Have you heard the latest Duggar news? Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo are having a baby girl! They announced the news to family and friends (Jinger's family traveled down from Arkansas) during a gender reveal party at their home in Laredo, Texas. The guests went through an obstacle course, which ended with a neon sign.
When the course was completed, the sign was lit up in pink.

Friends of Jinger and Jeremy also surprised them with a shower for their daughter.

Oh no, not the belly hold. I thought Jinger was better than that.
ReplyDeleteMost pregnant women occasionally hold their bellies.....”better than that”.....rude
DeleteWhat do you mean “better than that”? Where do you want her hands to be, on her head? Literally all moms take pictures showing how far along they are, no need to be critical.
DeleteYou must be the one or one of the ones who always hurry to be first to post a negative comment in the hopes of getting many equally negative responders. I noticed this same commenter on Ellie's own website too.its sad because what the world needs is more love and peace and life is a lot more enjoyable when you think positive each new day! 😊
DeleteThat proves even the best of us will hold our belly when pregnant...Jane
DeleteWhaaaat????
DeleteI know. I was disappointed by that too.
DeleteEveryone does the belly hold. Chill🤨
DeleteWhere do you suggest she put her arms?
DeleteReally, just because you don't like the belly hold doesn't mean some of us dont!
DeleteThere are a bunch of instances where it’s very appropriate to hold your belly.
DeleteLike at your baby’s gender reveal party to take pictures
Got to draw everyone's attention there and make sure they see how big.
DeleteIt's what they do.
DeleteMary Bullard, you are wrong. I've had two children, and I never did the belly hold!
DeleteLook at old photos of pregnant women. The "belly hold" was probably started by Demi Moore on the cover of Vanity Fair and has only intensified in the Instagram/selfie age. Not exactly modest.
DeleteIt never occurred to me to hold my pregnant belly.
DeleteI know, 9:19. The last thing I wanted to do was draw attention to how big I was or make my tummy look bigger. It was nobody's business how big my body was getting!
DeleteI always held my belly as a part of being a mother who loved her children. I also talked to them. Encouraged my husband to sing to them and talk to them. We also put our hands on my belly and prayed for them. This proved a big blessing when I had a tubal pregnancy. The hospital was insistent that I needed an abortion (DNC) but The Lord spoke to me and said, "You didn't ask me to move that baby. " I told my husband what The Lord said and we both prayed together and asked Him to move her to the right place, and within 24 hours, He did. I saw the ultrasound pictures showing her in the tube before we prayed. And she was already way bigger than the tube. Now, she is a precious 18 year old blessing! So, enough of this disconnect from the precious blessings in our womb, ladies! Let's touch them, talk to them, hold them as much as possible, sing to them, and pray for them! They need to be loved,appreciated, and celebrated from the very beginning! Lord, please help us when the world has such disconnected, unappreciative, controlling, and rude women!
DeleteThe guests had to go through an obstacle course? Was this a gender reveal party or a fraternity initiation?
ReplyDeleteFrats do not have obstacle courses for initiation.
DeleteOh, please. It's just a way to have fun with the reveal and get the whole family involved.
DeleteMost frat initiations would be much more interested in alcohol rather than a kiddy obstacle course lol. Btw, this is 2018 not 1970.
DeleteIts a party. You do fun stuff at parties. Like going through obstacle courses.
DeleteHahaha, do you think you’re funny🤪
DeleteIf this is how the family chooses to reveal the gender of their babies, why does it bother you; please keep negative comments to yourself, we don’t want to see them on this site!
DeleteThese gender reveals are getting more and more elaborate and ridiculous. I'm waiting for someone to sky dive out of JD's plane with either a pink or blue parachute...
DeleteHa ha ha 12:20! That's one we haven't seen yet! You watch....it'll come!! And then you'll have the credit for giving them that idea!
DeleteThat would be awesome!
DeleteThis was a unique way to reveal the gender. I’m still in favor of finding out at the birth, but each to their own. Jinger and Jeremy are both beaming with joy, can’t wait to learn what they name her.
