10 Ways The Duggar Family Is Coping In Quarantine - Counting On Duggars

For years, the Duggars have fascinated fans all over the globe. Everyone wants to know about the Duggars' beliefs, their family structure, their homes, and their habits. And while the Duggars started out on TLC with their reality show, these days, social media gives fans a glimpse into their daily lives.
Even the Duggar kids who aren't on the TV show anymore still share about the goings-on in their lives on Instagram. Here are ten ways the Duggars are managing to stay relatively sane during quarantine in their various homes (and states).
Many of the grown-up Duggars have kids of their own already, but some of the newer generation are still growing their brood. Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo, for example, are expecting their second daughter sometime this fall. Joy-Anna and Austin Forsyth are also expecting a baby sometime in August. The baby girl will join big brother Gideon.
For both fan-favorite Jinger and Joy-Anna, their current pregnancies follow devastating losses. So, these Duggar ladies are likely enjoying every moment of their pregnancies during the quarantine.
9 Joy-Anna's Embracing The Chaos
Joy-Anna Forsyth is expecting her third child (her second was born prematurely and didn't make it), and her son Gideon is keeping her plenty busy in the meantime. Like every other toddler mom, Joy is likely finding it hard to keep her little guy occupied.
Joy-Anna and Austin are still spending time with family, as evidenced by videos on Joy's Instagram, but they're also spending lowkey days at home. Gideon, of course, seems to enjoy making messes, but his mom's in good spirits about it.
8 The Family Still Celebrates Birthdays
Both Jim-Bob Duggar (patriarch of the family), Michael (Josh and Anna's son), and Meredith (Josh and Anna's daughter) had birthdays this summer, and the quarantine didn't stop the celebration.
Then again, any group of Duggars is easily a crowd, so they could still be maintaining social distancing while enjoying cake and ice cream. And, with so many birthdays every month, there's always a party happening. Then again, the Duggars don't seem to be much for social distancing, as they've been out and about during the quarantine, too.
7 Jinger & Jeremy Play Cards In Quarantine
Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo have been some of the more interesting Duggars to follow in recent times. They moved away from the rest of the family, relocating to California while most of the family remains in or near Arkansas.
Jinger is pregnant with the couple's third child, a daughter, after experiencing a miscarriage at the end of 2019. She's taking care to document her little girl Felicity's adventures in and out of the house on Instagram, and it seems as if she's enjoyed the slowdown lately.
6 The Seewalds Spend A Ton Of Time Outside
With three kids to look after (Spurgeon, Henry, and Ivy), Jessa and Ben Seewald have their hands full. On her Instagram, Jessa recounts pushing Ivy in her tot swing in the backyard until her arms get tired, going on family walks, and picking blackberries.
They've also spent time gardening, cooking, and building forts in the backyard. Clearly, Jessa knows how to keep her kids busy during the pandemic, and she's also pretty good at keeping a level head, even when the kids are going a bit stir crazy.
5 Jinger Does At-Home Workouts Like The Rest Of Us
Like every other mom stuck at home during the pandemic, Jinger decided she'd do an at-home workout while her daughter Felicity napped. Of course, Jinger's luckier than most of her fans in that she can get Instagram sponsorships for her posts, but it's still relatable that she's trying to find time for herself while Felicity naps.
All moms seem to be having the same struggle right now, and staying home with the little ones isn't always easy. Jinger is keeping it relatable with most of her Instagram posts, though.
4 Jana Keeps The Littles At Home Occupied With Bike Rides
As the eldest remaining Duggar at the family compound, Jana has a lot of responsibilities. While the as-yet-unmarried Duggar sister stays busy with projects around the house, most especially gardening, she also spends time biking with her younger siblings.
But don't worry; Jana's not just babysitting this summer. She's also been lounging by the pool sipping from a coconut, picking strawberries from her garden, and spending time creating art outdoors. Fans will agree that it's nice to see Jana taking time for herself even while following Jim-Bob Duggar's rules.
3 Jinger Also Started A Podcast With Jeremy
In addition to her branded and sponsored posts, Jinger's also working on a new project. She revealed on Instagram this summer that she and Jeremy are working on a podcast together. We already knew Jeremy was a pastor, so he clearly has a lot to say and is comfortable sharing his views with others.
