Joe & Kendra: Looking Forward To Side Hugs

[ranchgirl]

What?  No gender reveal inside of Addison's 1st birthday cake? 

[MichaelaRae]

Yeah, they've usually revealed online their upcoming child's genitalia by now.  Wonder what's up?

Probably being saved for the show. Provided it airs before the baby is crowning. 😁

because I am apparently more careful and formal with my dog than these people are with their children.

I often think about this in regard to the fundies I know, but it's true of this crowd too. My Chihuahua gets better healthcare, food, and bedtime rituals (he's got 2 bedtime rituals because he's special 😛 ) than these people give their kids. And probably more one-on-one attention too.

To be fair to the fundies, you don't have 13 chihuahuas. 😁 But if you did, they'd still get more attention than the Rod pod.

This is true! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

My Chi would rise up against me in revolt if I even thought about getting another dog. He likes being an only child. 😁

TLC is so behind though last season they showed Kendra give birth to Addison and that was only a few months ago. I feel like it would be better if they did a yearly show like the original show.

They also aired some of that footage closer to when Addison was born. They re-aired the footage, because not much else was happening.

After that terrible forrest fire in California due to a gender reveal, maybe those things will finally go back out of fashion.

And the death of a grandmother from a different one.

Joe and Kendra are so dull there is nothing but having a baby every year. That’s it. 

[ouinason]

Well they have a boy and a girl so the rest are just whatever.

[sleepysuzy]

Regarding shoes and pregnancy: I had horrible foot cramps from shoes when I was pregnant. Being barefoot or wearing my croc sandals (like flip-flops, but with no thing between the toes) were the only comfortable options. My neonatal provider explained that the hormones that help relax the ligaments in the pelvis for delivery can also affect other joints, such as the feet. It also got worse with each succesive pregnancy.

I have heard that your feet can "grow" 1/2 a shoes size with each pregnancy because of this. I had one lady tell me when she married she wore a size 5. I was putting a size 9 shoe on her feet.

It's funny that the title for Jill and Derick refers to them as the Dullards when by far they are the least dull couple out of all the adult Duggars. 

[iwantcookies]

Michelle should be a size 20 in shoes by now lol

Her body must be so worn down I’m surprised she can function at all

It is true! My feet grew about a half- to a whole size. They usually don't go back, either! I was VERY lucky given my shoe collection that mine reverted.

They ALL are.

[floridamom]

Yes, my feet grew one half size after my first son was born. I was always a 7.5...then I wore an 8 and still do.

[GeeGolly]

Toward the end of one of my pregnancies my feet would swell if I sat for too long, so I really felt the discomfort of walking in tight shoes. By the time I was done having babies I went from a 5.5 to a 6. Because I can still wear a 5.5 in some sandals, I often wonder if my comfort zone changed more than my actual foot size.

[Jynnan tonnix]

I used to wear a size 8 1/2, and after three kids generally wear a 9 1/2 or, occasionally, 10. My mother-in-law, on the other hand, wore 4 1/2 shoes even after having seven children. Goodness knows what her feet must have been like before. 

[iwantcookies]

I’m jealous of all of you who have tiny feet. 5.5 ??? Those are some cute tiny feet!

[Snow Fairy]

My feet are tiny. 5

Was hoping to grow a number with pregnancies, did not happen. Shoe shopping is something I hate

Ontopic, when are Kendra and her mom's due dates?

Kendra is due in February, and I believe Christina is due in May.

I can't get over how surreal that statement is....

The entire situation has me doing mental gymnastics...

Does Kendra's mom "have a heart for children? Does her heart sink each time she becomes pregnant? Does she feel bad for Kendra for having three kids in three years? Is she happy for Kendra for having three kids in three years? Is she pleased and proud that she and her daughter are building God's army together? Is Kendra's mom tired of having babies and children? Does she secretly want to save her daughter from the same woes?

Obviously I spend way too much time thinking about these families, but they're such anomalies they leave me scratching my head.

[ozziemom]

IIRC Kendras mom has difficult pregnancies so while she talks the talk about being blessed, I imagine she has some anxiety.

I would say yes to these

Even moreso when you consider it's not the first time they've been expecting simultaneously.

Maybe in 2022 Lauren will be expecting too! Do we know when her wedding is? Hopefully it is later in 2021 after the latest babies are born.

Maybe they are waiting until her mom can do hers too.

Yep. I’m a dainty size 11. 😁
 

ETA: I shudder to think what size they’d be if I’d ever been pregnant. 11s are difficult to find and my feet are narrow which limits my choices further. My shoes look like canoes.

I have never had a kid and at this point I doubt I ever will, and I shudder to think how my 10w feet would have handled pregnancy.  For that matter my whole body.  I would have spent my last few weeks looking like a beached whale.

Fellow size 11 here.  I remember being a size 7 in the fifth grade.  Mr. Xword has big feet too.  He calls them gunboats.  I buy conservative shoes so as not to draw attention to them.

I wear men’s 10.5/11 in sneakers/boots

Womens I wear only slip ons size 12 or 13.  I bought out a Payless when they closed. So hard to find womens shoes beyond size 10.

I cannot fit in women’s boots period 

Sigh 😔

Why does all of their clothing have no color?  It's like they put it all in the washing machine in hot water and all the pigment washed away.

[iwantcookies]

They are so beige like Jill’s cooking.

I quickly glanced at this thread name and I totally read "Joe and Kamala." LOL!

Garrett is all Duggar.

Addison is starting to look like Dithy's mini-me.

I have read many comments about Garret being all Duggar. I see Pa Caldwell as a toe head and very, very, very, light skin. What’s wrong with me?

[Gemma Violet]

I guess I'm really behind in the Joe/Kendra thread.  I had no idea they were expecting baby #3. 😲

I think Garrett takes after Kendra's side too. 

[xwordfanatik]

With as many kids as this pair is likely to have, they're likely to have doppelgängers for every relative they can think of, and some throwback lookalikes as well.  Poor Kendra, having to push out endless babies until her what?  Late 40's?

Most women don't have children after 45. Her mother is 41.

I'm not sure if you're joking, but Kendra is due in February with #3 and her mother is expecting #9 in May.
