Josiah and Lauren: He Has To Marry Somebody


Recommended Posts

Neither one of them looks truly happy. Both of them have HUGE bags under their eyes as if they aren't getting any rest at all. I bet that Josiah forces himself to be intimate with her and as oblivious as we all think she is, she's not that dumb. She probably cries herself to sleep every night. I think that her "look at me" antics are because she's desperately unhappy at home.

This bugs me because I read an advice column question not long ago and I desperately tried to find the link to it and couldn't but................The Mother of the groom asked how to handle thank you notes or should she even encourage her DIL to send them because just after the honeymoon her son was diagnosed with cancer, he got treatment but died within about six months.  That means that couple didn't even get to celebrate their first wedding anniversary at all.  Not to mention the numerous times we've heard about couples getting married in the hospital just so they can have that moment knowing that the sick person has only days to live.    But please Lauren do tell us how you've had "more" downs than ANY newly married couple.

I was reading in the news the other day about a couple where the husband drowned ON HIS HONEYMOON!

I mean, I honestly don't think Josiah and Lauren have had a great first year with the miscarriage, his grandmother dying, and them not seeming to like each other, but both of them being above ground is nothing to sniff at. Lauren doesn't seem to appreciate anything or have any perspective.

The latest bump-cradle photo just looks odd.  Lauren's face looks cartoonish.  Her mouth and eyes are twice the size of Josiah's.   I wonder if she overdid it when editing the photo.  I'm not seeing what everyone else is with Josiah's expression.  All I see are his mother's crazy eyes.  Also, is the caption cut off?  "He's my favorite.....what?"   I don't get the context.

When is she due? Gender?

The first pic isn’t too bad since she isn’t holding on to her stomach. She turned sideways to show off her pregnant belly though. Jeez we got it you are pregnant 😁.

Mid-November. 

Siah's pants are way too tight. Yikes. It's almost as if no one taught him how to dress properly.

As much as I'm not a fan of Lauren, I do feel a bit sorry for her. She's married to the red-headed stepchild in a family where giving birth is as routine as breathing. Not only is she due around the same time as three other family members, but they're all having girls. Her kid won't even stand out from the crowd and she'll barely get to bask in the glow before the next one arrives or someone else announces a pregnancy. I know it's inevitable with such a large group, but it still kind of sucks.

Lauren and her family were in the same circles as the Duggars for a very long time. They were at Zach Bates's wedding. They were at Jill and Derick's wedding. Derick released a long version of their wedding for their 5th anniversary. The first twenty minutes or so was people entering the church including David and Priscilla Waller (+kids), the Bates family, and the Swansons among others. Lauren is sister-momming for her mother and looking somewhat disinterested while still doing what needs to be done. 

She is definitely from their world and I think that's the main reason she got married to Josiah. Her family also attends events like Big Sandy. 

I think she's overdramatic, but I also feel like she seems somewhat depressed and that marriage is big adjustment for her.

Lauren didn't even get to stand out with her first pregnancy.  (besides the miscarriage) Wasn't Asa due around the same time as Ivy was born?  Asa being a boy would have been the only thing to have set her apart on the Duggar side of the family when everyone else is/was having girls, except Amy. * 

* I just read @cmr2014 post & I admit I forget about the Swanson side of the family.

She was, yes. Jessa made that super bitchy Instagram post expressing "sympathy" for Lauren by showing off her own bump and mentioning they would've been due around the same time.

Lauren would have been due long before Jessa. They claim that they were due at the same time but it's impossible if Josiah and Lauren announced at Michelle's birthday party on September 13th per some of the interviews.

I supposed we will find out in late September/early October when they make a memorial post about Asa but they've been pretty cagey on the dates.

Or there is the simplest explanation of them all. They are Duggars and they don't know how to math.

I think if Lauren had taken the pee test that morning and had the shirt ready to go, the timeline barely fits but it’s possible.  She was probably taking pee tests every morning leading up to her period.

Jessa was due June 6th with Ivy. She would have conceived around September 10th. Meech's birthday is September 13th.

So they were pregnant at the same time but not due at the same time. They were likely due 4-6 weeks apart. Unless I'm missing something and Meech's birthday is a month later. Then that would make more sense for them to be due around the same time.

I'm still going with the simple explanation that the Duggars can't math.

It would be hilarious if all the babies were named Mary!

Well, for Kendra & Joe they could use MaryJo.  For Anna & Josh, they could use, well....MaryJo.  For Lauren & Josiah, they could use....um....uh.....MaryJo......

Is there any girl baby they can't name MaryJo?
