Announcing Jinger’s pregnancy, past miscarriage, and life gala awards | Ep. 14

[@BeeWOWdbyAprilLee]

I've had 5 miscarriages and 1 etopic pregnancy. No live births. I've always wanted kids. And I'm still struggling with the fact that I never had kids live thru birth. But I feel every baby from time of conception has a soul, so each of my babies in heaven have names.

[@shellzzabat5950]

Allow your body to heal with cell rejuvenation IV, hypnosis and healthy foods. Let Providence take over. If natural live birth isn't your parental journey, can you possibly consider fostering then adopting. Most of all, give yourself grace.

I'm 12 weeks pregnant and Im an investigator for DCFS and let me tell you, when women choose to stay on birth control and never have children, i actually applaud them for being honest and enough and not want to put a baby through any harm. It can be seen like being selfish, but i think its selfish when ppl bring kids because they felt obligated and they end up with the state abandoned, traumatized and hurt

[@boci122]

first off, congrats on the pregnancy, and being a DCFS worker. And I am completely with you on women not wanting to have a baby. Like you said, it shouldn't be out of obligation to have a child, it should be a something that's wanted.

[@juliannesmommy6694]

Absolutely. I used to be “pro life”…. Now that I’m a mom of two kids, I am “pro choice,” but REALLY pro life….. life of mama, life of baby outside of the womb. You don’t want to see the lives of the babies of mothers who are forced to have babies they don’t want or aren’t ready for. I wanted my babies wholeheartedly and… life got hard. DV, having to leave my home, job, community to go to a shelter. C-PTSD, autoimmune issues.. The absolute hardest part of being a mom is not being as good as a mom as I wanted to be and feeling like the kids deserved so much more. Times where I needed help so badly, but there wasn’t any help (hence why I pushed myself to health issues). And… tbh, I’m a nice and kind and involved mom. But my kids have been through so much. That comment about drowning and someone handing you a baby….. it’s not funny when that mom (who may have been hurting deeply or acting impulsively in order to get pregnant - may not have, also), but when that mom is being forced to raise a baby against their will (and many won’t do adoption). It’s not pretty. And being in a DV shelter and now poverty…. Some of these parents are so unkind and neglectful. (Many are not, too). But… I feel like people are more openly neglectful. Anyways… unless there are good and effective programs to provide for these sweet babies not yet born, I feel it’s really unethical to allow the baby to continue to develop when not wanted…. Think of the reality of not being wanted by your parents, but forced on them by the government. And do got though a life of feeling that way. It’s so horrible. So, I think the idea of when the sperm and egg becomes a human has been politicized a lot. But… I do think when you want to use the parent as an incubator to give their life for that baby… a lot of ethics do need to be considered. As for parenting being tough. Yup. It absolutely can be. And very rewarding. But as tough a go as I’ve bad it. I got to choose and that makes all the difference.

[@bmmm23]

@@juliannesmommy6694 i definitely agree, i personally do not believe in abortion, hence why i chose to keep my pregnancy even though the dad wont be involved at all. But i am also responsible enough to know i am fully capable to loving my child and providing for them. Some women know from the very beginning they do not want to love or nurture the kid or they are still doing drugs while pregnant and yet they continue to have kids, and DcFS has to do their best to take care of all of them. Even then we can't guarantee that those kids wont be abuse in their foster homes, it is hard

[@smad8477]

I've been married 22 years and at age 47 , I never experienced pregnancy. It's true, like you said God knows what he's doing even if we don't understand. Through it all he built our family and has blessed us with two beautiful daughters. And gave me the opportunity to experience a newborn and that phase. God is awesome!

[@lindabishop7824]

The decision to not have children is not selfish. It is smart not to bring a child into the world that you have no desire to take care of. Think of the amount that of children of terribly abusive homes. Those parents should have made the decision not to have kids. Everyone is not cut out to be a parent. You don't know what purpose God has for their life and it may not include children. I think it is responsible and intelligent to know your limits and to not take on such a large responsibility when they don't have the heart for it.

