Lisa418722 June 25, 2019 Share June 25, 2019 Neither one of them looks happy. They have fake smiles and of course, the smile does not reach their eyes. If anyone had told me five years ago, this was going to be a how Josiah was going to look, I never would have believed it. He had this spark, that made him so special, snuffed out. 6 Link to comment

Love your post. Believe it or not the Duggars have become part of my pain management. Many nights I wake up in pain & check out what's happening with them while waiting for my pain med to kick in. Before I know it, a half hour has slipped by & my pain has subsided. Other times I check in on the blog if I'm hurting & it's between times for my pain med. It does take my mind off the pain or at least dulls it some while I'm reading about what Jill is cooking or wearing or what Jessa is up to. The Maxwells & their old blogs work well too. I've gone down many black holes of the Internet in the middle of the night to pass time. (Home births, adoption stories, miscarriages & stillbirths to name a few.*) IIRC, that's how I came across TWOP & realized the Duggars weren't quite the christian family they appeared to be on TV. * I also like to explore abandoned places esp old amusement parks so I'm bot totally stuck on what I call Duggar related topics. ) Now to get the train back on the tracks of Siah & Lauren, I see others were questioning their strange gender reveal on the (i think) Michelle & JB thread. 18 Link to comment

Someone else on another thread (I think) managed to parse out that it seems all the balloons were supposed to have white confetti, except one. That one would have pink or blue confetti, depending on the sex of the baby. But none of the balloons had anything but white, until Lauren's sister produced an extra balloon with the pink confetti. My question is, why have the sex-reveal balloon hiding away? Why not just give it to someone and make sure that one was popped last? Or have a bunch of decoy (non-confetti filled) balloons to follow? Actually, why do confetti in balloons at all? That seems wasteful and messy. 12 Link to comment

This is at least the second public-masturbation picture I've seen of her .... Although, as someone else has noted, this one also suggests a super-itchy yeast infection. Those "cradle the bump" photos bug me whoever is doing them in early pregnancy, but I swear I've never seen anyone else do it so they look more like "publicly fingering my genitals" shots. It's especially weird to me, too, since Lauren seems to be quite image conscious and media conscious. In this age when you can check out your photos for flaws the instant they're taken so you can, you know, take a better one, I'm amazed that she hasn't noticed this..... Unless it's some kind of subconscious rebellion against the mega-"modesty" anti-self-pleasuring regime she was brought up in. 😀 In any case, stop it, Lauren.
