Alan

He stood on place #26, 24 places behind for his age and he also hasn't moved with the announcement.

My toughts

Rachel Businitz shared in her story's that she and her husband are expecting again. Since their third child, Justice was born in july 2019 they have had 2 miscarriages. Both in the 2nd trimister. Very sad and since Rachel is 41 years old I stopped predicting for her since it would only make it more painfull. I'm hoping for her this baby will be born safe and healthy.

She is due in september. I think she will deliver before her due date so I guess the baby will be born on september 14th. It will be a girl, Mirabelle Grace.

Rachel Busitnitz (Wissmann) Celebrates her 41st birthday.

Kendrick Businitz celebrates his 7th birthday today.

Thanks for your ask.

Rachel&Alan Businitz are family of the Wissmann family (Hannah Duggar's family). Rachel is the eldest sister of Hannah.

Rachel married pretty late in life (30) and then struggled with infertility for the first years of marriage. They are married for 10 years and their eldest turns 7 in januari (Kendrick). They had two more children since Kendrick, Autumn who is 5 years old and Justice who is 3 years old. Since Justice she had two late term miscarriage (John Matthew in jan '21 and Faith Elizabeth in aug '21).

Since her second late term miscarriage she has been pregnant as far as we know and Rachel confermed that also with the mention of struggling with infertility again. After some time she became pretty silent on IG. She sometimes post something or repost one of her sisters post. That's it.