[@lizjohnson685]

I agree. I have six kids and not everyone needs to have children. I am a Christian through and through and the world is so different even from my last child.

[@sueglen3726]

Very well said. 👏

[@lidiyakruglov]

Why word “selfish” is so offensive to everyone? Everyone is selfish in one way or another.

[@KristinSarahM]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@HeidiSholl]

​@@lidiyakruglov The word selfish has negative implications. Yes, everybody is selfish in one way or another. To be extreme about it you could say it's selfish to eat while there are people in the world starving, but you have to also do what's best for you and eat food. You wouldn't usually use the word selfish there though because it implies that by eating you're doing something that's wrong/ morally incorrect. A lot of people wouldn't use the word selfish when talking about people who don't want children. I don't think either choice is selfish personally, and the world would literally collapse if everyone had babies so we have to balance it out one way or another 😂

[@ashk94]

Please keep in your heart that some people don’t really have a choice when they terminate a pregnancy. One of my best friends had to terminate her very wanted pregnancy at 15 weeks, and it broke her heart. She and her husband tried for a year, and when they finally got pregnant she suffered with hyperemesis gravidarum. She pushed through, only to develop pre-eclampsia at 14 weeks, a ridiculously rare and deadly complication. She was hospitalised in the hopes of managing the pre-eclampsia until at least 23-24 weeks (when baby had a chance of survival outside the womb), but unfortunately she went into multiple organ failure at 15 weeks. The termination saved her life, and she and her husband have been working on their health and doing testing in hopes of bringing a living baby home, with a living mother, in the future. It’s likely that it was just a rare, one in 10 million occurrence, but for them, it was literally a choice of one life, or two. Their little one should have been two this year, and you can see and feel their grief at having to make that choice. But I’m so grateful my friend is still here, and that they have a chance to try again, alive.

[@JessicaCarnahan-o5q]

I too cannot imagine the hard road of infertility. My heart also aches for those walking down that path. Sending love, peace and hope ❤. Congratulations y'all!! Thanks for sharing this journey of life with all of us. I love getting different perspectives on one topic!

[@mesquitegirl2013]

Same ❤ I sadly know people going through that

[@trishawaddell564]

I went through that. I had an ectopic pregnancy that ruptured and I almost bled to death, then was never able to get pregnant again b/c I had PCOS and I couldn’t afford any invasive fertility treatments. We had no luck with fostering/adopting b/c I had some health issues. It devastated me but my husband and I decided to rescue animals instead and we have 19 animals now that all needed new homes. It’s a lot of work but has given me a place to put my maternal energy. I’ll always wish I could have had children but I’ve had to accept that it wasn’t in my plan.

[@neenroe11]

[@70schick36]

Jinger…there is no difference between you not wanting 10 children and someone else not wanting any. Some women choose not to have children for reasons other than just wanting to live life for themselves or being able to go somewhere whenever they want to go. Please understand that there are many reasons why a woman may not want children and those reasons are not necessarily selfish and are valid. It is a personal decision between a woman and her mate and choosing not to be a mother is not a selfish decision. And, to be clear, I am not speaking of abortion. I am speaking of the choice not to get pregnant in the first place. Two different issues.

[@KristinSarahM]

Thank you for addressing the reality that not all women want to be mothers 🙏🏻

[@robinlamper6814]

Jinger- I’m happy for you and Jeremy, but I think it’s short sighted to say people who choose not to have children are selfish. There are many reasons why someone may make that choice.

[@topazzsky]

It's NOT selfish to not want to have kids, it's intelligent. Some people should never be parents. Not everyone is cut out for it. If someone knows they wouldn't make a good parent it's just smart not to. Better to not involve kids in a life where the adult's struggle or know they just can't be what a kid needs. It's best for kids to have parents that are in the right frame of mind and financial position to raise them right. No kid deserves parents that can't cope, or just don't want kids because it's their choice and shouldn't be judged for choosing wisely, to not have them. We already know the adoption system aren't fair in who gets to adopt and who doesn't. Its often based on money and status, when women that can have children don't get judged that way and can have them anytime they want. We also have to consider abuse and trafficking that happens these days and no one really saving these children properly. There's a dark side, because not everyone are good people with good hearts like you. We have to consider the end result for the children's sake. So wonderful to those who want kids and have them for the right reasons, but also wonderful for those who know better enough to choose not to have them. It's just NOT selfish, it's the right choice.

