The fact that she thinks anyone outside of her tent revivals understands what this title means really shows how much she lives in a bubble to me.

Also reminder that the top 4 practicing religions in Hungary are all some flavor of Christianity so like. Don't know who Phillip is trying to convert over there but maybe it's just an excuse to get out of Ohio.

[pundamentalism]

He's going to be a literal burden on the people of Hungary. F missionaries 🤬

[fundiementalist]

I will most certainly try to locate him of he comes here. I cannot for the life of me think of any place he can be a "missionary" here, other than maybe within a Baptist community.

Well what do we have here? A pregnant Duggar? Looks like Joy is possibly pregnant with GrandDuggar 28 (if Lauren and Kendra have indeed given birth recently). I have suspected for weeks. Looks like a major life/website update is due from the Duggars.

Taken from Facebook as I don’t follow Gabby. I thought Joy also looked pregnant in Jed’s video tonight.

[fundiementalist]

If this turns out to be true, then Gabby would be on a roll spilling the beans on baby news this year. First Esther, then Abbie...and now probably Joy?

Carlin gave a little health update on her stories a few hours ago:

- She's waiting to do an in-home EEG in a few weeks

- Her doctor has put her on an anti-seizure medication to try in the meantime which takes a few days to regulate, so she's feeling very lethargic and drugged currently.

- She says she thinks the medication is helping a little bit though, she feels it might be preventing her bigger seizures but she still has 'episodes' every day. She also has bad headaches and she can't tell if it's due to the medication or just the seizures in general.

- They still don't have any big answers as to why it's happening to her or what's causing it. They think it could've been something underlying that was triggered by Zade's delivery.

- Today was a good day where she didn't feel very fatigued. She's going to have to go back off of the seizure medication before her EEG which scares her because she doesn't want the bigger episodes to start back up again.

She legitimately seems so exhausted but still positive! I really hope she gets some answers soon.

Josh Duggar was just sentenced to 12.5 years in prison.

[fundamental-cactus]

12y7m. May he rot away in there.

Just think, he won’t be done his sentence until Fall 2034. Bliss.

[duggardata]

Big News from John + Abbie, also! She’s apparently due in “late summer.”

[fundiebabynamebible]

Is this the first Bates Mothers Day pregnancy announcement?

[fundiementalist]

Not really surprised thanks to that shirt slip up but congrats anyway

[countingandsnarkingon]

Baby Jed Jr. Is here

[themduggars]

Never would've guessed that name

[fundiementalist]

I don't know if I think it's better or worse than Spurgeon

[spurgie-cousin]

Had to share bc I just thought it was so cute that Everly's hamster was just chilling on her head while she built her a house 🥺🥺

[fortheloveofallthatsfundie]

stop it that’s adorable

[spurgie-cousin]

I'll also props to Nurie for the safe sleep set up. After the lack of car seat o was concerned

Same! Hopefully the car thing was just a one-off.

[obsessedwithduggars]

*definitely not defending because car seat safety is very important* but I wonder if they were just riding down their road or something? I’m from a small rural town where people live on the same street as family and will not buckle the baby into their car seat for a 30 second drive, I’m just wondering if that was what was happening and what their thought process was on this lol. I don’t agree that you should do that anyways, babies should always be buckled into a car seat safely no matter the distance.

[spurgie-cousin]

That’s what I was thinking too

[fundamental-cactus]

I buckle my kid in when we attach his carseat to his stroller. I can’t imagine forgetting/choosing not to buckle when driving.

[spurgie-cousin]

I get that but not everyone necessarily understands the same things as moms who have access to mommy groups and online resources do. I feel like there is this weird mom-shaming thing that happens in these instances where it’s almost insinuated that moms who do what Nurie did just don’t care about their kids lives? Which I think is rarely the case they just don’t see it as dangerous as it is, whether it’s lack of education, miseducation, or whatever.

[obsessedwithduggars]

Definitely an education thing! Some people grew up where this (driving down the road with your baby unbuckled) was the norm and if they aren’t educated on the subject they truly won’t know any better and won’t see how dangerous it is. Hopefully after that ticket they will educate themselves or someone else will educate them.

[fundiesarefunny]

Would agree - although I have seen moms in my mom group take the car seat advice badly. That’s when it becomes concerning!

[obsessedwithduggars]

^^^ I’ve noticed that if anything is called out as unsafe, even if you are trying to gently educate them with factual information on why it is unsafe, it is considered mom shaming. I get it, moms don’t want to be told they’re doing something wrong or putting their babies in danger, but sometimes you have to take the advice, especially when it comes to safety, with grace. Car seat safety is definitely one of those things that isn’t a mother’s choice, it can be the difference between life and death.

[fundiementalist]

My mom and grandma both said in separate situations when my baby was crying in the car to unbuckle her and take her out of the carseat. Their reasoning was either that in their time they didn't have one and both kids were alright (grandma) or we are driving slow and are nearly home (Mom). I had to argue with them for minutes that I won't consider taking her out until the car stopped and I am there and trying to console her, she's going to be alright.

Jill exciting Dillard #3*, due in July!

Claire has been dieting since Age 9… From Claire (Spivey) Duggar’s IG Story (January 24, 2022).

[duggarsetal]

Oh my god, that's one of the saddest things I've ever heard

[fundiementalist]

I'm speechless...

[spurgie-cousin]

Feels relevant. Also I'm JaeLynn Leigh.

Finley Marie is here

[fundiebabynamebible]

It's a boy for Jed and Katey

I think Lauren is pregnant. It was clearer from a different angle but I couldn't get a clear shot.

[pundamentalism]

I agree, when she faced the camera briefly it looked pretty suspicious. I'm betting she's further along than Katey too if she is in fact pregnant. Good for her for maintaining her privacy and getting her family to also.

[19fundiesandcounting]

Yeah, I definitely think she’s pregnant. We’ll probably get confirmation at Jeremiah & Hannah’s wedding.

[undercoverduggarblog]

next time can we just ask michaela a bunch of questions about her business or something
