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 8th 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.