[@DeeGavaldon]

I respectfully disagree on your point about shelfishness driving the decision not to have children. I do not have one iota of maternal instincts. I knew from a young age, that parenthood was not for me. I know I do not have the capability to take on the responsibility of caring for children. Yes, I am shelfish and I do not want to spend my time, money or resources on children and knowing this fault, I believe it would irresponsible for me to be something I was not meant to be, bringing into the world a child who would not be loved or appreciated, but would feel like a burden. There are too many children in families that are abused, unloved, born to parents who shouldn't be within 20 feet of children. I know myself enough to know my limits.

[@christinelinnea]

Same! I have never had a desire to have human kids and don't believe that I should have had kids because society tells me so. If that makes me selfish, then so be it.

[@lisajacobson3045]

Thank you for sharing this. I completely agree.

[@yomomma123]

I have mad respect for people that know that they may not be good at parenting and have no guilt about it. I don’t look at that as being selfish. I look at that as really knowing yourself and being true to that.

First , Thank you for sharing such a powerful message !! No child is a mistake ! We make stupid decisions, but God makes no mistakes! Secondly , my 3rd child , who just turned 32 this week ,was born right before my oldest turned 6 ! He was very upset that I didn’t have a girl ! He wanted a sister not another brother ! lol However the transition from 2 to 3 was very easy ! My last baby was very chill , probably because I was too ! By this point you’ve gone through it twice and I was so much more relaxed ! And really you have to be because now the older ones are in school or starting activities so you’re on the go ! You guys will be great ❤ I’m guessing boy !! 💙. But most of for a healthy baby and pregnancy ! 🤰

[@texasgina]

I remember when I got my first ultrasound after the doctor telling me he thought he felt twins. And I said no I just have big babies, and I saw these two little bitty heads side-by-side and I just cried and I thought wow they must’ve been best friends in heaven, and God couldn’t send one without the other. And my oldest daughter now has twin girls also

[@lorileewalters2018]

I was told very young that I would never be able to have children, I was devastated. But, in 1987 I gave birth to the most beautiful baby boy in this universe, God blessed me to be a Momma, and to be Derik’s Momma.. he definitely was a miracle and gift from God because I lost 2 babies after him. I still think about the 2 I lost and sad that Derik doesn’t have a sibling, but I’m so thankful and grateful for the miracle of him. He’s grown into an amazing young man, he’s a high school history teacher and an assistant varsity basketball 🏀 coach🙏🏼☮️🕊️✝️💙 I’m praying for a smooth pregnancy and birth for you, sending Love, hugs and prayers to you.

[@elliepoillucci1883]

I would recommend to listen to The Reality Podcast with Adam & Danielle Busby. They suffered thru infertility and they talk about it on their podcast.

[@michellez13]

I worked in child protection for many years. I worked with a 12 year old child with an intellectual disability who was SA by a family member. The pregnancy was terminated. That is not murder. I am genuinely happy for you both. However your words have power remember that. What if this girl who is now a young adult was watching this video? I thought being a Christian meant being kind, considerate & non judgmental?

[@klaytonwasson4674]

What that girl went through was terrible and wrong, but killing an innocent child wasn't the right solution. What Jeremy and Jinger said is correct, that abortion is murder. The word of God does not tell us that being a Christian means to be kind, considerate, or non-judgmental. It does tell us to love though and in 1 Corinthians 13:4-6 it says " Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth." Here we see that telling the truth is the loving thing. It also says in Proverbs 31:8-9 "Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute.Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy." As Christians we are called to stand up against evil, to tell the truth, and to defend those in need. My prayer for that young woman who has trauma from assault and is now the mother of a dead child would be that she comes to know the Lord and experience his great love and redemption. Only through Christ can we be made whole because or his great sacrifice on the cross for us. No one loves her more then God. That is my prayer for everyone.

