Get That Babysitter's Number!

Now that I’m focusing on being nonjudgmental to all experiences of celebrity motherhood I read about in the world, I’m opening my mind and heart in little ways.

I read a piece in People, Jim Bob & Michelle Duggar Go It Alone in New York, and my mind’s first reactions was to say, Oh no! Why are they in the news again? Is she pregnant again?

But the great news is that I caught myself right away. I noticed that there are certain Celebrity Momsters who just trigger my inner better-than-thou voice. And I recognize this is a reaction that will hopefully lessen with time.

So I decided to read about the Duggars with an open mind.

They’re in New York City on their own. And I realized I can learn a lesson from these parents—if they can find enough help and alone time to go to New York City without their kids, then I should be able to put together a date night every once in awhile with my husband…

Duggars Share Photos of Jubilee

Perezitos reports that the Duggars had photographs of their dead child on display at their miscarried baby Jubilee’s memorial service.

I saw the photos and while they are as tasteful as photographs like this can be, I still find it very odd.

“The photos featured the tiny hands and feet of their miscarried daughter Jubilee Shalom Duggar next to her parents. One of the photos bore this quote: "There is no foot too small that it cannot leave an imprint on this world."”

Would parents ever pose with an older dead child?

Has anyone ever heard of mourners doing this before?

Michelle Duggar Miscarries

According to Access Hollywood, Michelle Duggar miscarried her 20^th child.

In the past weeks I’d been thinking the Duggar family would end up in my blog at some point.

I feel sad for the family. She was already far along in her pregnancy; they were supposed to find out the sex of the child when instead the doctor could not find a heartbeat.

People are already flooding comments sections of websites with rude comments. I know many people feel negatively about the Duggars’ choice of having so many children, but this does not seem like the right time to point fingers.

No matter how many children someone has, a miscarriage, especially so late in term, must be devastating.
