What happend and didn't in december

A overview of what happend and didn't happen (but I did predict would happen) in the last month of 2022.

We found out from the Duggar christmas video that baby Duggar-Swanson #2 is probably a girl named Daisy

Chad&Erin Paine moved to Florida with their children

[fundiepredictions]

Ruth&Ryan

Ruth&Ryan Bourlier (Wissmann) had their 5th child, Chloe, on december 12th. Finaly a girl after four boys. Since I don't think they were only trying for a girl, let's start predicting when they will announce #6.

When we look at the data she will have #6 spring 2024 and announcing about a year from now. But there are a few things to consider. First her age, Ruth is now 39 years old. Her mother had her last child at 48 but those last few children came with pretty big spacings. While she had her first children only a bit slower then Ruth had hers. So it could very well be that Ruth might not be as fast with the next one. Next to consider is that her spacings are indeed somewhat slower. So I think it's safe to assume we have to add something to the data. And at last, she announced her latest pregnancy pretty late. She announced in october, only two months away from her due date.

Considering all this, I think Ruth will announce her next pregnancy in may 2024. What do you think?

Chloe Ann Bourlier

I predicted that Ruth would deliver her 5th baby, a boy, named Marcus, on december 26th. Well she didn't. She gave birth to a girl, named Chloe Ann, on december 12th. So I was totally wrong.

I will later write a new prediction for Ruth&Ryan, first let's look at the lists.

Ruth

Before Chloe was born Ruth stood on place #9, 4 places behind for her age. Because none of the people with 4 children and expecting a 5th had their 5th before Ruth, nothing changes. She is still in 9th place, still 4 places behind for her age.

Ryan

Before Chloe was born Ryan stood also on place #9, 3 places behind for his age. Because of the same reason with Ruth, nothing changes for Ryan either. So he is also still in 9th place, still 3 places behind for his age.

My thoughts

Ruth&Ryan are in a place in the list that not really changes much. There aren't so many people with 4 children and expecting. (Only Alyssa Webster at the moment) And they are now one of the only 3 couple's who have 5 children, Bethany&Dan Beasley (Wissmann) and Chad&Erin Paine (Bates).

I do think Ruth&Ryan are doing pretty good in the list considering they got married pretty late in life (for a fundie). It will be interesting to see if they will have a #6 down the road and if they can become 'normal' for their age.