[@michellez13]

@ quoting the Bible is the most mute point to a topic ever. Everything in the Bible is open to interpretation. That CHILD not woman would have suffered far more trauma had she been forced to carry a baby and deliver it with her under developed body and not yet developed brain. I could not disagree with you more. While I clearly don't agree with you at all, I wish you nothing but peace.

Our daughter wasn’t born until we had been married for 5 years+ because of PCOS infertility. She’s almost 4 now, a lot of days I just smile. We’ve now been wanting for #2 but I’ve been having a lot of health issues. God is so good! ❤

[@tarafansler4807]

I love this talk about the value of human life. My younger two kids have a chromosome disorder.. the only two in the world with their specific chromosome anomaly. It can be easy for this world to put a stamp on individuals with disabilities as being unworthy, being an inconvenience and therefore shouldn’t even be given the chance of life or given the respect they deserve after they’ve entered into this world. Always enjoy listening to you both sharing the truth and the gospel in the midst of whatever topic you’re discussing. ❤

[@nicolegordon129]

Again, congratulations! You guys will rock having three children. It may seem daunting now, but you’ll find a way to make it work. I have three children and my older two are 17 months apart and my youngest and my middle are 2 1/2 years apart. And while it seems daunting at first, it will work out. You will find a way. And there’s no need to Termine how you will do or handle having three kids versus someone else. There’s no need to compare yourself to other people. They are them and you are you. They have their way of doing things and you all will have your systems and ways of doing things. While you can clean, some things from others, I feel it’s important to be cautious about comparing how you’re doing versus how someone else is doing because you all are different. You look wonderful. I’m beyond excited for you all. I didn’t usually tell anyone that I was pregnant until I was three months alone and had heard the heartbeat. And when I had my miscarriage, it was just a few days from hearing the heartbeat and I didn’t tell anyone except maybe one sister-in-law because she sort of found out on her own. And when she found out about the miscarriage, she thought it was so sad that she was the only one that knew because, she felt like that way I was depriving myself of the possible comfort from others. So that’s just a little story about me, though. Since you asked the question about when we usually announce that we were expecting. With regard to the gender, we did not find out with our first and third children Until they were born. With our second one because she was born in a completely different season, we thought it might be helpful for sizes of closing and so forth that we found out the gender. Once again, congratulations. I am so excited for you all. I know this is something that you have wanted to and I’m glad that is the fullness of time. Pray for a continued safe, pregnancy labor and delivery. Blessings!

Quality of life for the child is important. Does that child have an illness? Is the parent able to provide a safe and secure environment? The abortion decision is not black and white

[@katebruno9255]

Thank you for this. God blessed my husband and I with one perfect precious daughter. She is now 20 and has significant chronic illness challenges (brain tumor and seizures). She always grew up wishing she had a bunch of siblings and we loved watching your show and imagining life in a big family like that. Looking back, I think God knew our story to come and somehow knew our capacity as a couple with this medical challenge on the horizon. Emotional, financial, and physical limitations are already such a challenge, so more children may have made this even harder. Our daughter’s faith in the Lord is truly the only way she has made it thru these past few years of suffering (she was diagnosed her senior year of High school). Despite having no clear path out of this, she is determined to have children and live her life’s dream of being a mama. Please pray for God to work wonders in her life so she may be healthy enough to carry and raise children of her own someday! 🙏

Congratulations on your pregnancy and the new baby cooking in your tummy! I've had 2 miscarriages and 2 live births. My children are now 23 and 19. Miscarriage was very hard, but I know my babies got a straight shot to heaven so I will see them again one day. Blessings to you!

I have 5, all born in different decades… the 3 “OG’s” as they call themselves and then a band of 2 several years later.

