Joy-Anna Duggar Shows Off Baby Bump In Leaked Pregnancy Photo
Update- 11/7/17: Another photo of Joy-Anna Duggar has been obtained by Duggar Family News.
Original Story:
Joy-Anna Duggar hasn’t been sharing many updates about her pregnancy, but “Counting On” fans were given a closer look at her growing baby bump this week.
A candid shot of the TLC reality star was recently posted to the Duggar Family News Facebook page. In the leaked photo, Joy can be seen cradling her bump with her husband, Austin Forsyth, standing behind her. Her parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are also visible in the photo.
According to the Duggar site, the image, posted Nov. 4, is from Joy’s appearance at her in-laws Fort Rock Family Camp in Combs, Arkansas, over her birthday last month. The site claims the candid was taken while Michelle and Jim Bob sang happy birthday to Joy, now 20, with other campers.
Jim Bob and Michelle were previosuly revealed to be attending the camp’s fall marriage retreat, which happened to fall over Joy’s birthday weekend on Oct. 28. Joy also spoke about the event on her and Austin’s shared Instagram page.
While the Duggar Family has spoken about the camp’s event on many occassions, they did not post the new photo of Joy to their fan account. They did, however, share a special birthday message for their ninth eldest on her big day last month. In their post, which includes several shots of Joy in her various stages of life, Jim Bob and Michelle said they “can’t believe” that Joy-Anna is pregnant with her first child.
“Happy 20th Birthday sweet, Joy-Joy!!! We can’t believe you are all grown up, married and having your own baby!” wrote the pair.
You have always lived out your name, by bringing Joy to everyone you meet. We love you and Austin so much and are so excited to see what God is going to do with your lives in the future. May God pour out His blessings on your lives as you continue to love and follow Jesus and make a difference in the lives of those around you! We bless the day you were born and look forward to all the beauty of life we will share with you in the future! We love you, -Mom & Dad.
The Fort Rock Family Camp also did not share the photo of Austin and Joy but did thank Jim Bob and Michelle for helping finish their 2017 season in an “incredible” way.
The new photo of Joy is the first time fans have seen her baby bump since Oct. 2 when Joy posted a pregnancy update to Instagram. “Can’t wait to see our baby!” the expectant Duggar wrote at the time alongside a photo of her bump. “I got to feel it kick for the first time a few days ago. Soooooo amazing!!! It's already about the size of a bell pepper and weighs around half a pound!!!”
The Duggars are not the only ones staying fairly quiet about Joy’s pregnancy. TLC’s “Counting On” season finale last month also ignored her bump.
