Arkansas Couple Gives Birth to Another, 15th So Far. FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Michelle Duggar's family says that the mother is all smiles after delivering her 15th child. Both the baby and mother were doing well, although Michelle was feeling some discomfort because the birth was her second by Caesarean section, said father and former state legislator Jim Bob Duggar's mother, Mary Duggar. "She's a trooper. She's just all smiles," Mary Duggar said in a telephone interview Monday. The baby boy, Jackson Levi Duggar, was born at 10:52 a.m. Sunday. He weighed 7 pounds 8 ounces and is 20 inches long. "She was wanting to do it naturally," Mary Duggar said. But the delivery was by C-section because one of Jackson's shoulders was presenting first. "I call him Jumping Jack because he would go in a circle," she said. Home briefly from the hospital later Monday, Jim Bob, 38, sounded a bit tired but happy. He said his wife and new son were doing fine. He said he leaves the decision up to Michelle on whether to have more children. "I have always left it up to Michelle because she's actually the one that carries them and does all the labor," he said. "But we both love children. Even yesterday, she said she would like to have some more." Michelle, 37, probably will be in Washington Regional Medical Center for three or four days, said her mother-in-law, who is taking care of the 14 other children. Michelle, who home schools her children and is helping to build the family's new home in Tontitown from the ground up, started having her babies when she was 21, four years after she and Jim Bob married. He is a real estate businessman and a former state representative. Their children include two sets of twins, and the parents have stuck to the letter "J" for their names. There is Joshua, 16; Jana and John-David, 14; Jill, 13; Jessa, 11; Jinger, 10; Joseph, 9; Josiah, 7; Joy-Anna, 6; Jeremiah and Jedidiah, 5; Jason, 4; James, 2; and Justin, 1.
My girlfriend is the 14th of 14. This really isn't that big a deal (I mean its great and all but I see it all the time). We had a kid at our school who was 22 out of 22. We called him bunny.
Everytime I read about something like this it just astonishes me... that there are women out there who actually find the idea of being pregnant for 16 years straight appealing...
i remember a summer olympics from about 10 years ago and this guy from africa was the 28th or 29th out of 29. lady should have just said "screw" it and go for 30.
One more thing, it sucks for the dad if she is one of those women who are too sick for sex when they a pregnant. He may have got it one time a year.
I have 2 kids and that is plenty for this guy. That is absolutely insane to have that many kids. I'm surprised her uterus hasnt fallen out yet. She probably knocks it between her knees when she walks.
Exactly, there isnt much to do besides there except shoot beer cans, put another car on blocks, get more broken appliances to put in your yard, buy more snuff, or pork your cousin.
Hmm, Jim Bob marrying a seventeen year old. Where are these people from again. Sorry Lil Pun, that's too easy. Seriously, its funny that up until probably 60 years ago, when people were poorer, and the medicine wasn't nearly advanced as it is now, it wasn't really a big deal for a woman to have 10 plus kids.
I agree that something does need to be done. Over population is something I think is a big problem for the world today and something needs to be done about it, everywhere. I just don't know about heavy taxation or penalties.
I just read this morning that the Australian government is offering $2,000 for every child a married couple has... in order to have enough of a future generation to support the nation.
Considering the record a few years ago was something like 69, this is nothing. Oh yeah, 69 by the same man and that man had another 20 or so by a 2nd wife.