ReplyDeleteI'm in favor of calling your parents and then letting the news get around naturally. Used to be when the doctor held up the baby, that's when you found out if it was a boy or a girl. Dad called a few people and had a cigar, and that was that. No neon involved.
DeleteCustom neon signs are pricey.
DeleteCould be rented though.
DeleteSo what. They didn't ask you for money to pay for it, did they?
DeleteJinger looks beautiful, but she is still very young and in about 10 or 15 years is going to realize how damaging heels and wedges are to knees. Young women think their bodies will be young forever and don't understand the dangers of heels on their body - the only one they'll ever have! Girls, if you're in your 20s and rock heels daily to the office, social events, church, whatnot, heed my warning and make wearing them a rarity. (See also: put sunscreen on your face.)
ReplyDeleteIf you do proper strength training you can really strengthen all the muscles that support your knees and avoid such problems. Just can't be afraid to lift heavy....no most women do not produce the testosterone to "bulk up"
DeleteI’m 73 years old and I wore heels since I was 14 years old. I still wear them to very nice events. No knee problems, no hip problems, no back problems, no side effects at all. You don’t have to wear sandals, flip flops flats, tennis shoes or go barefooted when you’re pregnant. Chill!
DeleteLive and learn!,, if you only wear them a bit and not everyday to work,, You will be fine,, enjoy! the MOMENT
DeleteModeration!! Why so much NEGATIVITY ???
DeleteI am just starting to consider wearing more flat shoes. Unfortunately I have a foot problem and heels certainly don't help. I found out that even without heels I can look professional and feminine. S. from Holland.
DeleteThis is actually true. My grandmother tried to warn me when I was in my 20’s (of course I didn’t listen) now, I have poor circulation in my legs, feet and toes!
DeleteAgree. Heels position the foot and body in totally unnatural ways. Not so different from the practice of foot-binding!
Delete1:43 -- You're right about women wearing heels nonstop to work. I did that for at least 10 years to work every day and wish I hadn't. But wearing heels to church and on for special occasions now and then should be okay.
DeleteHeels do awful things to your metatarsal foot region! You mess up that area from wearing high heels, and there is no going back.
DeleteActually, the only shoe I put on my feet in the morning and when I come home from work at night are my heels. I believe I have a condition called plantar fasciitis and it so painful. It raises the heel of my foot because I have a high arch and it becomes inflamed and so swollen from the concrete floors I am on all day (retail mgr). So, to each their own but I am thankful for heels.
DeleteWhat is Jim Bob doing to Ben?
ReplyDeleteHe's helping spin him around.
DeleteI see Jeremy is taking a page out of Jim bobs book on holding onto your wife like she might run away. He should look to his own parents for a good example on how to stand in a family picture, his Dad has his arm around his Mom in a relaxed but loving way.
ReplyDeleteIs there anything people won’t complain about?
DeleteThey’re standing like that to show her stomach, they’ve taken plenty of pictures in normal standing positions.
DeleteNothing wrong with how they show affection. Everyone is different. What do you do, push your wife out of the way so you can be noticed, or if you’re the wife does your husband push you out of the way😂
DeleteThat’s his choice, he loves his wife! Please stop the criticism!
DeleteAnonymous 1:10 - No, the haters will complain about everything. Plus, we should probably ignore them but comments like this are so ridiculous it's hard to.
DeleteHope we see the gender reveal party on Counting On. I see the younger Duggars, Grandma Duggar and Jim Bob's sister, looks like old times...Jane
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing GMA Mary too, and Jim Bobs sister!
DeleteYay! First girl in the family!!
ReplyDeleteErrrr... what about Anna's daughters?
DeleteSorry McKenzie and Merideth are girls
DeleteJoshua and Anna Duggar have 2 girls.
DeleteExcept Mackynzie and Meredith
DeleteWe don't see or hear anything from them. And this is the first girl from a Duggar sisther so it is special.
