Joe & Kendra: Looking Forward To Side Hugs

[Nysha]

I think Joe was one of the last of the Duggars to get a semi-decent homeschool education. It seems to have gone downhill starting with Jackson's birth, so Joy on down probably got what the older girls taught them.

She’s cute. Is see Kendra clearly. 

[BitterApple]

She has beautiful eyes. 

[xwordfanatik]

I hope Kendra's not already pregnant again.  I can see her going double digit kids.  Wasn't her mother pregnant when Kendra was?  I can't even imagine what that would be like.

[BitterApple]

I think Kendra will easily hit double digits. She's already two kids deep at 21, and her mother is still fertile in her late 30s/early 40s. Unless there's a medical complication that puts the kibosh on procreation, there's nothing stopping her

Kendra seems to be not as reckless as the duggar females. 

I think she has had prenatal care and babies born in a hospital

maybe Pa caldwell has enough sway with JB to say that his daughter will not do a birthing on TV as a volunteer.

but then the Caldwells withheld/prayed away health care for their youngest - so who knows

Well yes but anything can happen with each pregnancy, even for those that are prudent in seeking medical care. I think @BitterApple was trying to say that barring any physical reason Kendra is not able to carry a pregnancy to term (or Joe passes away young heaven forbid) they are going to hit double digits. 
 

I think at least 12 if not 15, given she’s only 21 with TWO KIDS. She’s got another twenty years of spontaneous pregnancies ahead of her, 10 more kids in 20 years isn’t far fetched at all.

meant no offense to what @BitterApple said - just that Kendra's chances are higher for more children and survival since she seems to get prenatal and opts for hospital births.

unlike Jessa particularly who seems to tempt/taunt with each pregnancy

From what Kendra has said, her mom's pregnancies cause her even more pain than average due to a car accident, and the Caldwell's continue to have baby after baby. I'm guessing if they interfere at all with Kendra, it would be to encourage the building of God's army.

Yup. More is more. 

[galaxychaser]

At least these kids escaped the Duggar looks 🤣. 
Yep these 2 will definitely have at least 10 kids.

Isn't Joe also one of the biggest kool aid drinkers of the Duggar 19?

And I think Joe's conscientious and probably a pretty hard worker, as Duggars go. If he knew he had to study hard for a test, I expect he'd do it. 

[Temperance]

Yes Joe is definitely one of the most Koolaid drunk of the Duggars. and they could easily have at least a dozen kids. 

Hospital births don't prevent hemorrhaging. A friend of mine had her babies in the hospital and still hemorrhaged. (This same friend had good prenatal care.) It helps to be able to treat the hemorrhage not have to wait for an ambulance. Jessa would probably still have the same problem, but the drive between the hospital and the house is a very high-risk situation. 

Back to Joe and Kendra. There are many reasons they might have the most kids. They both seem very koolaid drunk and really enjoy being fundies.  Kendra is young and has no complications that we know of. But the biggest reason might be the spacing. Joy and Austin, Jill and Derick, Jinger and Jeremy, all had a bigger space between one and two and that does seem intentional. All three of those couples waited until their first child was at least a year old to have another baby (even including losses). Of course both Josh and Anna and Ben and Jessa had two kids closer in age and the next kids farther apart. 

I think it's still a little soon for Joe and Kendra's third child. That would make this baby even closer in age than their first two.  Of course anything is possible.

Joe and Kendra also strike me as the Duggar couple most compatible.  I think they both enjoy being intimate, and even if they might want to wait a few more months before getting pregnant again, they can't stop themselves.  I don't think they are actively trying to get pregnant.  I think they are one of the few Duggar couples who are having sex to have sex and not to make a baby.

So did the football nail the poor kid in the face 2 seconds after the picture was taken?

And just a totally petty pet peeve of mine, but getting down on the child’s level to take the picture, rather than taking it overhead, makes for a much better photo.

[Temperance]

Garrett and Joe have the same hair. 

[GeeGolly]

It seems unlikely that Garret didn't have a party because both the Caldwells and Duggars were not social distancing. 

I'm sure Kendra read the feedback on her parents IG when they were on their traveling vacation during the first weeks of corona.

Duggarfam posted more pics of the littleduggarfamily at the TTH. Meech was in her trademark apron.

