Glad she has gained some weight, she was getting very thin
ReplyDeleteYes, I thought so, too. I think you see the effects of some weight loss on her most particularly on footage of her wedding and honeymoon. I know a lot of people like to lose weight for their weddings, but Jinger was never overweight to begin with.
DeleteSuper cute! Jinger's hair looks darker... She looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteJinger looks well with her little bump. Halway thru to seeing their blessing yay
ReplyDeleteThere is a watermelon down the road! After the eggplants and cantalopes!
ReplyDeleteI like that - a watermelon down the road, lol. 💞💓💓
DeleteLol.
DeleteSo exciting I hope you have a baby girl! You look so beautiful with your hair black like that I love it! God bless Xoxoxoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteShe’s going to have a beautiful little girl 🌸💖🌟
ReplyDeleteHow do you know it's a girl?
DeleteExactly! To assume it’s a girl because Jinger is small and cute versus huge does not mean it’s a girl!
DeleteI think it's a girl too! Hope so anyways.
DeleteShe’s carrying it high.
DeleteJinger, will be having a precious little girl. How do I know, she’s carrying the baby high. All the other girls carried their baby low. I carried all 3 of my girls high.
DeleteShe’s carrying the baby high. It will be a girl.
DeleteHow you carry has nothing to do with the sex of the baby. I carried all 3 of mine low, 2 girls and 1 boy.
DeleteI really don't believe you can know. People have guessed it wrong when I was pregnant.
DeleteSo excited for the Vuolos! And I love seeing Jinger's hair curly again. It's been straight alot lately.
ReplyDeleteJinger you look amazing, that's one of the neatest bumps Iv ever seen. Hope all continues to go well for you & you enjoy the next 20 weeks until you meet your lovely baby.
ReplyDeleteI carried high like Jinger when I was pregnant with my sons������
ReplyDeleteMy mom carried high with all her kids, most being girls, everything is based off of your body type, the babies gender doesn't effect your shape
DeleteMe too! I carried high with all my 4 pregnancies and so I was convinced it’d be a 4th girl and it was a boy. So the gender didn’t matter it was just my body
DeleteShe's barely showing yet. I was huge! Can't wait to hear the gender!
ReplyDeleteDid you eat a lot?
Delete9:22, more factors come into play when you're pregnant than just eating.
DeleteLOL@9:22! I don’t think that will go over well! Maybe Jinger is exercising too? Out of 4 pregnancies I was able to workout at a regular pace for 3 of them. It’s was great! Much easier deliveries. I know women who continue to run marathons( obviously with Dr approval). Jinger looks healthy and beautiful.
DeleteI don’t understand this tend of comparing the baby’s size to a food. We all know long 7 inches is and 10 ounces is still less than a pound. We know 20 weeks is the half way point in a pregnancy. It just seems so silly.
ReplyDeleteI actually thought it was a great idea to compare the growing baby to something my kids and I could relate to. It helps you visualize the size of the baby better than just thinking of ounces and pounds.
DeleteIt's cute, why do you feel the need to say rude things towards a first time mom who is showing the size of her baby in an adorable way?
DeleteI agree with anon at 10:34, I think it's fun, and easier for kids to understand!
DeleteMelissa, why do kids need to understand? For goodness sake let them be kids. They really are not interested unless they are coerced into believing they have to be interested.
DeleteI like the analogy
Delete2:34 - It's common for parents to teach their children as they're growing up, and teaching is not always dependent on a child's interest. Do you think that school should be optional for children, depending on whether they're interested in what they're learning?
DeleteNot sure why you're opposed to a parent explaining something to their child that they might not understand otherwise.
Why are any of you explaining a growing baby bump to children???
Delete9:54 - why would you not? Children are pretty observant. They ask questions. Pregnancy is a part of life, and much easier to explain to children when they get older if you start with the really basic things when they're younger, like the fact that there is a tiny baby growing inside the mom that will continue to get bigger until it's ready to be born. We aren't living in the Victorian Age anymore, when such things were considered taboo to discuss.
