Could be. 
 

I noticed Jedi and Lainey are divorced/separated. They never had kids. But she has two siblings married to Willis siblings. So it could be awkward in the future. 

They're divorced and he's dating again. But the youngest Willis sister married to her brother I think it's Jasmine is on Laineys side.

Jenny is married to Sean McDowell and Jasmine is married to Ryan McDowell.

Years ago I thought she and her husband were done with kids. Trying to remember what I based that assumption on. The age their kids were at the time? The age she and her husband looked? Not that I ever saw many photos. So I am always bizarrely surprised to see her name on this list.

She has really spaced them out compared to other fundies. I know Fundiewiki isn’t always 100% accurate but I think these must be somewhat accurate dates of her first 5 kids.

Wow just realised that Priscilla Waller has 3 nephews called Nehemiah (Esther's, Nurie's and Rachelle's)

Don't know why I'm so surprised when fundie families are so large, I suppose they have to recycle names eventually

That is amazing! These people have absolutely no imagination! There are so many beautiful names out there! But I guess, if you "HAVE" to have "the most wholesome christian name" and only read the Bible, then your name choices are extremely limited....

I’m Jewish & in very religious Jewish family (because they are usually large) having a son or daughter share a name with an in-law is common. I know of a family where their oldest son & daughter married people with the same name as one of their siblings. The names are pretty common in their religious circle.

It’s just weird that they recycled a name that isn’t very common. I guess it would make more sense if it was the name David, John, Anna, Grace, etc. But Nehemiah is a much less common name in the US.

They all have different last names so it's not so bad. The Mueller family has 2 Calebs

Just like his twin, he and his wife will have their first two kids close together and then there will probably be a bigger gap between #2 and 3.

Sorry but that’s still close in my opinion. 
 

If they have a baby in Feb, it’s two months after their first turns one. Jed’s second was born two weeks after the first turned one. That’s not a huge difference. They are still 2 kids close in age. Like I said.

2 weeks and 2 months has a difference

I didn’t same they would be exactly the same distance apart. I said they would have their first two close together and then the next one further apart. Reread what I wrote.

Holy smokes, why are fundies so eager on those babies, my first two are 25 months apart and I considered that close together!

Rebekah Lockwood (I don’t remember her married name) is expecting her first.

Mine are 27 months apart and I was so upset that they were that close together. I wanted them to be more like 3 years apart. But things outside of my control changed my perfect timeline. The hardest time of my life was when I had a newborn and a toddler. I never want to go back. Now that they are in grade school, it’s wonderful. They play together all the time. But damn it was hard at first.

Mine are 3 years and 3 months apart. My youngest brother had 3 boys in 3 years and 2 months time. It was c-r-a-z-y!

I was just coming to post this. I wondered yesterday if she was pregnant because one of her sisters posted pics and she was hiding her belly. 
 

Hannah didn’t announce until sometime after 20 weeks with Brynlee (she announced August 30, Brynlee was a born a couple weeks early on Christmas Eve) and that looks like a fairly advanced ultrasound, so I bet she is past 20 weeks again. If she announced around hte same time as last time, she’s due in early March. Which still means two kids by their second wedding anniversary. That is insanely fast by anyone’s book.

The babies aren’t quite as close between each other, but they are closer within the marriage. Jed and Katey had hit their second anniversary almost two months before Nora was born. Truett was actually born after their first anniversary (month later) as well. While Jer and Hannah had a baby within the first 10 months of marriage and will probably have baby #2 before their second anniversary. 
 

I think both couples can be shown to having their first two babies very quickly l

Yeah, mine are 2 years and 9 months apart and I am sooo glad they're not any closer. It's still insanely hard right now (baby is six months), but at least my 3-year-old is a lot more independent than she would have been a year earlier. And I don't even want to imagine having a baby and a 1-year-old. I get that people have different timelines for their own (very valid) reasons, and plenty of non-fundies choose to have their kids very close together, but it's just very much not for me. And I wish these fundie women felt like they had a choice in the matter, rather than just doing it because, well, that's what you do.

@JillyO I feel ya- my oldest was 2y9m when my twins were born.. full term.. all 3 in diapers cause the oldest was a stubborn and slow learner... I had to put gates up and locks on everything though since he loved to get into things while I was nurse trapped on the couch!
