QuoteChild number 19 on the way for US couple
LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas - Number 19 caught Michelle Duggar by surprise.
The 42-year-old mum of 18 noticed that she wasn't losing weight - even though she and husband Jim Bob were on Weight Watchers - and her youngest child, 8-month-old Jordyn-Grace, was fussing while nursing.
In the past, she found a fussy infant meant a change in breast milk that came with pregnancy.
So she took a pregnancy test.
"And lo and behold, I was just pleasantly surprised that this was positive," Duggar said yesterday.
"I was just jumping up and down going, 'Thank you, Lord. Here am I - 42, thinking my baby days are over - and you've blessed us with another one'."
Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar live in Tontitown, Arkansas, and are featured with their family on the US television series 18 Kids and Counting.
The announcement of the Duggars' 19th child comes as their oldest, 21-year-old Josh, is about to become a father himself.
Married last year, Josh and Anna Duggar are expecting their first child, a girl, on October 18.
The grandchild - whom Josh and Anna plan to name Mackynzie - will be about five months older than her future aunt or uncle, due on March 18.
Michelle Duggar said her health is fine and the pregnancy is going along just like the others - with a decent bout of morning sickness.
"I am just so grateful that I have good health thus far and I'm just enjoying playing with my kids every day," she said.
"I don't take that for granted one bit. I still have a lot of energy left."
They're soliciting name suggestions for the new baby, who will join their family of 10 boys and eight girls.
The Duggars' 18 children all have names starting with the letter J and include two sets of twins.
Along with Josh and Jordyn-Grace, the family includes: Jana and John-David, 19; Jill, 18; Jessa, 16; Jinger, 15; Joseph, 14; Josiah, 13; Joy-Anna, 11; Jeremiah and Jedidiah, 10; Jason, 9; James, 8; Justin, 6; Jackson, 5; Johannah, 3; and Jennifer, 2.
The Duggars live in a 650-square-metre house, where they manage commercial real estate property.
They say they'll keep welcoming more children as long as Michelle is able to have them.
Michelle Duggar says they're recognised regularly thanks to the television show.
"We feel like it's just an opportunity to encourage families to enjoy their children, enjoy children while they have them and realise that they are a gift from God," she said.
"That's our prayer. This is an opportunity to just encourage others to value family and just enjoy the time you have with them."
Congrats Monkeybutt, didn't know you moved to Arkansas. :)
Seriously, a Jim Bob in Arkansas? Kids named Jedidiah and Josiah? Mackynzie? :rolleyes:

Reality couple?? Who the heck are these folks? First I've heard of them. Like that Gosselen couple, which I never heard of until they were in the news about their marriage breaking up. Is this what entertainment is now, so much of this reality stuff?

I didn't hear that they actually have a show. They're a family of insanely religious nuts in Arkansas. FB knows quite a bit about em IIRC.

I expect it's because he is related to them, as most people are inter-related there. Sometimes several times over.

Well, they apparently have found a way to make some money to support that huge family, so I guess that's a smart move for them!

In the 22nd century, due to breeding rates America will not be dominated by the blacks vs. whites racial struggle, but rather the Hispanics vs. Mormons vs. Amish three-way. :cool:

Blacks are holding steady percentagewise in spite of their huge abortion rate.

Alot of that has to do with the fact that the children of a black person and any other sort of racial group gets classified as a black person.
The record for children by one woman is 69! :o
16 pairs of twins, 7 sets of triplets and 4 sets of quadruplets! 67 of 69 survived infancy!

According to one of the links his second wife had six sets of twins and two sets of triplets, and of those 18, 17 survived infancy.

Yeah, he was.
For those of you who don't follow Arkansas state politics, he was a far right-wing theocon representative from some hillbilly district deep in the Ozarks. Totally marginalized by the right-wing Democratic establishment. Anyway, he and his wife subscribe to some weird "Quiver Full" theology, in which they basically believe the only way to turn America into a "Christian Nation" is to pop out hordes of spawn and outbreed the godless heathens. If I remember correctly, he also runs his own church out of his house,
a la Fred Phelps.
That's pretty much the basic gist of what this dude is about. I don't really care to follow him that much, because he's an embarrassment to my state and even further to the right than Hansie is. Hell, put it this way, in a state full of fundamentalist whackjobs, even we think Jim Bob is weird and too far out there.

Meaning they will also claim the exemptions and keep passing the buck until one of the scions of the line turns out sterile. :contract:

HONEY! Did you say to change Jermayne or Magika?
Oh, I just checked up on a minor point. He's from the Fayetteville/Rogers/Springdale/Bentonville area (Walmart-Land), not from some backwoods hillbilly area. God damn, I hate that area. It's like an anti-Little Rock. All hilly, lots of rich, white Republicans who hate Mexicans, and with a huge chip on their shoulder. Those are the ignorant fucks who give Arkansans a bad name. :bleeding:
He also tried to primary Tim Hutchinson in 2002 because he thought he was too liberal. :rolleyes:

But the problem with social security is that there are far more old people to pay out to and far too young people in the work force to pay in to the system. She's adding workers to the system.
IIRC, these dudes aren't on welfare, so I have no problem with them popping out as many kids as they want to.

The Russians and Germans had a servant underclass. They were called Poles.

And you do sometimes get individuals who rise above their birth.
