Jed and Katey are expecting TWIN GIRLS!!*

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.

[thefundiemuseum]

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.

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)

I’m glad you know who all the babies are because I ain’t got a clue

It took me a while. I was staring at Bella for ages like “who is that?” and wondered if I’d got Addie and Grace mixed up but got there in the end. it’s taken a lot of practice. I have a lot of random fundie knowledge in my head and it’s so weird. I couldn’t remember the time of my doctor’s appointment the other day but can easily remember that Jill was born on 17th May 1991.🤣

Happy belated Hanukkah, fundie watchers.

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!

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 ??

[countingandsnarkingon]

I looked at Jed’s instagram post and zoomed in on the ultrasound it looks to be dated 7-15-24 and I *think* it says 15 weeks, if it does then she’d be due the first week and a half of January. Maybe the girls will share a birthday with their dad and uncle (December 30th)

Siren Baby #4?

A few months ago, folks started speculating that Lauren (Swanson) Duggar appeared pregnant in the videos from Jason's wedding. Personally, I couldn't find any clear shots of her, certainly nothing to suggest she was pregnant.

But Lauren has been spotted again in Jinger's vlog, with a pretty clear baby bump.

I feel weird posting any images because of Josiah + Lauren's desire to stay off socials, but you can find it yourselves pretty easily on Reddit or FJ.

It's a shame Fern, Frederick, and Felicity are already used--all of them seem like names Lauren would like. Without doing a full deep dive into baby name trends, I'm gonna hazard a guess that this next baby will be Felix or Frankie.

2025 will definitely see a bunch of grandDuggars.

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.