[CouchTater]

Random question I've been meaning to ask for awhile:  for the duggarfam IG, when the writer says "I" and "me," who is the I/me? Other times it's "we," so I just need some clarity!!!  🤪

I'm pretty sure that Meech is in charge of duggarfam. I guess "we" would include her odious husband.

Kendra always looks so put together and very nice (and clean).  She doesn't look like she belongs to this family.  She also always looks content and happy.  Good for her.

Jim is hiding his gut behind Michelle. Maybe Garrett thinks there is candy in the apron pockets?

[Temperance]

Like Derick and Jill, Joe and Kendra take a lot of photos with only one kid in them. 

(By one kid, I mean one of their kids. Example: No Addison in the photo above.)

JB needs to stand behind Michelle so he can do his trademark fingers holding her arm pose.

[galaxychaser]

Maybe Addison was napping.

Garrett is adorable all Kendra. Yep they actually look clean and well taken care of.

[lookeyloo]

Those two little boys look like twins.

What a difference between Mechelle's hair & Kendra's mom's hair. (I'm not talking about just the color either. 💇‍♀️💆‍♀️)

I think Mechelle's apron is OK. Mainly because I like anything navy & white esp stripes if you can wear them.  I can't stand Mechelle's lime green apron. The one with white polka dots (I think) and frilly edging on it.

What cracks me up is she insists on wearing an apron in the first place.  She rarely cooks anything or anything messy so as the need to protect her older frumpy second hand thrift store clothing. It's for show & photo ops.

I agree.  Her maternity wear is/was nice as well. She definitely could give some advice to her sisters-in-law. 

BTW, where is JoKen & kids living now?  They did move out of the log cabin, correct?  It's getting hard for me to keep up with them.

in my property searches i have found no record of them moving off the TTH property. they did file a personal property return saying the owned a vehicle, a boat and a boat trailer. if i remember correctly

to add - i think they are still registered to vote from the TTH address as well

JB looks like he's doing a tacky gun signal with his hand on Michelle's arm.  It's ok, Jim Bob, you don't have to hold her hostage.  She's too dumb to leave, and no one wants to deal with that level of crazy.

Ma Caldwell looks to be in the family way again.  Michelle needs to just ditch the apron.  She's not fooling anyone that she's cooking or baking, and it makes her look 4 feet tall.  Guess that's what happens when you churn out 19 kids, and along with your virginity, you also gave Jim Bob your backbone.

(I'll now be taking my sassy ass to the prayer closet.  And hell).

People have been speculating that since Kendra was pregnant with Addison. I don't think she actually is.

[galaxychaser]

Did they have another baby after Isaiah?

[dargosmydaddy]

No.

[Marshmallow Mollie]

I wear an apron a lot and generally forget to take it off until long after I needed it, but I suspect Michelle wears it to obscure her chest and stomach. The Bates wear vests, Michelle wears an apron.

Yeah I think she just has a post pregnancy pouch and because she’s thin everywhere else it looks as if she’s pregnant. Isaiah might be their last, there are pretty decent gaps between all of the Caldwell kids besides the first two. 

[Temperance]

I was looking at Kendra's family social media. Her sister Lauren turned 20. She's living at home and seems to be her family's Jana.  On the other Kendra was married a month after her 19th birthday and had a two-month-old baby (Garrett) on her 20th birthday. 

They have a lot of pictures of her youngest brother, and he seems to be fine. Nothing about his health.

When looking through the back photos, I saw the marriage retreat again, where the couples played a game by having the husbands throw peanuts in their wives' mouthes. It's still amusing to me. 

[Whyyouneedaname]

haven't been keeping up with the Duggar's lately, when did J & K move? & I wonder why?

[Sew Sumi]

I think this is the same place. 

[Temperance]

I think in the photo they're in the TTH. 

[65mickey]

How old is kendra's mother? She looks like she is in her 20's. But she mustbe at least in her late 30's. 

[Sew Sumi]

I think Kendra's mother had Kendra at 19, so that makes her 41.

[sixlets]

Fundie Wiki puts her birth year as 1980, but the 19K&C Wiki has her birthday as 7/3/79.  Duggar Data has 1979 as well.  They were married January 1998 and had Kendra 8/11/98.  Tsk, tsk.

[Sew Sumi]

Yeah, Kendra was a bit premature, eh? 😂

Fundie wiki is right. Christina will turn 41 in a couple of weeks.