DeleteMarch 8th *3:08pm..
DeleteWhen pregnant with my 4th, my Dr. said to bring older 3 girls to the birth of their baby sister! It was wonderful (My mom said No!) She was there, with my 3 girls, outside the room and they were the first to see their baby sister. I have a picture with each of them on their lap, cute stuff! 💞💓
Are they going to find out the gender or are they going to wait til it is born?
ReplyDeleteThey said they were going to find out, but they haven't said if they'll announce it before the baby is born.
DeleteTime moves so fast!! Is she already halfway through her pregnancy? Wow.
ReplyDeleteYes Jinger you really do have a baby bump. You don't need to arch your back any longer
ReplyDeleteHave you never been pregnant? My back arched with all 3 pregnancies....I wasn't doing it.
DeleteI don't understand that stance they all do, hands back on hips and belly thrust forward. You can see a bump even with your arms down and standing normally.
DeleteCan we just stop picking on the way she (or the other preganant women) stand? So not important.
DeleteGood grief, she has a naturally arching back
DeleteI’ve been pregnant many times Connie. I never arched my back or put my hand under my belly in every picture to show how big I was. I was pregnant. People got it.
DeleteMy, my, my! Back to the arched back. These people want a pregnant woman to hunch over and walk like a 100 year old person. If they didn’t arch their back and humped over, these crazy, complaining people would then complain because they humped over. Gripe, gripe, gripe. These people probably gripe when the sun shines and it’s a beautiful day. You Duggar girls have class and carry yourselves well. I’m 73 and love you and your family 😍🌟
DeleteHer back is straight .She is just getting her arm out of the way .Don't be a bully.
DeleteOk. About the back arching....I worked in OB/GTN for 20 yrs. When women get pregnant, their bodies release a hormone called elastin. It makes the tendons and ligaments loosen up to give the pelvic strutures room to move and spread as the baby grows.
DeleteSome women will appear to have a hyper arched back as a result.
Baby bump....Jingers baby bump did not show right away as this is her first pregnancy. Niw that her abdominal muscles are being stretched, future pregnancies will show earlier.
And gender of baby has nothing to do with carring high or low. It depends on how fit your body is pre pregnancy
They all do it, her bump isn't even big enough yet to alter her centre of gravity thst much which would cause her to do it naturally. These young women are all setting themselves up for back problems if they do this in real life and not just for pictures.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I hope they only do it when posing for pictures. I have had back problems for many years and had to do special exercises during the last trimester to help with the growing weight of the baby. Doing that arch is a bad idea at all times.
DeleteHahahahahahahahaha, back trouble lol. They won’t have back trouble. Some of you people are so negative. I’m 73 and have been truly blessed health wise and in every other way. I was raised on a farm and did all chores I was suppose to do. It’s good for kids to do chores and learn to be responsible. These Duggar girls have done every chore there is. They are strong, independent, courageous, classy women. They can do anything that needs to be done. Yay 💃💥 Duggar family. Keep right on doing what you are doing and keep the faith😍🌟🌟
DeleteI guess, Ginger has broken out the tight shirts after all!
ReplyDeleteYour statement is ridiculous. She is growing, what tent is suitable to your liking?
DeleteIf she wore a loose top you wouldn’t really see the bump....they are too modest to do naked belly pics which many women do these days. The pics of her when she is not intentionally focusing on her bump show her wearing loose appropriate maternity wear.
DeleteShe looks great! What are talking about?
DeleteYup, she sure has!
DeleteThe first girl in the family!
ReplyDeleteHuh? What about the other 2 granddaughters? Unless you mean the Vuolos. Do we know its a girl?
DeleteMackynzie and Meredith....
DeleteI wonder if they are told to stand like that to keep the arm facing the camera out of the way for the picture?
ReplyDeleteNo one—I don’t think so as I’ve noticed it’s a trend among my children’s friends who are now married and starting families. Of course we never did photo shoots FOR EVERYTHING either “back in the day”! We just lived!