We were ALWAYS in trouble!!” and “You guys have WAY different parents than we had!!!” 😂 but it is definitely nice to have a second chance at parenting and be more relaxed and patient and loving. What a gift that has been! ❤

[@jeslenehan]

I think you guys are a very special couple and I so admire the ever evolving journey of faith that you've chosen to share with the world. I do not share your beliefs, but I do respect your right to have them and have no interest in challenging anyone's faith, unless I'm being directly challenged, at which point I will defend myself and my own beliefs. I wish we all could have that attitude, as religion is so personal, but also very powerful, and brings the inevitable judgment of others who may not share your beliefs. What I'm really trying to say is that I respect your beliefs even though I do not share them. And there are moments when I feel y'all are not doing the same. Above all, love is more powerful than judgement!

[@Raisingwildminds]

The way Jeremy went "No...😨" When Jinger said Jed is going to have 4 under two sounded like he was the main character in a movie where he finds out he's been a ghost the entire time 😂

[@deanaestrada4439]

I have three kids and they are exactly 6 years apart from 1st to 3rd! great age differences and ability to let them have their own time to be individuals and the best of friends

[@lorrinatreadway2938]

You are both lovely role models to our younger generation. You are such a blessing. Keep up the good work. We need more shows on you tube like yours!

[@keekeebaker2413]

So happy for you!! Congratulations!! 🩷💙

[@mandywrazen1476]

I don’t think every married couple should have kids if they genuinely don’t want one. Some people are just not good with kids but are good with other things❤❤❤

[@kaceylinde4489]

So happy for you guys!! I'm glad you brought up infertility too. My husband and I have been trying for 6 years and have not had that blessing yet. We are trying to remain hopeful though. We do believe in miracles. It's tough because we are always so happy when friends and family are expecting, truly happy and ecstatic since we know how much of a gift babies are, but there is that tiny bit of sadness every time too. It feels selfish when we feel sad though. Blessings for you guys and prayers for a healthy mom & baby. Glad to hear other Christians stick up for the unborn and speak out again abortion. More Christians need to do that too. God bless!

[@rebekahbehrens5277]

Congrats. Also, counting how many times Jinger uses the the word "like." Haha🤣

[@AllieinCali]

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you all. I'm the youngest of 8 and yep--we have it made! I had nephews and nieces since age 6 and I'm now in my 60's. It's been awesome being able to grow up with them and nurture and guide them, then seeing them become parents and grandparents. Bonus: I still get called "the baby" on occasion. 😂

[@vanessa7566]

Your pregnancy announcement this week has been so healing for me.

[@faithfullyeloise]

I called it when you said you wasn’t drinking caffeine haha. Congratulations 🎉

[@PamelaSantos-nk4vt]

So excited for you all 🙏♥️

[@shellzzabat5950]

Congratulations 🎉. It's perfect to have this baby a few years later. I feel it helps to space out childbearing to help heal your body and have the hormones balance. Also, the children are able to have the quality time to be with parents and you don't become overwhelmed with too many too young. I feel that you as Joy Anna had spaced out your children very well. The dynamic of the entire family changes, but you have been equipped with so much parenting skills and love for your current children that this baby will be a bonus one. Be healthy and blessed. We will add you to our prayer circle.

[@claudhopper1]

Congratulations! Jeremy, i love the point you made about the safest place for a baby is in the mother’s womb and how that mom has the responsibility to protect that child and not kill it which obviously is abortion. How awful this is! Also how you talked about when Mary was pregnant with baby Jesus: BABY Jesus. He was indeed a baby inside of her womb! And that is what is expressed and believed when we talk about the birth of Jesus at Christmas time and how many people will acknowledge that he was a baby in Mary’s womb. But yet, they justify their sin, the actual act of murder. It’s unbelievable! I appreciate you guys. The Lord bless you with a healthy baby!

[@nancymeans9355]

How exciting 😊pray all goes well for you.

[@kayceepriest6931]

Yes going to say the same!! ❤ totally agree

[@havahart123review]

I wanted to say thanks for sharing about trusting god throughout the process and how a trial can be a blessing. I’m dealing with my own personal trial right now and you saying that jinger really puts things into perspective for me.

