Jed and Katey are expecting TWIN GIRLS!!*

*the capitals are my shock not my excitement at Jed Duggar of all people having Twin Daughters

[thefundiemuseum]

Well, there go all my theories about Claire having a secret baby.

Maybe JB is just bad at math, and there is no mystery baby 29.

[thefundiedata]

Where we're standing rn, does it look like the Duggars or Bateses will have more grands?

Good question! In doing this data, I've assumed Michael, Alyssa, Anna and Jinger will have no more children. I'm still predicting for Justin as we've had no word either way from him.

Short answer - The Bates will have more.

Longer answer with numbers below:

The Bates Zach & Whitney - 8 children Michael & Brandon - 0 children Erin & Chad - 11 children Lawson & Tiffany - 4 children Nathan & Esther - 7 children Alyssa & John - 5 children Tori & Bobby - 12 children Trace & Lydia - 11 children Carlin & Evan - 7 children Josie & Kelton - 9 children Katie & Travis - 10 children Jack & Emy - 5 children Warden - 8 children Isaiah & Sarah - 8 children Addallee, Ellie & Callie - 9 children each Jud & Jeb - 8 children each

Bates Total: 148 GrandBates

The Duggars J*** & Anna - 7 children John & Abbie - 4 children Jana & Stephen - 4 children Jill & Derick - 7 children Jessa & Ben - 9 children Jinger & Jeremy - 2 children Joe & Kendra - 12 children Josiah & Lauren - 11 children Joy & Austin - 8 children Jed & Kate - 10 children Jer & Hannah - 10 children Jason & Maddie - 8 children James - 6 children Justin & Claire - 3 children Jackson - 8 children Johannah, Jennifer, Jordyn & Josie - 8 children each

Duggar Total: 141 GrandDuggars

Jana getting married hasn't actually helped the Duggars at all. Jana getting married late pushed the age of courtship up, which has knocked off one additional GrandDuggar from each of the youngest girls and the Duggars have ended up even to where they were before the marriage. How bizarre. (Though even with the additional four GrandDuggars, they'd be behind)

God, my heart goes out to them. Ugh.

But the 29th grandDuggar mystery continues. Thanks for doing the math and timeline trying to sort that out.

Jessa Lost A Pregnancy.

Recently, Jessa posted a video on her YouTube, revealing that she’d been pregnant, but lost the pregnancy just before the holidays. Ultrasound images shared during the video reveal that she and Ben learned of the loss, which she called a “missed miscarriage,” on December 22, 2022, at 11 Weeks, 6 Days Along. Her Due Date was July 7, 2023. (So, no, this isn’t the elusive 29th GrandDuggar.)

According to the video, Jessa experienced a bit of spotting and went in for an ultrasound to check on the baby. During the ultrasound, the technician told them that “the sac looks good, but the baby does not.” Jessa did not elaborate on what was wrong. Since the miscarriage hadn’t begun naturally, she considered taking drugs to induce the miscarriage, but decided against it due to her history of hemorrhaging post–birth. She opted for a D&C instead, and seemingly had the procedure the same day (or very shortly after).

Data analysis to follow.

Duggar Predictions 2023

Jim Bob and Michelle - I don't think his weight loss journey will be as easy as he expects it to be, it's rarely smooth sailing and I speak from experience.

Josh and Anna - Returns to social media once all appeals are exhausted. Continues quietly visiting Josh.

Jana - Whispers of a courtship but she's just happy with her plants.

John and Abbie - We find out Charlie's full name and birthday so I can fill in a blank on my spreadsheet.

Jill and Derick - I don't expect #4 to be too far behind Frederick and I think we will have an announcement around Christmas. Israel and Samuel return to school next academic year.

Jessa and Ben - Another baby, Jessa gives birth in odd years. I think it will be a boy this time. Normal first name, weird middle name.

Jinger and Jeremy - Book is boring with little new information. Have baby #3, a girl.

Joe and Kendra - Another baby (#5), obvs. #4's name is revealed via a sex prediction board, an Instagram comment, someone calling his (yes I am still convinced it's a boy) name or something along those lines. Remain quiet on social media. House move if they haven't moved already.

Josiah and Lauren - Nothing. No baby #3 and are quiet on socials.

Joy and Austin - Baby Something James is born healthy and vaginally.

Jed and Katey - Nora born in May and another baby baking by the end of the year.

Jer and Hannah - If the birth went well (no c-section etc) then I expect her to fall pregnant again as quickly as Katey did. Move into Joe and Kendra's old house.