DeleteThat is different.
DeleteDon't forget McKenzie and Merideth. Josh is a duggar just as much as Jinger is.
DeleteMcKenzie and Merideth are part of the Duggar family too! Therefore, they are granddaughters just as Jinger's daughter will be. Just because McKenzie and Merideth are not on the show does not mean they are not real granddaughters. McKenzie IS the first grandaughter.
DeleteHow creative and Fun way to reveal the baby's gender! So thrilled it's a girl!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't this family realize that the 'baby cradling" profile photos are not modest. We don't need to see how Jinger's abdomen is growing. No Bueno. Why is Jeremy adopting the 'holding the wife's arm behind her" photo pose? Can't she stand on her own?Diana Vuolo, once again, looks fabulous. Great dress. The other ladies should take note of that.
ReplyDeleteStop criticizing or don’t visit the blog
DeleteSpeak for yourself! Most of us that come to this website of Ellie's are really long time Duggar fans who certainly enjoy seeing pregnancy update pics along with any and all other pics of all Duggar's and their families! Si Bueno!👌 PS, next time just say " congrats Jeremy and jinger!", life's nicer that way.
DeleteYou really need to think before you post. The majority of that comment was far from kind and very unneeded.
DeleteWhy critique how someone else stands and where they put their arms around their own spouse? It is just unnecessary! Why can’t we just allow that everyone is different?
DeleteThe Duggars obviously think the profile photos are modest or they'd stop doing it. In the grand scheme of things, who cares?
DeleteIf you don’t have something nice to say, please stay off of the Duggar’s blog; that’s rude!!
DeleteI have looked at this family picture a dozen times. I don't see one thing wrong with this picture. It's a nice family picture of every one...Jane
DeleteLooks like you had nothing original to attribute to their excitement but had to copy what other nasties have said
DeleteI hope that sign is rented. I can't imagine buying a neon sign for a one-time gender reveal.
ReplyDeleteReally? I thought they were going to just leave it up. Or they can keep in the Duggar "warehouse" and then whoever has the next girl can use it.
DeleteI doubt they bought it to keep it.
DeleteReally?
DeleteIt may not be a one time, besides, what do you care, it’s not your money!
DeleteIt is a bit much, 4:10, for one reveal moment.
DeleteMaybe they bought it at a discount. Maybe Jinger will re-sell it later. It's not like they put a marquee on their rooftop.
DeleteThe only Duggar girl to have a girl
ReplyDeleteI see Jinger has the Duggar belly hold down pat.
ReplyDeleteIt’s not a Duggar belly hold, almost all expectant moms take pictures like that.
DeleteIt's not a Duggar thing. I've seen almost every pregnant woman I know do this!
DeleteYou mean the "pregnant mom belly hold," don't you? It's certainly not unique to the Duggars.
Delete@4:10, Have you had children of your own? If not you will likely be taking a picture holding your belly at some point in your pregnancy. I know I did with my first child,13 years ago. It's a proud momma moment! Nothing to be ashamed of.
DeleteNo, not everyone does the belly hold. I don't know anyone who ever did it.
DeleteAnd when you get to be middle-aged, you can do the belly hold again, without being pregnant! It's a miracle.
DeleteLOL!!!
Delete😃
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Jinger and Jeremy! It's time for a girl!
ReplyDeleteHere's a question for the family - Why is Tyler not on your picture header for your family blog? He is Michelle and Jim Bob's adopted son, right?
No he has not been adopted, Michelle and JB are his guardians.
DeleteI don’t think they have full rights over him, and even if they do, they’re probably giving him more privacy.
DeleteNo, he is not adopted, so that is why.
DeleteThey didn't adopt him.
DeleteThey are his legal guardians not adoptive parents and they have asked for respect for his privacy.
DeleteNo! Nephew.
DeleteThey have guardianship over Tyler. There may be some legality over posting his photo permantly on the site. Not saying that is the case, but it could be.
DeleteNot adopted. They have temporary guardianship.
