Even the blue box of Kraft dinner says to cook the macaroni uncovered.   Sometimes just a solo pot is all that's necessary.

Here's the baby in question.

That's lots of kids in the Caldwell family

Whenever I see pictures of the Caldwell clan, I’m not sure if I feel sorry for Lauren for being single & stuck raising her siblings or happy that she’s so far avoided marriage and 4 kids under the age of 5 like Kendra.

[ScorpioSoul]

I am confused. So does the picture above prove they had baby #4? The baby Kendra is holding?  I have no idea who all the kids are in the photo.

Kendra and Joe with Kendra's family... presumably Kendra would be holding her own baby. (I believe the two smallest girl's in front, plus the boy in the white shirt/ black pants are their other three kids; the rest are Kendra's siblings).

Joe and Kendra's family are also featured in Jinger's latest vlog; they go to Chick-fil-a together and the baby is there, too (wearing navy blue, which in Duggarland means it must be a boy). So yes, seems pretty conclusive proof of #4,

My guess is Garret is in white shirt, no tie, Addison and Brooklyn are the two girls with red bows and newbie boy, number 4, is being held by Kendra.

[ScorpioSoul]

Ok, I thought so. I mean I get why they kept it quiet with everything that was going on, but do they seriously expect to keep a child a secret indefinitely?

Considering he's appeared in Caldwell family pictures before, and they didn't seem to have an issue with Jinger filming them...no? Honestly I think Joken don't seem to care one way or the other. Good for them keeping their family life fairly private.

My name nerd side would like to know the kid's name, but my oh-dear-god-the-Duggars-are-famewhores-who-mess-up-their-children side is like, good for them. Not that they won't be messed up in a thousand other ways by their fundy upbringing, of course, but at least they get a modicum of privacy.

Obviously not. They just haven’t posted publicly since 2021.

Why not? They have a right to a private life. 

[beckie]

They never posted that much even when the show was going. 

[sagittarius sue]

So I guess this means that Kendra's mom has had three children since Kendra's wedding?  I hope that baby train has ended it's run.

Just two, I think? The littlest boy with the bowtie, and the little girl being held by Kendra's sister Lauren.

Did Kendra's mom have an infant at the time they were married?  I was wondering about the tallest young boy with the bowtie.

There are big gaps between some of the Caldwell kids. Almost four years from 2 to 3 -- so much time wasted to fill their quiver! I bet the Caldwells regret it.

I think Christina had some miscarriages. After being in a car accident and delivering Kendra a month early, she was considered high risk. Odd to say since she still managed to have so many kids. 

[Madtown]

How old is Kendra now? She is well on her way to possibly beating Michelle in number of kids, if she chooses to have one every year or so. She'll for sure pass Anna, now that her baby factory had to close earlier than she probably wanted.

In the list above, it says she was born in August, 1998.

Is Mrs Caldwell intentionally hiding her mid-section?

I suppose, after having had so many children, her midsection may not be quite something she wants to show off. It might just be force of habit to hide it at this point.

Haha! There are limits on what you can do outside of tummy tucks. Besides, given the number of kids in the more recent years, it doesn't seem as though he has gotten turned off. 

I'm almost (almost) tempted to give him an extra point or two for continuing to make her feel desirable. I always remember (at least, I think I remember) the fact that they married in January and had their first, nicely full-term baby in August, on almost exactly the same schedule as I followed some years earlier, makes me think that there must have been some pretty potent attraction there.

Isn't he the one that (and I hate that I remember this and am typing it) that as a way of showing his control brings her almost to climax and then stops?  And that is not isolated to him?And since we are a snark board and do speculate maybe her "being available" is more about him. Please hope I forget all this!!!!!

I was more wondering if Mrs Caldwell was hiding a baby bump.

🙄 What is with these names?  Did they just get lazy.

[Nysha]

Jesiah, Isaiah, and Moriah are biblical names, a lot of which end in "iah", like Jeremiah, Jedidiah, and Josiah. 

Not that the Caldwell parents aren't also too lazy to think up unique names for their quiverful of ego boosters.

Yikes! How would one know that? Was it reported somewhere, and if so, who besides the two of them know if it’s true?

[lookeyloo]

I know I read it somewhere related to I think them but not uncommon in their belief system. I know I am not clever enough, smart enough or demented enough to conjure  that up!  Maybe a Reddit quote?

How would anyone know this? I don't see them talking about their sex life in public at lest not this specific.  There is a very good chance I am wrong bit it seems very odd.

Sorry YupItsMe I did not see your post.

Whether it's accurate or not, I need brain bleach now.  I really don't want to know this much about anyone's sex life.

I am not sure that it is common to the fundy belief system. I went to a fundy church and none of the women would have tolerated that. The teaching was that yes a woman submits her husband but a man also should put his needs aside and submit to his wife ( this is in the bedroom) so if she wants sex and he has a headache well so sad to bad baby we are doing it tonight. To me it sounds like something someone ( not you lookeyloo) made up. Anyway I thought the consensus was that none of the Duggar men knew enough to satisfy their wives. I will be honest I have no idea why this bothers me so much so I apologize if am  defending them to much.

[Zella]

I deeply resent the fact that my brain retains this information, but per some summaries from people who've read the sex manual that the Duggars apparently get for their wedding night, there is much more emphasis on the woman's pleasure than you'd expect.

No worries. I really feel like I read it somewhere in relation to the Duggars. I even thought it was discussed on one of the threads long ago.  But I do have senior moments so there's that. 

[Absolom]

I know it's hard to believe, :), but some people come here and on Reddit, etc., and lie just to see what they can get started.  You may well have read it and it could equally be a fabrication.

I unfortunately remember that, too. I think it was on another forum when discussing Smuggar's wedding night, and somebody had quotes from the Ed Wheat book. It was surprisingly woman-centered for anybody, let alone misogynist, patriarchal fundies. 

Please pass the brain bleach, and let us never ever mention any fundie's sex life again. I prefer to think they don't have one, and they just find their kids out in the strawberry patch, like my parents found me.

Very true  I will attempt to delete from my memory too.

Kendra's grandmother Caldwell passed away in June. Per her obit, she has 4 great grandchildren. Three were accounted for. The fourth is Kendra's mystery boy. His name is Justus.

So the first grand-Duggar (as far as we know) with a J-name.

Most important thing to remember about any fundie's kid's name: It could almost always be worse. Here's looking at you, Spurgeon, Heistheway, Nehemiah, Newman, Gideon x2, Jinger, and others. 

There's some debate on Reddit about whether the Tyjeer in the obit is a Caldwell kid or a cousin. And about how to pronounce that monstrosity of a name. 

[Salacious Kitty]

I think all the Caldwell kids are already accounted for. I believe Moriah is their youngest.

Named after relatives named Tyler and Jeremy? What ever the reason the name is rather unfortunate.