[@r3craft314]

Congratulations on your pregnancy, but I will say I am not on the same standing on abortion, not allowing abortion means you are willing to punish a woman who might have gotten pregnant via rape. Basically she has to have their rapist child and be constantly punished for being raped. I am a Christian myself, and people like you are what make me NOT WANT TO BE CHRISTIAN. This is also coming from someone who has had a stillborn. I still would not take such a CHOICE away from my fellow women. Just because I don't see it as something I would do, but I would never take such a CHOICE away from another woman. PUNISHING A WOMAN FOR MAKING A CHOICE THAT MIGHT EVEN BE BETTER HEALTH WISE FOR HER AND THE FETUS, OR FOR SOME JERK THINKING HE HAD A RIGHT TO RAPE HER IS NOT VERY CHRISTIAN OF ANYONE!!! LOVE THY NEIGHBOR NOT MAKE YOUR NEIGHBOR A COPY OF YOU!!!

[@tlajj5]

Most abortions are not from rape. Many people who have an abortion, have more than one abortion. Which is truly sickening.

[@JesusSavesAll316]

Rape shouldn’t be a choice and neither should abortion. How does someone choosing life sicken you? I’m confused. I choose Christians who choose life! I CHOOSE LIFE!

[@KLW86]

This was beautiful and meaningful episode, congratulations!!

[@ruthturkington1736]

One of our daughters is nearly 16 weeks! We are so excited as well as her 3 princesses!

[@marytull3100]

I never let anyone say I spoiled my children. They were perfectly pampered. 😊

[@margarethicks8833]

I remember when Josie was born, she was so tiny but a little firecracker. She beat all odds and I remember sitting there crying along with your Mom. I prayed so hard for that baby and God truly was shining through her.

[@lydialindaminner2602]

You are correct ... premature babies are kept in an incubator. It is amazing how they are able to take care of these tiny babies

[@zaidagonzalez466]

Ginger so happy for you God bless you. I’ll be praying for you guys. Thank you for sharing your special moment with us.

[@brigittechamberlain1339]

Huge congratulations on that beautiful baby blessing! ❤ And thank you both for speaking up about abortion. I have been struggling with the fact that people fight so hard and call us crazy because we dont want to kill babies. I just dont understand how they dont see the irony in that. Our society has been BRAINWASHED into thinking its normal to even think about this barbaric act. And so many people support it blindly. I can't stand it. My heart is broken for the millions of blessed little ones we have lost. God bless them all 😇 and God help to open eyes and stop this 🙏 amen ❤

[@victoriaguerin2851]

We don't want to kill babies either, but a fetus is not a baby; it's a process that, if allowed to continue, will eventually result in a baby. Living women are more important than potential people and our bodies are our own; we are not incubators.

[@brigittechamberlain1339]

@victoriaguerin2851 This is what I am talking about. This is what brainwashed people say. Of course, it's a baby. Have you ever seen the process? The baby is ripped into pieces. It is a billion dollar industry they are making money, and we were talked into. I encourage you to watch "Unplanned" true story of Abby Johnson. Other abortion workers and abortionists are coming forward. Living women need to take responsibility if they get pregnant. If there is an issue with the pregnancy, they will deliver the baby and try to save both mom and baby. There is no medical reason for an abortion. WE HAVE BEEN LIED TO. Hopefully, you see it one day. Please educate yourself and look up the stages of the baby as it develops in the womb. It's ALWAYS a baby.

[@brigittechamberlain1339]

@victoriaguerin2851 This is what I am talking about. WE WERE LIED TO. Of course it's a baby, duh. You need to look at the process of abortions. The baby is torn into pieces. I encourage you to educate yourself and watch "Unplanned" a true story with Abby johnson. Start watching interviews with ex abortionists and ex planned parenthood employees who are coming forward. Take responsibility if you get pregnant. Women are so strong!

[@martinacatherinemarymcaule1619]

It's not murder dear sometimes it can be a sad circumstance, a mothers life might be at risk so many scenarios..Birth control is not evil ....

[@terencesouthers4410]

Thank you on your stance for life.

[@Jasmineross_salon]

Your podcast brings me so much joy and peace … congratulations 🎉!!!

