Jim and Bobye Holt Had A Baby....

[FJismyheadship]

I thought it was another grandbaby at first. They are in that "season of life" Nope, its apparently the youngest Holt sibling. Someone remind me of how many children they have and how old the second youngest is?

[halcionne]

Kaeleigh, 27 (married, 2 kids)
Steffan, 25 (married, 1 kid)
Kristian, 24
Karessa, 22
Kearah, 17
Spencer, 15
Samuel, 13
Silas, 11
Kharis, 8
Seth, 4
Scottlen, newborn

The girls have K names; boys have S names. Bobye is 46, and it seems that Venessa Giron was her midwife.

Scottlen? Really?

Ok so she isn't as old as I thought she was, but still. Four years since the last one, your oldest is 27, you have three grandbabies can't you call it quits?

Maybe this is why Jim Bob and Michelle are "looking into adoption"

That comment from the person who didn't even know she was pregnant intrigues me. Has anyone seen Bobye and/or her unmarried daughters lately? Because I'm pretty sure I saw this on SVU...

I've been looking back at her IG and she's not in many photos. I think she's on the left in this one, taken 9 weeks ago:

10 weeks ago, she mentioned her pregnancy on Sierra Dominguez's insta. I'm looking through her FB now, but even though she makes lots of comments, I don't see any other pregnancy talk, which is odd since Kaleigh had a baby in September. I mean, she posted about that, but I would expect her to throw in chat about her own fetus and I'm not seeing it yet.

not familiar with this family but i'm intrigued by the 5 year gap between kareah and karessa- are we looking at another reversal baby situation?

I don't know, but I wondered the same thing. Jim Holt is a friend of Jim Bob Duggar's, going back to high school, I believe. He's the political friend who supposedly muttered "sin in the camp" after a lost campaign, but that's been hashed over many times on Free Jinger already. 

Karessa was born in 1993 and Kearah in 1998. I was about to wonder if the Holts fell down the rabbit hole when the Duggars did, but the timing isn't right.

[Catey]

Can someone tell me what their connection is the the Church of Wells???

I see a friend of Jim's talking about it on their FB

[FJismyheadship]

I noticed the same thing. There were a couple of people who were all "Wow! You were pregnant!?"

So I went back on Facebook and all was quiet on the pregnancy front.

[Dandruff]

Am picturing Michelle huddled up in a corner clutching a "lifelike" baby doll.

I'm looking back over her IG photos and stuff, and the silence is deafening. She even posted 2 of her daughters' sonograms when she would have been pregnant at the same time, and mentioned NOTHING, even among the comments about how young she is to be a grandmother. Very strange.

I could never imagine a fundie who wouldn't announce as soon as the pee stick was dry, especially in a situation like this.

[FJismyheadship]

There's one odd comment from someone who said they tried calling Jim but it went straight to voicemail so she figured "someone was having a baby"

That person didn't sound as enthused as everyone else. Just more like "Oh okay, that's why he didn't answer"

Considering the last one pregnant had her child in September....

It is weird, but there's a comment from her on Instagram saying "Yeah, at my age, we didn't make a public announcement until he was here.". So maybe they were just playing it safe. Really, really safe...

I've known about this pregnancy for a while since I think it's been discussed here before.

I'm looking through her facebook and mostly just seeing lots of complaining about Muslims and transgender people.

Edit: Anyone else find this comment about their daughter's wedding kind of creepy?

" 3 years ago today, I got to see my 1st baby girl in her wedding dress, walk her down the isle, unite her in marriage to the man of her dreams and witness (up close ) her 1st ever romantic kiss. What a beautiful day it was! "

It's the part about witnessing her first kiss up close that sounds especially weird to me.

Edit2: a comment about Josh Duggar:

" He edited his response and took out the porn statement and just out right claimed to be unfaithful. I'm glad he did because I thought it was parsing words and not fully making the admission. But now he has. It is all very very sad and I feel for Anna so much! We still LOVE Josh but something needs to seriously bring this boy to his knees. "

Weird isn't even the word for it.  What the fuck is wrong with these people???

Danica did, or wait he brought her to her knee's or was it they were both on their knee's? No prayer involved.

[Rachel333]

Here's a video of three of the girls singing a secular song and wearing pants: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KN0Y8VQrmE&feature=youtu.be

And yet it's pretty obvious they're definitely fundies.

(I just think it's weird that people assume Lawson Bates is no longer fundie because he sings some secular songs.)

Just no. The "up close" makes me think they kissed at the altar, with Dad (or Mum - whoever made the comment) peering in as close as they could get. All of which makes me feel somewhat ill. And creeped out. Ewww.

And it's AISLE you stupid fundy idiots. Unless the wedding was on a beach and you walked her down the length of the island.

[Rachel333]

Haha, I didn't even notice the "isle" mistake.

Scott-Lynn? Scotland? This name confuses and frightens me.

Maybe named by a 17 year old who thought it was cute and tryndy?

[Dandruff]

Spurgeon, Scottlen....is there a contest going on?

[Guest]

If there is, Spurgeon still, ah...wins. Poor baby.

And I heard a loud noise a little while ago, must have been Michelle's head exploding.  

[OodOnTheLoo]

Right?  Scottlen will easily become Scott.  Sturgeon will easily become.... Spurge, purge, sponge bob...

sorry michelle, God loves bobye more.
