care one way or another if Gideon was an unintended guest at the wedding. And I don’t think that the issue is that there may have been a courtship rule breaker between them. Who really cares if they did the car seat mambo before the wedding? The real issue is that they will hide behind their stupid courtship rules and deny, deny, deny. Because it’s not the truth of the matter that will set them free, it’s denial. And image. Because that’s what matters in the end. As long as they look to the outside world that they are adhering to the facade of purity, and can sell their off-kilter Christianity, that’s all that matters. 26 Link to comment

She doesn't have any basis for an accurate judgment, either from her external or internal experience, I think. Possibly she never will. It's a disaster. And then she'll homeschool kids. Yikes. I couldn't watch confident stupid people on television, though.
