Yeah, but some opinionated woman had to remark on there that she hoped Gracie got a sibling soon because it's no fun growing up without one...the kid's not even two!
Granted, I'm touchy about the topic. I had three miscarriages in addition to my son before being told I was infertile, sucks to be you. Didn't stop a bunch of women from telling me I wasn't a "real mom" and was ruining my son's life by not producing siblings for him. And I wasn't even fundy.
Also, I have two siblings. The one I was closest to died several years ago. There is no animosity between me and the one who is left, but we're just night and day. Sibling does not mean automatic best friends.

I do know the difference between to, too, and two

Unless you are a Bates or Duggar. And you never interact with anyone else. Of course, it must be a sibling of the same “gender” as you. That’s why Carson needs a brother! He’ll go through life friendless otherwise.

sorry that happened to you. Those people suck. Next time tell them you can't and try to make them feel as bad as you can.

Also this is yet another instance of the leghumpers turning on the Duggar-Bates crowd when they don't reproduce fast enough.🙄

Or give a sad sigh and say "You never know who you're going to hurt with that question/comment."

Then walk away, you don't owe them a second of your time.

Thanks. My son is now in his late 20s, so it has tapered off tremendously. I remarried a couple years ago, and I actually had someone ask if we were going to try for kids (?!?).

I had a hysterectomy when my one and only child was 4. I don't know if I would have had more children or not, as I'm an only, but I no longer had the choice. I since remarried and he knew from the get go there would be no other children. He was fine with that. Thank God no one brought up the subject or said such horrible things to me. 

I can't imagine being in this cult when breeding is a woman's sole purpose in life and if you can't.

Abbie looks adorable.  And not pregnant.  Good for her.

Their little girl is just a sweetie, and Abbie certainly picks darling outfits for her, too.

[xwordfanatik]

Their happiness appears genuine.  I agree, Abbie looks great, and Gracie is a cutie.  What a contrast to, say, Jessa and Ben.

Gee, you mean waiting to get married and not having 4 kids right away might be a good idea???

You read my mind.  JD and Abbie are much better suited, and their ages were a definite plus!

You can’t get much cuter than this!  IMO she would look even more adorable with a pageboy haircut.

[madpsych78]

Gracie seems to have inherited JD's hair texture so far...no curly hair like her mother. That could change as she gets older, though. Joey McIntyre's hair was initially straight as a kid and then it curled when he reached puberty.

The above is a screenshot of a comment on a picture of Joy and Abbie on Joy's Instagram.  Who knows who the poster is.  Any other slips that this may be true? 

[xwordfanatik]

Won't one of those marrieds stop at two kids?

Silly me.  At least Abbie only has one so far.

There's a better picture of her from the side at the Arkansas football game from a couple of weeks ago where her tummy looks flat in a dress with a defined waistline.  It's upthread a bit.

people really do like to guess about this. This picture really doesn't give much information, and the print on the top plus the way she's standing next to Joy and the other girl to me looks like you can't tell one way or the other. The picture from the football game makes her look not pregnant. 

[Temperance]

I find this kind of gross. Yes, Gracie is old enough that Abbie could easily be pregnant. (Grace will be 2 in January.)

However most of the speculation seems to be based on Abbie's body, which isn't necessarily evidence. Especially a woman like Abbie, who had severe morning sickness, is less likely to show early in the first trimester and may even lose weight early on in the pregnancy.

[ginger90]

The second picture is a screenshot from a video. 

[GeeGolly]

So JD was a groomsman.

[Ijustwantsomechips]

Grace is adorable. I never noticed she had JD’s eyes until seeing these pics.

[GeeGolly]

I wonder if that's Lauren in front of Abbie. Lauren was spotted at the rehearsal dinner.

I also wonder if JB & M went.

If it is Lauren, it doesn't look like Josiah was anywhere in that screenshot. Then again, it was just a screenshot.

[BitterApple]

Was Josiah a groomsman?

I think the only Duggar groomsman was John David.

[graefin]

Maybe Esther could've borrowed one of Abbie's hair clips. Her hair hanging in her face and obscuring her eyes was an atrocity, IMO. (What is it with these fundies and common sense?)

[andromeda331]

Gracie's really cute.

That is quite a form fitting dress. And, good job on dressing appropriately for the occasion. (It’s a low bar with the Duggars. 😀)

[floridamom]

Abbie sure has a great shape. She looks great, really. John looks like a happy man. He never looked happy when he was a single man.

Is it my imagination or is the bottom of her dress sheer ?

They're one of the few Duggar couples where the smiles reach the eyes.

Probably because they didn't rush to get married with the first person they found attractive. They are also older. 

[Scarlett45]

I think JD and Abbie have genuine feelings for each other and that has grown and develop as the marriage has gone on. They are very well suited.

I think it is the type of dress that you wear a slip under.  She has one but the slips ends above her knees.

John and Abbie must be in TN. They're out to dinner with Carlin, Evan, Zach and Whitney.

John and Abbie seem so quiet compared to the very loud Carlin and Evan.

What is the song/artist playing during the montage here?
