Instagram<\/a> page to make the announcement.<\/p>\n\u201cMy baby girl, Rain, is having a baby!!!\u201d she began her caption.<\/p>\n
Ami, who is a mother of seven, also listed a dramatic milestone for anyone who isn\u2019t keeping track.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandbaby Number Eleven, Coming Soon!\u201d she wrote with apparent excitement.<\/p>\n
Accompanying her caption, Ami shared what appears to be Rain\u2019s sonogram.<\/p>\n
As you can see, the sonogram reads \u201cBABY\u2019S FIRST PIC.\u201d<\/p>\n
Some may point to the name \u2014 \u201cBrown, Merry\u201d \u2014 on the image, wondering whether this is someone else\u2019s fetal photo.<\/p>\n
It is with a heavy heart that we remind you that her full legal human name is Merry Christmas Kathryn Raindrop Brown.<\/p>\n
Her name, \u201cRain\u201d (or \u201cRainy\u201d), stems from \u201cRaindrop.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alaskan Bush People viewers may recall that, nicknames aside, the Brown children began with names like Matthew and Joshua before eventually swerving into more esoteric naming conventions.<\/p>\nOn Instagram, \u2018Alaskan Bush People\u2019 alum Ami Brown announced that her youngest daughter, Rain Brown, is pregnant shortly after turning 23. (Image Credit: Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nFans are having mixed reactions<\/h2>\n This is, as we mentioned earlier, a complex time for Rain.<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t just mean because she is only 23 years old (she will turn 24 in November), which makes her young to be married to husband Josiah Lorton and extremely<\/em> young to become a mom.<\/p>\nJust last April, the couple was arrested and both spouses were charged with first-degree burglary and first-degree malicious mischief. Rain also received a trespassing charge.<\/p>\n
Both Rain and Josiah pleaded not guilty.<\/p>\n
Their next hearing is set for March 9.<\/p>\n
This legal issue \u2014 about which fans still have many questions \u2014 is only one of the issues at hand.<\/p>\n
Recently, Noah Brown claimed that his youngest sister and mother might be in poor health, even calling for a welfare check on them both. The welfare check was unsuccessful.<\/p>\n
He has even accused Rain of \u201cnot allowing\u201d their mother, Ami, to take her medication. (Amy is not only a grandmother-many-times-over but also a cancer survivor.)<\/p>\n
Noah has accused Rain, Josiah, and even Ami of using meth. <\/p>\n
Rain has hit back at Noah\u2019s claims, and may have alluded to her sexual abuse allegations<\/a> against him as a way of explaining why he supposedly wishes to discredit her.<\/p>\nAlaskan Bush People stars, from left to right: Noah Brown, Ami Brown, Bird Brown, Billy Brown, Rain Brown, Bear Brown, Bam Bam Brown, and Matt Brown. (Image Credit: Discovery)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWere troubles like these inevitable? Probably, yeah<\/h2>\n We don\u2019t know what\u2019s behind literally any of this. Not the criminal charges, not the allegations of drug use and unstable behavior, not the family beef.<\/p>\n
Rain is pregnant at a young age and in less than ideal circumstances. Given the way that our society works, there\u2019s likely nothing that we can do about any of this.<\/p>\n
We should also note that Ami ran off with Billy when she was a (young) teenager, when he was already a grown man. Some of the Browns, including the late patriarch, had criminal histories long before their reality TV debut.<\/p>\n
It seems likely that raising a bunch of children off of the grid, then feigning off-the-grid lifestyles while in reality living hybrid lifestyles with reality TV money, then an abrupt end to the reality TV gig as the family falls apart could have long-term adverse effects upon a family.<\/p>\n
Rain also grew up on TV \u2014 even acting as her family\u2019s de facto spokesperson on social media when she was only 14. Really, none of this has ever been okay, and the current struggles are sadly no surprise.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
