Ellie's Pregnancy Announcement

Hello, blog readers! It's Ellie, blog creator, primary author, and friend of the Duggars.

As someone who has blogged about the Duggar family for almost nine years, I have had the pleasure of announcing a lot of pregnancies. Today I have another pregnancy announcement to make, but the expectant mother is not one of the Duggars...it's me!

My husband and I are expecting our first baby in four months, and we couldn't be happier. For more details, visit our lifestyle blog, NashvilleWife.com.

    Congrats! Being a mommy is the best thing ever. I have five children and we are expecting another child in a few months.
    Children truly are blessings.
    I hope everything is going well in your pregnancy. Hopefully you are feeling better now and enjoying the journey. Are y'all waiting to find out the gender of the baby? We have one daughter and four boys, so we are looking forward to finding out in a couple of weeks.

    Congrats Ellie!!! You are so sweet to run this blog for us! We appreciate you! The Duggars are "family" for a lot of us with dysfunctional families or only children or personally for me, I'm a person of faith who was raised in an abusive atheist upbringing with Christian grandparents that shared the light and introduced me to a community who are like-minded with the Duggars. It really is a "once you get it you get it" type of lifestyle. Harmony is such a pleasant way of life. The rest of the world causes so much friction for itself by but seeing the common sense in some scriptures.

      Anon 5:34, I am sorry about your situation but it is important to note that atheist doesn’t equal abusive and Christian doesn’t necessarily equal loving. Abusive parents come from all different backgrounds.
