Who wants to bet Kendra will announce baby no. 4 when Jessa has her baby? Brooklyn will be five months by then.  If not, definitely by her first birthday. 

Definitely by Xmas there will be a pregnancy announcement

That would definitely be really soon for Joe and Kendra. Brooklyn will be five months in July. Kendra usually announces at least 2 months. If she announces in July, that be a faster turnaround then ever before. She would be due in February at the latest and Brooklyn and the new baby would be almost exactly one year apart. So far none of Kendra's kids are that close together. Brooklyn is 15.5 months younger than Addison and Brooklyn was born over 1 week early.

tl:dr It's unlikely Kendra would announce in July. Christmas is more likely.

Kendra and family... We were talking about old man-looking babies in regards to the Waller kids, but I think Brooklyn Praise may also qualify.

Brooklyn is a really weird looking baby. 

Christina is still pregnant?! Good grief, is she gestating an elephant?

Brooklyn is still so tiny, and while I agree that the photos I've seen of her so far seem to show a bit of a beaky, shrill-looking (yeah, that's a horrible adjective, and hardly descriptive of a newborn, but I can't seem to find one that gives the same sense of what I see in her) baby, I am pretty confident that she will fill in to be a pretty child. Their other babies always seem to have an almost ethereal prettiness to them, and I quite expect that Brooklyn will eventually follow suit.

Christina is due in May and she announced early.  As for Brooklyn, she's only 2 months. A lot of babies look better around the 6th month mark.

As fundy families go, this is really a good looking group.  Everyone has such a nice smile.

[GeeGolly]

I sometimes wonder what goes on in the head of a Fundy mom while she sees her young daughter start on the path for breeding for Jesus. They have first hand knowledge of how hard it can be.

Does Christina have any moments of regret seeing Kendra going from a carefree kid to an adult with 3 kids so quickly? Does she worry about the tough moments Kendra is dealing with, with 3 kids, 3 and under? Does she secretly wish her daughter could have had an alternative path to choose from?

Most parents want better for their children than they have had. Like, how deep do their beliefs go? Is this what Christina has always hoped Kendra's life would be like?

I've always wondered this myself. I wonder if there's a little part of them, deep down inside, that doesn't really want to go along with their fundy beliefs. You know those little feelings we get when we're doing something that we know we shouldn't be doing what we're doing? I wonder if they get those. So feelings are natural, there's no stopping them. So what do they do, pray them away? Repent for having a 'sinning thought/feeling'?

Barefoot in the woods? How are their feet not injured/bleeding???

It looks like they're at a campsite or picnic area. Maybe the two who are barefoot were playing in a creek nearby.

[Zella]

I love to walk around barefoot, and though I wouldn't run around in the woods barefoot (great way to get snakebit), I have never had my feet bleed from being outside without shoes on. Even walking over gravel. It hurts, and it's stupid to do it, but it doesn't make your feet bleed. 

I think something people who don't walk around barefoot may not realize is if you walk around barefoot all the time, your feet develop callouses to protect you, so it's not going to feel the same to someone who is used to it versus someone who never does it. 

I would suspect the people without shoes in that picture aren't participating in their first barefoot rodeo is my point. 😂

Same here. We spent our summers basically barefoot. When we were on our own, we'd try and sneak into stores to buy some candy before anyone noticed our feet. My mom had a bunch of random flip-flops in the back of the station wagon so she wouldn't be stuck with shoeless kids, when we were out and about, lol.

Like you said, the Caldwell kids are likely barefoot often. And it doesn't look like they're hiking during that picture.

for all the talk of the Caldwells and Duggars having a falling out - two of the pics from whatever Caldwell boy's birthday has Lauren Caldwell in the J and J Services t shirt.  A Duggar Llc.

Kendra made the mistake of posting some pictures today. She spent the rest of the day scrubbing her page of Smuggar comments.

It’s not fair, but the internet doesn’t work that way. All Duggars should lay low for a while, for their own sake.

No, it's not fair and I would never post nasty stuff on her (or any of the Duggar-in-law's) social media because of this. But, I do sort of feel in my heart of hearts that if I were a woman intending to have lots of children in a family that's as entangled as the Duggars, I would have thought twice about the existence of Sex Pest. 

Of course, I also would have thought twice about getting on the three kids in three years baby train with a guy who doesn't have an income outside of Daddy's largesse, so there's that.

If Joe is acting as their real estate agent, then it doesn't matter if they're friends. It matters if he's actually showing the house, etc.

agree - and if he actually gets a commission in the end. My point was more this guy is a friend who maybe just gave Joe the listing and he didn't have to work for the listing. and seriously he had 0 listings until 2 days ago

I agree. In fact a lot of realtors get early business this way - a friend or a friend of a friend etc. So if he does what an agent does, gets the house sold, and earns a commission then kudos to him. 
I don’t know what the market is like there but in my area houses are selling quickly. So hopefully it goes well for them. 

[crazy8s]

I do hope Joe gets out there and makes a name for himself and steady income for his family. But he is listed as principal broker with Jed, Jeer and JB as associates, for an office with an address in front of the TTH that has had 0 listings ever until the day josh is getting out of jail.

Ugh. And frankly even if the house sells that means JB is getting the money, not Joe.

What a coinky dink it works out that way yet again.   What are the odds?

[Normades]

I keep wondering if the fallout over the house between JB and the Caldwells had anything to do with Josh's arrest and him potentially trying to throw Joe under the bus.

The alleged fallout happened way before Volderjosh’s arrest.

I guess I should have said the investigation because weren't some of the family interviewed before Josh was arrested?  I may have that wrong, tho.

The raid happened in November 2019 and the alleged fallout happened in spring 2020, so timingwise that did happen prior.

It's all must unverified rumors, so not even sure there was actually a fallout. I go back and forth on it. One source claimed it happened in the church nursery, but that source is also without a crystal ball, who did break the Jed!ding story but also has been full of shit on other things.

IIRC, a Duggar adjacent on another forum claimed it was over COVID and Pa Caldwell’s refusal to close the church. I find that hard to believe because the Duggars (except for Jill and family, and they are not sticklers) don’t give a fig about COVID safety guidelines.

If it involves JB it’s probably rooted in money. But we really don’t know why some of the Duggars go to another church but a few did stay with Pa Caldwell. And the Caldwell clan was at both Justin and Jed! weddings.

I hadn't heard that rumor, but yeah, I agree with you that they don't seem to have been concerned about it, so it's doubtful that they had a falling-out over that.

But if the church doesn’t close, how can they claim to be persecuted for their beliefs?  🙄
