Not at all surprised by this . Is anyone?
ReplyDeleteUnless they prevent it, it's going to happen over and over like clockwork. Maybe Jessa is hoping her parents will swap houses with her?
DeleteAnd I think its wonderful news!
DeleteNot surprised by the not surprised comment
DeleteCongrats to the Seewalds, they have the cutest kiddos.
ReplyDeleteWhen is her due date.
ReplyDeleteShe said she was half way to holding the baby so probably August...just a guess.
Delete20 weeks from March 7 would make her due on July 25. Jim Bob & Fern share their birthday on the 18th & Felicity was born on the 19th. Someone may end up with a new birthday buddy!
DeleteShe hasn't announced it
DeleteDon't worry, we'll know the date. Jeremy will post a bunch of pictures of his heir, wearing all sorts of outfits. Michelle will be in the labor room. Sister-aunts will be swarming to take care of the kids. No Duggar birth goes unannounced.
DeleteCongrats! Can't wait to see the gender and name. Jessa and Ben have well be-have children.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to see a more up to date banner photo.
ReplyDeleteNeed an up dated photo chart with weddings babies plus birthdays and anniversary chart -
ReplyDeleteI'd also love to see all of this updated. :)
DeleteRight on cue. Sounds like the baby will arrive toward the end of July.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it will be on July 29th, my birthday.
DeleteAwesome news!!! Congratulations to the family! 💗
ReplyDeleteIsn't she one of the sisters who said she wanted to adopt?
ReplyDeleteHaving a family member convicted of a crime against children and all that negative publicity, along with the family's involvement with what some consider a questionable religious organization could make adoption difficult. They also have income requirements and in some states want children to have their own rooms.
DeletePoor Ivy!
ReplyDelete1:18 Yes indeed..Poor Ivy!
DeleteI hope they have another girl then they would have 3 girls and 3 boys.
ReplyDeleteHope they have a boy, it will give George a brother to play boy things with instead being smack in the middle of girls.
DeleteI can only imagine how Spurgeon feels. He's old enough to understand that he will not be getting much attention, just as he's about to transition to pre-teen. The youngest one is still pretty much a baby and will probably be fussy from frustration, since he can't verbalize his feelings. The middle kids will just form a gang and become free range. This isn't good parenting, it's collecting kids (in a small house). It's exactly what Jessa's parents did, and you all saw how that turned out.
ReplyDeleteSo you just came here to find something to criticise,Jessa will give all her kids individual attention like her parents did with them,just because the family got one bad apple you can't put down the whole family,I know many families that have a blacksheep, including my own,these things can happen, when one rebels and doesn't follow the parents teaching, and it can be stressful for the family, I actually pity the family for what they went through, but I guess you're not an empathic person
Delete6:08 wow, you are sure negative..you either don’t want children or your children have become delinquent. Being number five of six kids..it’s fun to have siblings, if they are raised to love and enjoy on another. I’m sure your dark predictions of fussy babies, kids forming a gang, leading to not expressing their feeling will never happen in this functional, loving family. Perhaps seeking counseling will help you overcome some unhappy feelings of past disappointments you are dealing with.
Delete6:08 I know someone from a family of 7 kids, each about 2 years apart, and that is exactly what happened! Even as adults, there is that pattern. The oldest has a chip on their shoulder for sure against the rest of the family. The youngest still acts like the baby. The middles raised themselves, with the oldest trying to boss them, and have ganged up. The dynamics of large families. It's textbook.
DeleteI think there is a big difference between six and nineteen. Jessa and Ben, I believe are more aware of the emotional needs of their children and will make sure "all" their needs are met. They aren't involved in IBLP and seem much more evolved while maintaining a conservative lifestyle.
DeleteWell congratulations. A new little one is always exciting.
ReplyDeleteI assume this will be Jessa’s last baby. She already has five children as of now: three boys and two girls which means she would have to have another girl in order to have three of each. If Jessa is already halfway through her pregnancy, it means she got pregnant in late October or early November which means her due date should be sometime in late July or early August.
ReplyDeleteWhat leads you to believe Jessa won't have any more children after this one? I'd say she will continue to have more as that's what this family does.
DeleteCurious as to why you assume it will be her last child?
DeleteWhy would you assume anything? SMH.
DeleteLast baby? LOLOLOL
DeleteDoes this make 4 more grandchildren for Jim Bob & Michelle this year? (Lauren, Jinger, Hannah, Jessa, not necessarily in that order) Congratulations to everyone!
ReplyDeleteSpeculation going around that Jase and Mrs. Jase are possibly on the nest...
DeleteI didn't know Lauren was pregnant. She and Josiah sure have dropped out of sight.
DeleteWow, another blessing, congratulations. Your kids are the cutest and best behaved, good parenting.
ReplyDeleteBest behaved? The videos she used to post didn't demonstrate that.
DeleteWow. A bumper crop of Duggar babies this year. Is Jana pregnant?
ReplyDelete@10:33 It sure looks that way in a recent picture. Face has changed, dress is very loose.
DeleteNo announcement yet, would anyone be shocked if she chose not to have children....I wouldn't. If she chooses to have kids I think she will only have two.
DeleteCongratulations to Jessa & Ben!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Seewald family. Prayers for a healthy baby and mom.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you both. Another addition to your beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you all.
WOOOOOW 6!!!!! JESSA, CAN U BELIEVE IT, U N BEN TOGETHER FOR 11 YEARS, AND 6 BABIES!!!!!! U N BEN , ARE THE BEST DUGGAR MARRIAGE GOING!!!!! SINCE, FOREVER U 2 ARE MY FAVE COUPLE #1!!!!! JESSA PLEASE TAKE CARE OF U!!!!!! PUT YOUR FEET UP, AND I, LOVE U R
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you Seewald Fam! I’m sure all the big siblings are so excited.
ReplyDeleteNot sure why everyone is acting like this is announcement of child 15 or something. 6 kids is a big family for sure but not outlandish or super atypical at all.
well we knew this was coming, every two years like clockwork. That being said, congratulations, he or she will be another beautiful baby.
