Josiah Duggar

Since Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson married in early summer, even hardcore Duggar fans have only gotten glimpses into their life together.

Now, just in time for Christmas, the couple is showing off their beautiful home.

We hate to break this to you, but...

... Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson having a bit of fun at your expense.

It's been five months since Lauren Swanson and Josiah Duggar got married, and to the surprise of many, the couple has yet to make a pregnancy announcement.

Obviously, this is one of those situations that would be perfectly normal in the real world, but is flat-out bizarre in the alternate reality the Duggars have constructed for themselves.

It took a month into Lauren Swanson's marriage to Josiah Duggar for the world to ask the only real question that matters when it comes to a new member of this latter family.

Is she pregnant yet?

Back in June, Josiah Duggar married Lauren Swanson got married in the sort of massive, lavish ceremony his family has become known for.

Basically, Duggar kids get hitched in the Ozark equivalent of royal weddings, except instead of celebrities and foreign leaders there are dozens of bait shop proprietors in attendance.

MAJOR PDA ALERT!

We repeat:

Counting On suffers from the same problem as so many reality shows nowadays, in that its stars are so famous and so popular on social media that it's very easy to stay up to speed with what's going on in their lives.

Some have argued that these circumstances render reality TV obsolete, but Counting On remains as popular as ever, and last night's episode provided some potent reminders of why that is.