DeleteYou are right, it would be wonderfull to havea picture of Tyler there as well. S. from Holland.
DeleteNot adopted, the Duggars have custody, guardanship. He is still the child of his mother. In time, his mother could get her act together and regain custody and Tyler could, when he is 14, asked to live with his mom.
DeleteNo, Tyler has not been adopted by them.
DeleteIt is a guardianship not an adoption. The hope is that Tyler will one day be able to return to his mom. So no. Not an adopted son.
DeleteI think he is their nephew
DeleteI can’t wait to find out what baby girl Vuolo’s name will be!☺️ I have a feeling it will be something modern.💝
ReplyDeleteElla Grace will be the name
Delete8:34, that’s my sisters name!
DeleteI hope they choose a beautiful italian name to go with their surname and the Vuolos heritage, Sophia or Francesca would be lovely.
Delete8:34, How do you know?
DeleteHow sweet!
ReplyDeleteTime 9:52PM
ReplyDeleteAww so sweet the family & Friends did a baby shower for Jing & Jere.
They sure do things on a grand scale. Family members coming from different states. Money is no problem obviously.
ReplyDeleteMoney, money, money. You commentators do nothing but gripe, gripe, gripe. Just because family makes a point to come to get togethers, doesn’t mean it was expensive nor does it mean they misuse money or are leaches. This family is loving, kind, considerate and do for each other. So CHILL!!!!
DeleteSome Americans waist money on alcohol and some spend it on better things like this family does!!!
DeleteThey love their family, I would do the same thing if I could afford it. God bless them.
DeleteI wonder how tlc will crop josh out of this episode
DeleteIf the event was filmed for Counting On perhaps some of the costs were covered or are tax deductible.....I know my finances are private let’s not question theirs.
DeleteMy finances are private but so is my life. I wouldn't dream of dating, giving birth, or airing my wedding on television. This family is not "private" in any sense of the word.
DeleteEven the Duggars are entitled to privacy and only have to share what they choose.
DeleteSounds like they had a fun time! I'm happy to hear they're having a girl. Can't wait to hear what her name is.
ReplyDeleteYeay! I was hoping for a girl since everyone else was having boys. :-) Congrats to the family!
ReplyDeleteSo happy she’s having a girl. Congratulations
ReplyDeleteYipee a girl cousin with all those boys
ReplyDeleteAnna has 2 daughters. They are cousins. The only ones with the Duggar name, actually.
DeleteI'm sure Josh and Anna's girls will be excited to finally have a girl cousin!
DeleteDon't forget McKenzie and Merideth.
DeleteThey are not part of the show. And the sisthers deen really close. So it is different.
Deletewow. This whole thread is either about the belly hold or how Jeremy is holding onto Jinger. who cares. Congratulations again on Baby girl Vuolo!
ReplyDeleteTo all the critics, how do you think pregnant women should dress and stand? Wear a muumuu or caftan and hide her belly as much as she can? Or maybe be confined at home like they did in the Victorian age? Jinger's dress here is not skintight or short. So merely holding a baby bump is immodest now? Even when the pic was taken at a special event focused on the baby. I doubt she poses like that all the time.
ReplyDeleteExactly!! I really dislike all the unnecessary criticism in so many of the comments
DeleteProverbs 16:7
DeletePeople criticize her for drawing attention to her belly, but a pregnant belly kinda does that all on its own anyway.
Delete@ 4:25 You don't need to press your hands under your pregnant abdomen, though, to show exactly how big your body is. We hold no other parts of our bodies to show off their size. That would not be socially acceptable.
DeleteAnon.4:25PM I love your comment, it gave me a good laugh, thank you...Jane
DeleteSo happy for them! Not sure why others feel the need to push their opinions when they aren't asked for. Insulting her Heels? Seriously? Most of us wear them and are still fine as we age.I'm 50 and have worn them 6 days a week for at least 30 years without issues. Anyways, super happy a baby girl is on the way!
ReplyDeleteIt seemed like advice more than an opinion.
