JoanArc July 17, 2019 Share July 17, 2019 I just realized how terribly shot the first two pics are. Abbie looks like a 10 year old girl 'marrying her 45 hear old dad in a purity ring ceremony. 11 1 Link to comment

That family can’t keep pregnancy news quiet to save their lives. Thank you. I'm constantly amazed at the posts all over this board implying that this or that daughter/daughter-in-law is hiding a pregnancy. That has simply never happened -- they barely wait until the pee-stick is dry. Jessa held out the longest with Spurgeon, and she announced at 3 or 4 months. 1 5 Link to comment

Plus JD was not all that interested in the cameras when he "lived" in the TTH. Maybe they, like the Vuolos, are developing their own interpretation of their rules, adapting some, etc. since they have each other for support in all of this. I still think their views are abhorrent. 17 Link to comment

I still think their views are abhorrent. Oh definitely. The difference between them and the rest of the clan is that they are keeping their views to themselves and out of the public eye. Whether that is a good thing or not, you decide. It's very interesting the Burnetts have decided to remain quiet and not seek out publicity. The rest of the Duggar in-laws were salivating at the idea of being on the TeeVee and having a famous son/daughter-in-law. 18 Link to comment
Ohiopirate02 July 18, 2019 Share July 18, 2019 I do get the feeling that this is one of the better Duggar kidult marriages. I think there is a genuine affection bordering on love between JD and Abby, and this is probably the most egalitarian. Good for them for staying off social media and enjoying their first year of marriage and working on building a life together. I hope one of the reasons why they have been silent is that a baby is in their 2-5 year plan and they are practicing some kind of birth control. 14 Link to comment

I think the fact that they've been so quiet, and the in-laws haven't started some sort of evangelical blog or singing troupe, is fascinating. I would put JD/Abbie alongside Joy/Austin as the two couples who would have existed with or without the TV show. Joy/Austin always struck me as childhood friends who were reasonably compatible and it seemed practical, and JD seems legit smitten by Abbie. I'm sure JD and Abbie have the same shitty views as the rest of the clan, but they've got the good sense and polite manners to keep their mouths shut and their heads down about it. 16 Link to comment
PikaScrewChu July 18, 2019 Share July 18, 2019 I don't think Austin would have married Joy without the D-List fame. Remember that the Forsyths immediately included her in the Fort Rock banner as soon as the courtship was announced. They were looking for a bride that could bring in more $$$ to their business. Had Joy been Joy Duggar the daughter of Jim Bob Duggar the Leech, she wouldn't have even been in the running. Rather she was Joy Duggar, one of the stars of TLC's Counting On. It was very much a business transaction on both sides, although it seems to have worked out? I'm still on the fence about Austin. The Burnetts are just very interesting in that we don't know much about them besides they are deep in the IBLP kool-aid, but let their daughters do NIKE things like nursing and wear pants. The dad isn't a pastor trying to hitch his wagon to JB nor is JRod heading off to try and park her RV in their driveway. 2 5 Link to comment
YupItsMe July 18, 2019 Share July 18, 2019 At least we know she’s alive. Well maybe we do, there still no proof. I was beginning to worry when she didn’t even show up at Grandma Duggar’s funeral. 2 Link to comment

JoanArc July 19, 2019 Share July 19, 2019 No way is not not knocked up. Abbie seems smart enough to wait until shes well into the second trimester to announce. I'd love for them not to post about a pregnancy at all, and just announce the birth. It'd be the ultimate FU to his upbringing. 8 14 Link to comment

Zella July 24, 2019 Share July 24, 2019 This makes me hopeful their lack of social media presence means they're aiming for a more low-key, private life than other members of the circus. If so, good for them. 17 Link to comment

As a Duggar/Duggar-in-law it's a requirement to cradle your stomach (or vagina like Lauren Markle) the second the pee stick shows a positive. I really hope these two have decided a low key lifestyle is for them and they stay off social media. I do wonder what kind of storyline TLC will have to come up with for them because of how low key they both seem to be. I forgot. Jabbie was out with Lawson and Nathan Bates over the weekend. Here's a full length picture of the two of them. Edited July 24, 2019 by PikaScrewChu 1 1 5 Link to comment

LOL I have no idea if she's pregnant or not; but you can often tell maternity tops/dresses because they have no waist. They might be gathered under the bust but then they just fall away to accommodate the bump. That's why everyone looks pregnant when they wear empire waist shirts, LOL! 2 1 Link to comment

I noticed that in other candid pictures too. She seems to prefer being photographed from the side. Link to comment
Sew Sumi July 24, 2019 Share July 24, 2019 A bump would be even more noticeable from a side profile. I vote not pregnant. If she is pregnant, she's just first trimester. 5 Link to comment
