It’s been almost two months since Jinger Duggar married Jeremy Vuolo in a small ceremony attended by a couple thousand of their closest friends.
Given her family’s obsession with procreation it’s not surprising that the rumors about Jinger being pregnant began almost immediately after she got hitched.
Surprisingly, however, we’re still waiting on an official announcement.
No non-Duggar would be expected to start a family so soon after getting hitched, but Jinger and her siblings have been taught from a young age that sole purpose of human life is to create more human life.
Just before the holidays, Jinger celebrated her 23rd birthday, and many fans seemed convinced that she would make the occasion extra special by announcing that she’s expecting her first child.
Jeremy added fuel to the fire by hinting at some sort of big reveal on Jinger’s big day.
It seems the surprise he was referring to was a trip to the opera for Jinger, who has a reputation for being the most artsy and sophisticated member of the massive Duggar brood:
Jeremy posted the pic above with a caption reading, “Enjoying Jinger’s birthday gift together!”
We’d say the fact that they’re both in their twenties, yet participated in a sober activity on her birthday might be an indication of a bun in the oven, but for the Duggars, every occasion is a sober occasion.
“Happy Birthday, my Love,” Jeremy wrote on Facebook.
“Next only to our Lord Jesus Christ, you are the joy of my life and the delight of my soul! I love you, Jinger.”
The Duggars, of course, don’t believe in pre-marital sex (or pre-marital hand-holding, for that matter), so if Jinger is pregnant (and she and Jeremy didn’t break the rules of courtship, as they’ve been accused), then she would only be in her first trimester.
Many women prefer to wait until at least their second trimester before they make any sort of announcement, so it’s entirely possible that Jinger is already knocked up and keeping the news to herself.
Whatever the case, you can be certain that she’ll have brought another Duggar into the world by the time 2017 is out.
