Parenting Baby Bella

Family walk with Josiah, Lauren, and Bella Duggar

 

"I like coming home and saying, 'Daddy's home,' and then seeing Bella and her face light up."
-Josiah Duggar

Bella Duggar is eight days away from her five-month milestone. In a recent video from TLC, Josiah and Lauren Duggar share a few thoughts on parenting (link below). It seems like just yesterday they were talking about preparing for Bella's arrival.

We hope that all our readers had a wonderful weekend. Just wanted to jump on here and share a new mother-daughter photo of Lauren and Bella. Bella will be five months old on April 8th. Do you think she has more Duggar or Swanson features right now?

If I Throw a Fit...

"I think being a parent now for four years, I'm realizing now much I don't know about this."

-Jessa Seewald

Jessa and Ben Seewald have three children ages four and under, and before Spurgeon's fourth birthday in November, they had three ages three and under. TLC just posted a video in which the Seewalds share some thoughts on parenting, as well as a tip they learned from Michelle Duggar (link below).

Baby Forsyth #3 On the Way

Gideon Forsyth, Austin Forsyth, Joy Forsyth

 

Just before Austin's birthday on December 11th, Joy-Anna Forsyth found out that she was pregnant! The elated couple has since been told the gender, and it's a girl! She is due in five months, on August 19th, 2020. At around eight weeks, Joy's blood work indicated that it might be a molar pregnancy, which is not viable. The expectant mother was overjoyed to find out that the baby was healthy. Baby Girl Forsyth is due nine months after Annabell's November 2019 due date.

New Photos of the Infant Grand-Duggars

Grace Duggar

With the coronavirus inundating news sources across the globe, we thought we would provide something to make our readers smile. The five infant Duggar grandchildren are growing quickly. Ivy Seewald is almost 10 months old, Addison Duggar and Bella Duggar are both four months old, Maryella Duggar is three months old, and Grace Duggar is two months old. For fun, here are photos of all five of these precious Duggar granddaughters.

The Duggars and Coronavirus

A "small" group of Duggars

This afternoon, President Trump announced that Americans should avoid gatherings of 10 or more people, with the goal of stopping the spread of coronavirus. Ironically, when you have 19 children (including more than seven still living at home) and 17 grandchildren, a gathering of 10 or more happens on a daily basis. And the Duggars aren't the only ones in that situation. We have plenty of readers with eight or more children.

They sure are crazy times we're living in! Thankfully, we can rejoice that God is still on the throne and still in control.

Derick Turns 31

Wishing Derick Dillard a happy 31st birthday! We apologize for not putting together a collage of pictures like we usually do for Duggar birthdays. It has been a busy week for us, but we do want to share this sweet photo of Jill and Derick, taken on a recent date night.

Jason and James Serve in TN

Last Tuesday, Nashville and Middle Tennessee were hit with a destructive tornado system that killed at least 24 and caused widespread devastation. Following the storm, Jason Duggar and James Duggar and a group from MEDIC CORPS, which included Lawson Bates and Nathan Bates, headed to Putnam County to serve. Using heavy equipment, the crew has been hard at work doing cleanup and recovery. In addition, they have also helped homeowners locate pets and important documents.

Josh's Birthday Bash

In celebration of Josh's 32nd birthday, his parents threw a little family party for him at their house. On another day, a group of Duggars met up at a bowling alley.