[@Lynn-fl4kg]

So joyful hearing you both talk about the value of life even in its smallest form. Thank you for staying true to Gods word about abortion. 💕💕💕

[@quinoasongs2507]

Glad you acknowledged infertility. Not everyone is cut out to be a parent, and when people choose not to, that choice needs to be acknowledged too. Like you say, being good stewards of what God has given us. Or not given us. I imagine there is more to learn along the journey. Bless you folks

[@rebeccadennen7063]

Congrats ,can’t wait to see the girls reactions

[@mugginsquilts1]

Very interesting podcast and a wide understanding of how miscarriage and pregnancy affects women and families! Nicely done.

[@LT.737]

Congrats on the news!! Also thank you so much for acknowledging those trying to have kids. My husband and I have been waiting and praying for 12 long years😢 Thank you again ! blessings from Australia Wa

[@Sunintheam8]

My children are 18, 21, 22 AND 35. There were 12 long years of infertility too. I finally saw an endocrinologist that diagnosed insulin resistant infertility. For me it was as simple as focusing on eating quality carbohydrates and walking for exercise six days a week. I only wish I had seen an endocrinologist many years earlier. So don't give up.

[@mollypapazian4423]

I waited telling anyone but my husband until my 6th month. It was a complete surprise at 45. With a naturally conceived blessing after so much trying ➕️ advanced maternal age I was trying to be realistic.

[@rebeccahunt1084]

So happy for you. I have infertility and Know God promises of working things for good in my life. I’m so glad for my faith. God bless you both.

[@sarahbreshears9294]

Love you two. Blessings to you and your family!

[@victoriat7150]

I love what Jeremy just said. All the aborted children are living in glory!! 🙏

[@susiedyck4914]

I agree, I love Jermey and Jinger, but this is where I struggle with a lot that they say. They are now calvinist (Jermey I think has been one for years) but in so many they condradict what they believe about theology how how they speak. He says all kids will be in heaven but John Calvin says in his Institudes 3.23.6 that God has doom many from the womb to die a certian death for his glory in their distruction. And there is no free will in calvinism, because God has decreed all that comes to pass.

[@reginanolting5689]

Thank you for beautifully representing the sanctity of life in pre-born humans. Praying you have a healthy child.

[@anniewatson90]

Yea but she’s pretty small for that far along. Some of the other girls have been Big at this point.

[@Imsohallie]

Yes, me too! I love the ivory chair she’s sitting in 😊

[@amandailane]

You’ve got this! Going from 2-3 is easier than going from 1-2. At least it was for us.

[@kelseywinterhalt6468]

Congratulations Jingle and Jeremy on your big news, that you're pregnant with baby number three !😊I remember when Josie was born and how much she had grown up into a young woman! I can't believe she's driving now!. Good for her!😊

[@teamcougars]

Our oldest daughter and her husband just had their first baby in September, she was due on October 9th but the baby was not growing well in the womb due to an issue with the placenta, so our daughter had to be induced at 37weeks considering the doctors told her she would never have children and it took her 6 years to get pregnant, there’s a very good chance our granddaughter will grow up as an only child due to circumstances and that’s okay they decided to do a lot of traveling and just didn’t use birth control for years hoping it would happen, eventually it did, being an only, she will be going wherever her parents want to go, they have been to Greece, US Virgin Islands, Scotland and the UK, they have a world map on their living room wall showing where they have been & where they still want to go if our granddaughter is an only she’s going to experience the world with her parents who absolutely adore her they consider her to be their miracle baby since they were told they would never have children of their own ❤❤

[@katiehansen2182]

Congratulations on your baby news that is exciting. As a fellow believer and also a nurse I think that other believers, especially pastors need to be careful with their words regarding abortions. Not all abortions are wanted. Some are necessary and stating that those who have them and perform them will have to answer to God, is weaponizing religion. These statements made from a place of power (male, authority) cause trauma. And that too will need to be accounted for in front of God one day.

[@lindadroy7323]

CONGRATULATIONS ❤ MAY THEY BLESS U WITH SUCH JOY AND LAUGHTER IN YOUR HOME AS YOUR SWEET CHILDREN GROW
