Maybe Giddyup seems small because we're used to seeing chunky Henry, but I'm surprised he's so scrawny considering he was a tank at birth. I really hope Austin doesn't have Giddyup on a strict feeding schedule. When I attended an SDA church in the 1980's, the church had classes on the Pearl's book. Several mom's, including breastfeeding mom's, adhered to rigid schedules and allowed their babies to scream in between. One baby was so tiny and weak at 14 months that she had to be hospitalized. Several super conservative Christian groups believe that even tiny infants are being manipulative when they cry and demand food! I've seen these mom's say they are not going to give in to their babies demands. 26 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/68169-josiah-and-lauren-he-has-to-marry-somebody/page/24/#findComment-4463965

Ijustwantsomechips July 4, 2018 Share July 4, 2018 I never thought I’d say this but thank God for Lauren and Kendra. Along with Jeremy (though I still think he’s an arrogant prick). These girls brought some much needed, albeit minimal style to this group of frumpy fraus. Maybe the older girls will take a look at pics of Joe and Si’s wedding and see how disheveled they are and how mousy and terrible they look. And none of that new mom bullshit either. You’re still a person and can make time to brush your damned hair. Hopefully Jessa will also see that she is not/was not nearly as hot as she thought. If nothing else, I hope Joy, Jordan, Jennifer and Johanna benefit from this. Maybe they will realize maternity clothes are not supposed to be skin tight, and you can look put together and still maintain your faith and modesty standards. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/68169-josiah-and-lauren-he-has-to-marry-somebody/page/24/#findComment-4464142

If he were to offer the opinion that Michelle was too indulgent by letting the babies nurse on demand (and he could probably make a case of the fact that the Duggars in general don't have quite the work ethic that his family has), Joy would probably believe him.

I read a story once of nursing mothers who didn't realize their babies weren't getting enough milk. The babies were nursing, but for some reason not enough milk was flowing through. These women only knew something was wrong when they brought their babies for their regular wellness checkup and found that the babies had not only not gained weight, but in some cases had lost weight. They then started supplementing with formula. Sadly, in this case, there are probably no wellness checkups.

Let’s not even get started on the hair that looks like it hasn’t been washed in a week. Just... eww. I liked Lauren’s dress. It was very simple but it fit well and looked very good on her. The bridesmaids dress was an unfortunate style for Joy, because an empire waist style with bodice shirring is always going to make busty women look even bustier. Still, it managed to look modest but still reasonably stylish and is something that can be worn again. 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/68169-josiah-and-lauren-he-has-to-marry-somebody/page/24/#findComment-4465739

queenanne July 5, 2018 Share July 5, 2018 (edited) I feel like as a general rule the people I know do dress up for wedding rehearsals, because amongst the people I know it involves (a), church i.e "going into a sanctuary", which is a dressed-up occasion; (b), attendance at a really nice restaurant for afters. Conversely, not every occasion that involves stepping over the threshold of a church is deemed sacred and your clothing would be purpose-built. It would be odd to, for example, dress up for youth group, with the expectation that you'll be engaged in some sort of "activity"; and partly odd to do so for a mid-week Bible study held in some place other than the sanctuary, like a church classroom; in most instances, the fanciest you'd get for the latter would be "business casual", and in that case it's always possible that some of the attendees are dressed thus because they had no time to change after work.

And since Mom Ryan has already posted pics about being at the wedding that day and mentioned about being over at TTH that evening, I'm guessing this was taken then.

Also, assuming that the Duggars shelled out for any kind of meal for the participants/family after the wedding rehearsal? I'd bet the rent it would not be at any kind of restaurant, much less a "really nice" one. Probably potluck dishes of the usual glop served up on Styrofoam plates at the TTH.

My baby is a few weeks younger than Gideon and was born smaller, but had issues gaining weight with breastfeeding only. I supplemented on my pediatrician's recommendation and my baby steadily gained weight. At their last appointment, my baby was in the 10th percentile of weight. The pediatrician was not concerned because my baby's weight was trending upward along with length and head circumference and all milestones were met. She said a chunky baby wasn't necessarily healthier or better than a skinny baby- as long as the baby is growing. Some babies are just naturally lean. I was, so were my siblings. Alas, we outgrew it. It could be that Gidgeon is right on target for height and weight and the other baby in the photo is off the chart. Also, if you look at the growth charts, there is a huge range for what is considered 'normal.' At one month of age, a kid who is 7 lbs 4 oz is lower end of normal, while the kid at the upper limit weighs over 13 lbs!

BitterApple July 5, 2018 Share July 5, 2018 Is this Ryan lady angling to become the next Christian reality star or something? Because I checked out her Instagram and she does not seem like the type of person to be hanging out with the low-brow Duggars. There's got to be some reason she's kissing Michelle's ass. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/68169-josiah-and-lauren-he-has-to-marry-somebody/page/24/#findComment-4466261

This is the 1st time I see a resemblance between Joy and Jessa. Man she got Michelle's boobs! Michelle's hair looks terrible and it really doesn't have to. Josh is still punchable. At this point Joe and Kendra are my favorites of the bunch. On 7/3/2018 at 6:13 PM, madpsych78 said: Is it me, or has Smuggar lost some weight? He does.

Ohiopirate02 July 5, 2018 Share July 5, 2018 The more I look at those bridesmaid dresses, the more I dislike them. It's the combination of the pleats, the high waist and the high neckline. When you have a larger chest, a higher neckline tends to make them more obvious. I avoid anything too high necked for my ample bosom. There is a happy medium between Duggar "modest" and cups spilling over. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/68169-josiah-and-lauren-he-has-to-marry-somebody/page/24/#findComment-4466782