DeleteI don't know. I have a bad back. If I stood like that I'd have back spasms for a couple of days after doing that sort of "arch".
DeleteShe is supporting the excess weight carried in her front. Place some weights in a backpack and wear it in your front, you'd be standing like that too.
Delete@anon 12:50....what "growing weight"? At 20 weeks the baby only weighs a few ounces. The posture in the picture is a bad idea and if kept will lead to major back problems.
DeleteIf I put an artichoke under my waistband, I wouldn't have to stand like that to balance it out!
DeleteHahahahahahahahaha. Really😂
DeleteI don't know...I might stand like that if I had an artichoke under my waist band. Those things have prickers!!
DeleteIt's not just the "artichoke" - google what all causes weight gain in a pregnant woman. A healthy pregnant woman can gain up to 35 pounds or so, and of course it's not all baby.
DeleteTight shirts are more comfortable for some people, I know they were for me. If its a boy or a girl its still a blessing. She looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteSo cute, looks like a girl to me. Either way a lucky baby to have 2 such sweet and amazing parents.
ReplyDeleteI'm am so sick of people complaining on how the girls stand, why does it bother you So?Get a grip their is more to life than nit picking...the content dont criticize,AND happy dont harp...nuff said...blessings😍😘😎
ReplyDeleteBecause they are uncharitably assuming the Duggars are pridefully showing off their pregnant bellies. Or somehow using the pregnancy as an excuse to be immodest. Again, I wonder why some people follow the Duggars if they are so convinced they are such horrid people.
DeleteI agree - with every single pregnancy we see the same boring comments about how they stand and what they wear and how they carry and how big or little the baby bellies are. I am truly excited for each and every baby born into their family. I'm not bored by the pregnancies, just the repetitive and judgmental comments! :)
DeleteAbsolutely just wondering...Is it safe to dye your hair while pregnant? I like Jinger's hair color either way, but loved the brunette brown, she had in the pic with the the little suit jacket/sKinny trousers. Just a couple of pics ago showing off her bump.
ReplyDeleteDoesn’t hurt to dye your hair.
DeleteI stopped that because the dye is so strong I could actually taste it because the chemicals were quickly absorbed through my scalp tissues in the waiting period. I would recommend a pregnant woman NOT dye her hair because she does INjest the dye chemicals into her body through her scalp.
DeleteWith girls, you tend to fill out everywhere. Jinger looks like she could be carrying a girl, because her face is a little fuller. Still thin, but fuller. Also, she is carrying up high.
ReplyDeleteWe'll probably learn next Monday what she's having ! So exciting !
ReplyDeleteI bet the Monday after that it'll bé jessa's pregancy announcement
Jessa may not be pregnant, Henry may still be nursing. Why the rush?
DeleteHenry could still be nursing and Jess could, in fact, be pregnant. Nursing doesn't always prevent a pregnancy, per my OB-GYN. It's heavily dependent on how much the child is still actually consuming, which is kind of hard to measure. ;)
DeletePregnancy really suits Jinger. I would also love to see some pregnancy pictures of Kendra. Please give us an update on how she's doing too.
ReplyDeleteThey can't give us an update until Kendra gives them one. Maybe she and Joe want to live more privately.
DeleteJINGER U DO WHAT U WANT, ARCH YOUR BACK TILL U LIKE IT, U ARE A WONDERFUL WOMAN, AND U ARE HAPPY U ARE HAVING A BABY!!!! BE HAPPY WEAR TIGHT SHIRTS, U HAVE FOLLOWED EVERYTHING, SO IF U WANT TO DO SOMETHING, DO IT, AND GOD SPEED WITH THE PREGNANCY!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe growing size of an expectant woman's abdomen is no one's business but the couple's business. Why do these people insist on posing for the camera for the world to see. Not modest OR in good taste.
ReplyDelete❣ Just for the update pictures , I don't think they arch their backs...
DeleteJust holding the arm back to show that belly for the camera.....❣😬
