Upcoming Babies Five

[teachergirl]

yea she does....it just surprises me with how intense law school is and how much stephen doesn't seem into her. you have to wonder how long he will keep up the QF charade....

[hoipolloi]

She certainly looks pregnant to me. It could be bad posture, but I'd bet baby.

Law school or not, they have a quiver to fill.

#3 is over a year old so not improbable.

Looks like Stephen has a summer clerkship in DC or something -- wonder who or what firm it's with.

I don't think she looks pregnant. 

So, I know Stephen's mode of courting was....questionable. What I don't understand is the idea that he doesn't seem very into her. We're going on a few Facebook profiles? Has he written something somewhere? What am I missing? If we're going on looks alone, they look like a happy little family.

we had a discussion on them somewhere on here....some of us and (this is just our opinons based on zero FACTS:) believe that Meredith and the children are just pawns in his game to move up politically and in his career.  He never really is looking at her in photos and she spent a lot of time at her parents house this year.  Stephen is a strange bird with the path he has taken with her.  At any rate, my own thoughts are that at some point as he moves up, this fundie, SAHD, QF, homeschooling act will wear off and he will want someone more on his level. Just my thoughts. Hope she isn't pregnant again,

the Mueller blog has a ton of pictures of Timothy Waller - what a cutie!

There's a lot of pics for Daniel's birth, but one draws my attention. Don't you think Melanie is pregnant? Her last is 2 years old.... I hope for her a good pregnancy, and a good delivery, but, if I remember well,  it's not her specialty.

Looks like Mia Morton will arrive today. Per IG, Kennedy is laboring.

I hate seeing any children born into these families - but especially girls.  I hope for her own sake that she is not a questioner or a thinker - because life as a Morton girl will not be easy if she is.

62 hours of labor, ended up getting a c- section. Mia looks chubby and very cute.

I'm glad that they are both safe and healthy, and that they had access to medical intervention when it was so clearly needed. I'm not sure if Kennedy ever even wanted a homebirth, but to my knowledge, this is the first cesarean in Mortonland.

It won't stop her being knocked up again within months.  Recovery? Who needs it?

[teachergirl]

I was thinking the same sentiment about poor Kennedy...These poor young women, barely out of their teens, "submitting" to their teenage husbands and really their crazy extended family.  I really hope because there are so many extended family members around that she gets extra help.  What makes me sad is down the road, when she has 8/9 will she have help then? Glad she and the baby are fine.  I am certain one of these days a Morton/Smith/Lane baby or mama will not be.

Any news about Melissa Niednagel yet? Her due date was July 4th. Lovely Jordanyo wrote that he wished the newest blessing wouldn't arrive that day since it is their wedding anniversary and he likes "celebrations spread apart". Well Mr. Smart Ass, then why did you get married on the Fourth of July in the first place? 

[Sydney Fox]

I keep checking Facebook to see if there's any Niednagel news. Jordan hasn't updated the blog either. Do you think he's waiting for the baby to be born before he does this month's blog post?

I keep checking too! He just updated the blog and he mentions at the end of the blog post no baby yet. If I remember correctly, she was due on the 4th, so over a week late now.

Her mom just painted Melissa's toenails. No baby yet. How long overdue will her midwives let her go?

I think two weeks is the most many will allow. Midwives can strip membranes and recommend doing things like brisk walks and sex in order to get things going. But by 42 weeks the placenta starts breaking down, fluid can get low, and the baby continues to grow so it's best to try and get the baby out once you're two weeks overdue. So I guess she could go until July 18th.

In my experience, most doctors won't let you go a week past now a days, but I think 2 weeks is the absolute max.  And one good thing, is that her midwife is part of a practice that does have a MD on staff.  Since its a new practice, since Marian was born and it has a birthing center, it'll be interesting to see if she has the baby at home or at the birthing center.

My OBGYN allowed 10 days as long as nothing was going wrong. But I know the midwives around here allowed 2 weeks. I would never go 2 weeks. 3 days past due was awful enough!

I just see that Alison Kendall (John-Everett Kendall's wife) is pregnant with her fourth child. She published a sonogram-pic on her FB with other pics of her children.

[picklepizzas]

Did Elizabeth Johnston just have her 10th? I see that she posted a pic of herself with an infant in June, and her fb profile says she is the mother of 10, even though I count 9 in her cover photo.

Still no Niednagel baby. Jordan posted an update last night with a pic of Melissa trimming hedges

 

Cracking up at James McDonald's comment and Jordan's response back

Melissa and Jordan Neidnagel's fourth is finally here: Jonas Archer per their Instagram. He is a cutie!

 

[DomWackTroll]

Ha ha, you beat me to it, @Blanket Trained! 

Actually, Jordan, this feminist thinks your post is funny and cute. We’re not really such humorless monsters, you know…

Congrats on the birth of Jonas Archer!