DeleteHeels put the body in unnatural posture, put too pressure on the toes and ball of the feet. Every woman I knew, by her late 50s have some kind of problem, either with their backs, their knees, their ankles of their feet. Some have had to have procedures done on their feet.
DeleteSo, no it is not just an opinion but friendly well meaning advice. And it is a medical fact, there is no disputing that.I suggest you do some research.
I gave up on vanity years ago and wear only shoes I can walk in comfortably for long distances. My back and my feet, my hips and ankles are in good condition and I am near 70, unlike so many other females of my age.
@7:45. Tyler is not an adopted son but Michelle and Jim Bob's nephew on Michelle's side....but I think you made a valid point....Tyler should be included. Diana Vuolo is very attractive. Congrats on the girl everyone.
ReplyDeleteLove Jinger's classy and sophisticate maternity wardrobe! Never frumpy.
ReplyDeleteI agree! And really modest too, not tight.
DeleteSo much more modest then her sisthers
Deleteagree, that dress is adorable.
DeleteWhy does Michelle always wear black hose? Is her legs particularly bad with veins that she won't be in public without something dark on her legs?
ReplyDeletePants would solve that problem and be much cooler and more comfortable.
DeleteDoes it really matter or affect your life in any way?
DeleteIf so, hope she knows there are things she can do to get rid of the veins.
DeleteHer shoes are really different.
DeleteAnon @ 8;49, In the UK we would refer to shoes like Michelles as clod hoppers.
DeleteShe has problems with her feet.
DeleteIt was just a question 2:20. Calm down. All I've seen on some of these posts is critics being critical of the critics. There in the same boat. Be uplifting and positive. All I saw and read was a question not criticism. We all probably have had that question cross our minds before.
Deletewhy cant they just tell the gender of the baby to the family without all the palaver no need for obstacle races guns going off etc
ReplyDeleteCannot let that comment go by without giving the writer +10 points for the use of "palaver." :)
DeleteI'm pretty sure its all for the benefit of the show. If there was no show I don't think they would go tbrough all this 'plavar'!
DeleteWhy can’t they have fun? Why do you care? They can do what they choose too just like you can make your own choices. Obviously they are being filmed for next season. Why not make things a party and make it enjoyable for the little kids as well as the adults?
DeleteAnon @ 12:14 I'm in the UK where we used this word quite a lot, its one of my favourites, does it get used in the US much?
DeleteAnd why can't they have some fun with the announcement?
DeleteWow, people, whoever put a negative comment on here better check their heart for jealousy, because sorry, there is just no good reason to be negative about this post.
ReplyDeleteWhat is there to be jealous about?
DeleteIt might not be jealousy, it might just be that tendency of people to put down others to make themselves feel better.
DeleteEveryone does the belly hold. Celebrities, regular people, everyone!!
ReplyDeleteIf Jennifer, wants to wear heels to bed, who cares🤨
ReplyDeleteJennifer, who are you referring too?
DeleteJennifer, who are you talking about?
DeleteHey, that’s a great and fun idea💥 dive out of airplane with pink or blue parachute💃💃💥💥😀
ReplyDeleteYou heard it here first.
DeleteHmmmm?? Never did it, huh?? So??
ReplyDeleteJeremy's mom looks so classy in that outfit. I love that dress and really love her sandals. She is a lovely lady! I can see Jinger's baby being dressed so stylish.
ReplyDeleteGrandma Mary, I love your skirt!
ReplyDeleteNice family time, a little much for me for my taste. Jinger looms great!
ReplyDeleteDon't girls believe in wearing slips under their dresses these days?
ReplyDeleteNo, we really don’t. You must have been born before the 1950s.
DeleteWow I think ppl come on here being negative just bc they are Duggars
ReplyDeleteAnd how is holding her belly not being modest?
ReplyDeleteAnd why does some ppl got to be hateful over their choice on how to do THEIR reveal party??
Some ppl are are just miserable with their own lives and wish others were just as miserable as they are.
