Recap: Kendra has a baby

Be sure to check out our recap for Jinger's double surprise and the special announcement on our Bates family blog!

Ben and Jessa host a dinner potluck at their house. Their theme is dinner around the world in which each couple must bring a dish from the country that they went to for their honeymoon. Austin and Joy bring chocolate fondue, Joe and Kendra bring a Greek salad while Ben and Jessa make a chicken fettuccine Alfredo while using Michelle’s recipe. The couple enjoys the meal and talk about life. Austin and Joy share that Gideon sleeps until six am most nights. Austin doesn’t like double dipping, so he makes a rule that there will be no double dipping or eating off the skewers. Ben likes the announcement and knows what germophobe is. Austin reveals that he would call out his mother if she were to double dipped.

Jinger reveals that there were rules about double dipping and you just don’t do that since it’s disgusting.

At the big house, they gather for a joint bachelor and bachelorette party for Josiah and Lauren. The family loves playing fooseball and decide to create a human foosball table. Josiah and Lauren are the goalies and Josiah’s team takes the win.

Just ten days before her due date, Kendra is having some strong and consistent contractions, so her mother and sister come over to help her with the breathing. Kendra has a habit to hold her breath when she is in pain, so the others must remind her to breathe. Kendra’s sister and mother head out to give the expectant parents a chance to sleep but Kendra gets very uncomfortable and leave for the hospital. The contractions are only two minutes apart. Kendra ends up being in labor for about 13 hours before starting to push.

During their hospital stay, the siblings bring over dessert and banners to the house to mark the special occasion. After being released they head over to the big house to show him off.

Recap: Jinger’s Double Surprise

NOTE: before we get started on tonight’s recap check out our Bates family blog for a special announcement! We will have a Bates family update in October for you after Josie and Kelton's wedding.

Jeremy and Jinger is 25 weeks pregnant and setting up the gender reveal party. They have decided to do an obstacle course and both teams will make it to light-up “baby” sign. The winning team will pull the cord and reveal the gender of the baby. Jinger reveals that she believes that her siblings have used all the traditional baby gender reveals so they had to be unique with the reveal. They want to have fun with embarrassment.

Most of the Duggar family heads to Laredo with Jeremy’s parents. Jim Bob is the captain of team girl while Chuck is the captain of team blue. The course has a hula-hooping, a dizzy spinning, hopping and child-size tunnel, and ice cream eating competition. Some of the older folks go through the tunnel while others have children go through it. The pink team wins so Jim Bob and Michelle light the sign and it turns pink. Chuck is so excited to have his first grandchild be a girl while Jim Bob is excited to be adding to the girl team.

The next day, a friend of Jeremy and Jinger throw a surprise baby shower for the couple. Jana and Jessa tell their sister that they want to have a shopping spree. During the trip the friend calls them to ask if they can over to look at a crib that she has for him. They arrive and see the taco truck and pink decorations and knows that something is going on.

Jessa reveals that her sister is easy to surprise since she just goes with the flow and doesn’t catch on. The whole place is pack with pink decorations and treats. Chuck and Jim Bob do prayer and short message. They are grateful for their friends and family through this time.

Jedidiah reveals that it’s wonderful to be there for his sister and Jeremy before the baby arrives and it makes it special.

Meanwhile back home, Kendra’s parents are preparing for the birth of Joe and Kendra’s son. Kendra is now 36 weeks pregnant while her mother is 12 weeks pregnant with her 8^th child. Christina loves being pregnant with her daughter at the same time however Kendra got married young and were hoping to have another baby or two but are content and so excited.

Christina was 36 weeks pregnant during her first pregnancy when she got into an car accident when her labor began. For three weeks, Christina’s labor was off and on until her arrival. Paul and Joseph put in the car seat and pump up the labor ball as the girls were putting together the baby book and hospital bag. They end up checking off those items and feel ready for their son’s arrival. The next day, Joseph and Kendra are doing a test to see how long it will take to grab their things and drive to the hospital. Kendra reveals that she is hoping for a natural birth and Joseph wants to have plenty of snacks. It only takes them twenty-eight minutes during rush hour.