Jason - Announces a courtship and engagement. Snarkers lose their shit about there now being two Duggar in-laws with the same first name.

James - Announces a courtship. Tries to get his Youtube career to take off.

Justin and Claire - Announce pregnancy #1, a girl, or that they had the baby (GrandDuggar #29) some time ago and have been keeping it a secret.

Jackson-Josie - Nothing

Baby Forsyth Full Name Reveal

Hey all, it’s been a bit. I have been keeping up with everything, but have not had a chance to sit down and post. A lot has happened so keep your eyes open the next few days. 

Meet Evelyn Mae Forsyth!

Joy and Austin know how to name! I was nowhere close with my predictions, but it is a stunning name nonetheless. Gideon and Evelyn is an adorable sibset and gives them a loose pattern of names ending in -n and middles starting with M. Who knows what they’ll pick in the future!

Fundie Happenings in 2024 Q3

I've been in and out of fundieland for several months, so this post is mostly for my own benefit. Please let me know what all I've missed, and I'll update the post accordingly.

Here's what's happened in July-Sep of 2024.

Duggar Family

Jana Duggar marries Stephen Wissmann! After years of speculation and hints, the theories are confirmed. Jana and Stephen dated for a time, broke up, and got back together. Jana seems so happy, and I'm genuinely thrilled for her.

Jedidiah + Katey announce that she is pregnant again--and she's going to have the first set of Grandduggar twins. Given the way twins work, this is just an interesting coincidence that a (male) Duggar twin is going to have twins.

Jason Duggar announces that he's dating a girl named Maddie Jones. They get engaged on August 24. They might be getting married next month, but that remains to be confirmed.

Bates Family

Lawson + Tiffany welcome their first child, William Daniel Bates. He is a rainbow baby.

Nathan + Esther are awaiting their second child, a son.

Katie + Travis are awaiting welcome their second child, Harvey Gray. (Just in time to make Q3! Harvey was born on 9/29, and Katie posted about it late on 9/30.)

Rodrigues Family

Nurie + Nathan welcome Naomi Christine, Jill's first granddaughter. Nurie is seen serving in church service when she is freshly postpartum, and this is treated (by Jill) as evidence of Nurie's servant's heart and not an insult to a woman recovering from childbirth.

Timothy Rodrigues and Heidi Coverett get married, and Jill has some online beef with the Coveretts. I wish the newlyweds all the best, and I pray that Tim gets more distance from his mother.

Phillip Rodrigues seems to be in trouble. Jill asks for prayer for him, he posts some cryptic poetry, and he gets photoshopped into the family photo at the wedding.

Samuel Rodrigues is courting Brianne Hessert. Folks on the internet track down a video that may be Brianne saying homophobic vitriol to her rather open-minded father. If this really is her, she will fit right in with the Rodrigues clan.

Other Fundie Families

David + Priscilla (Keller) Waller welcome their seventh child, Desiree Hope. This answers the question about their baby name theme--girls get D names, and boys get P names.

Jeremiah + Allison (Bontrager) Helferich welcome their third child, Amelia Marie.

Mark + Sierra Dominguez welcome their eighth child, Briggs Maverick.

Isaac + Arti Anderson welcome their first child, Dietrich Johannes. This is the Andersons' first grandchild.

Miriam Anderson, the fourth child of Steven + Zsuzsanna, speaks out against her parents for their abuse.

Conspiracy time

There are 12 grandchildren. Jessa is pregnant with 13. Kendra with 14 ... so who is pregnant with 15? Or is that Kendra too?? Is it a typo or did they just reveal someone else is pregnant ??

[thefundiedata]

By data alone, can we surmise the first baby boom that the grandduggars will join in? And will the OG Jeneration still be popping them out? Kinda like Michelle and Anna/ Kendra and Christina Caldwell

Duggar girls are currently predicted to have their first baby just before their 24th birthday. Duggar boys are predicted to have their first baby just before their 25th birthday. I'll use that just to do some rough dates as I haven't done data on the GrandDuggars.

Using that logic, no Duggar couple is expected to have a final child after they have a grandchild. The only potential exception is Lauren & Bella Duggar depending on how old Lauren's mother was when she had her final baby - as I don't have a definite age cut off for Lauren without that data. That might just tip her into having a baby after Bella's hypothetical first - just like her own mother did with her and her much younger siblings.

Josie Bates is definitely predicted to have her last child after her first grandchild, though.
