What I saw looked mostly like the rogue lizard I removed from my husband’s office floor the other day and returned to the wild...only redder.

farmgal4 November 12, 2019 Share November 12, 2019 Why are they just now announcing the birth when she was born 3 days ago? Link to comment
Sew Sumi November 12, 2019 Share November 12, 2019 Because she gave birth late Friday afternoon, too late to get out to the media before the weekend. 1 18 Link to comment
Lunera November 12, 2019 Share November 12, 2019 Also, Whitney gave birth a day before Lauren and announced on Friday. I think they wanted to have their own spotligh. 12 Link to comment

The waiting to announce is a Duggar family thing. Kendra's daughter Addison was born Saturday Nov. 2 and they announced Monday when US Weekly was ready. Lauren had her baby Friday and announced today. If M6 is born this week, she'll be announced next Monday. 3 2 Link to comment
Spencer Hastings November 12, 2019 Share November 12, 2019 Bella Milagro is a beautiful name, but it sounds too much like the restaurant in my town named Bella Milano. I’ll want Italian food every single time I hear her name. 20 2 Link to comment
3 is enough November 12, 2019 Share November 12, 2019 The article rehashed the whole Asa odyssey, but I did notice that when they talked about the birth there was no mention of Asa or a “rainbow baby”. So there’s that I guess. Glad everything worked out well for them. 6 Link to comment

Popular Post Gemma Violet November 12, 2019 Popular Post Share November 12, 2019 Here's another article: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-7674283/Counting-stars-Josiah-Lauren-Duggar-welcome-baby-girl-named-Bella-Milagro.html I think the Daily Mail writer is not a fan. The article is kind of snarky. From the article: Quote While the couple is clearly joyful about their new baby, the birth announcement made sure to mention Lauren's suffering during labor. Quote Also due this month is Anna, 31, with her sixth child with sex pest Josh, 31. This is the second child that the couple conceived since Josh's dual sex scandals in 2015. Quote Lauren has been outspoken about suffering a miscarriage last fall at just five weeks gestation. Quote While entertaining Lana and Michelle with plates of fruit, Lauren listened as they spoke about their own miscarriages. Quote She presumably received a lot of gifts on the occasion from family and fans alike — particularly since she shared her $3,250+ Amazon baby registry on her and Josiah's joint Instagram account, adding a link to their bio. 25 2 Link to comment
yogi2014L November 12, 2019 Share November 12, 2019 I think Bella is cute, looks like Lauren. As much as I find the Duggars despicable, I am always happy to see presumably healthy deliveries/babies. Glad Lauren didn't go the Jill/Joy/Jessa disaster home birth route. Bella Milagro Duggar. Good thing she is most likely going to marry and change her name because Duggar ruins the prettiness of Bella Milagro. 23 Link to comment

But because I have the sense of humor (and sensibilities) of a 10-year-old boy, the first thing I thought of was that her initials were going to be BM Duggar. . . . 22 1 Link to comment

I didn't have an IV when Baby Ponga was born, but was under the impression they went into the inside of the arm. I have bruises up and down the outside of my arms from my recent IVs. I think the other posters are right that they put them any place they can. 6 Link to comment

Rescue Mama November 12, 2019 Share November 12, 2019 Sweet baby. Newborns are the best. I'd love to snuggle one for a while. My daughter is done having kids and my son and his girl don't want kids so no more newborn snuggles for me. Lauren isn't my favorite but i hope all went well and everyone is happy and healthy. 12 Link to comment
Popular Post cmr2014 November 12, 2019 Popular Post Share November 12, 2019 I hope she genuinely enjoys being a mom, because if she thought that this was going to make her the center of attention, I think she's mistaken. There were 2-3 before Bella, and there are 2-3 yet to be born in the next few months. It used to be a new baby got pages of posts on this site, but no more. Ivy got a few pages, and Addie barely got anything. This family produces way too many babies and they just aren't interesting any more. 1 1 26 Link to comment

galaxygirl76 November 12, 2019 Share November 12, 2019 I wonder if Bella was always the front runner or if they picked it once it became available when Joy lost her baby. Either way to me it's a little too close for comfort to Joy's little girls name. Poor Joy. 15 Link to comment
Tasya November 12, 2019 Share November 12, 2019 I think naming the baby Bella is in extremely poor taste considering Joy's loss. Why would she do that? It's already going to be painful for Joy, no matter what she said about being happy for her siblings. Now she has to see a baby girl that same age and basically the same name on a regular basis. Lauren has zero empathy. 23 Link to comment

3 is enough November 12, 2019 Share November 12, 2019 I assume they are home now. Wonder how Lauren is coping with a newborn while healing from her “long and difficult” labor. I’m guessing her mom won’t be available to wait on her because there are still little ones at home. Then again, I suppose a sister mom could be recruited to free up Grandma. 8 Link to comment
