Jill Duggar has been keeping a much lower profile than usual lately.
This may have to do with the fact that her husband, Derick Dillard, has been fired by TLC, which means that Jill will no longer be appearing on her family’s popular reality show.
But there might also be a different reason why we’ve been seeing so much less of Jill in recent weeks.
Jill posted the above photo of herself with her youngest son, Samuel, on Instragram yesterday.
“Love my babies,” Jill captioned the snap.
It’s the first time in nearly a month that Jill has been featured in one of her own pics, and her appearance has fans talking.
“Looks like her shirt is poking with another baby,” commented one not terribly sensitive follower.
“Is she pregnant? It looks like it,” remarked another.
Some fans think Jill dropped a hint with her caption for the photo:
“She said my babies… she’s only holding one so she’s probably pregnant with one also,” wrote one.
“Babies as in the one in your belly as well?” asked another.
Needless to say, Jill’s followers are convinced that she’s expecting.
Others are a bit less crude and didn’t feel the need to publicly comment on a young mother’s physique.
“Sometimes it’s hard to get the body to snap right back to its previous shape,” commented one fan.
“Sometimes it never does. Sometimes we have an almost 8 yr old and still could look pregnant to a nosy person who makes rude comments.”
One fan wisely pointed out that the hubbub about the use of the plural “babies” in the caption is a bit absurd and amounts to a no-win situation for Jill.
“If she said ‘baby’ you’d be complaining that she’s leaving her other child out. She loves her babies, but happened to take this pic with only one of them. Come on,” she wrote.
Whatever the case, you can expect the Dillard clan to expand sometime in the near future.
Jill and Derick have discussed adoption, and both say they’d like to have a family roughly the size of Jill’s massive clan.
Of course, it’s anyone’s guess as to how they would support such a massive brood.
These days, the newly unemployed Dillards are reportedly getting the majority of their cash from fan donations, which isn’t exactly a sustainable venture.
