They just had number 17. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070803/ap_on_fe_st/17_kids LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - It's a girl — again — for the Duggars. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar welcomed their 17th child, and seventh daughter, into the world Thursday. Jennifer Danielle was born at 10:01 a.m. at Saint Mary's Hospital in Rogers, Ark., the Duggars said in an interview. Jennifer weighed 8 pounds, 8 ounces and arrived five days after Michelle's due date. Less than 30 minutes after giving birth, the Duggars already were talking of having more. "We'd love to have more," Michelle said, adding that the girls are outnumbered seven to 10 in the family. "We love the ruffles and lace." Jennifer joins the fast-growing Duggar brood, who live in Tontitown in a 7,000-square-foot home. All the children — whose names start with the letter J — are home-schooled. The oldest is 19 and the youngest, before Jennifer, is almost 2 years old. "We are just so grateful to God for another gift from him," said Jim Bob Duggar, 42, a former state representative. "We are just so thankful to him that everything went just very well." Jennifer joins siblings Joshua, 19; John David, 17; Janna, 17; Jill, 16; Jessa, 14; Jinger, 13; Joseph, 12; Josiah, 11; Joy-Anna, 9; Jedidiah, 8; Jeremiah, 8; Jason 7; James 6; Justin, 4; Jackson, 3; Johannah, almost 2. The family includes two sets of twins. Michelle Duggar said that Joshua, Janna, Jill and Jessa were at the hospital, but that the rest of the family planned to visit their new sister later Thursday. Michelle Duggar said she started feeling contractions Wednesday night and went to the hospital at about 5 a.m. Thursday. "It actually went fast," she said. "I guess once I started progressing, it went within 30 minutes." Jennifer was born via a VBAC — or vaginal birth after Caesarean, Jim Bob Duggar said. The Duggars have been featured on several programs on cable's Discovery Health Network. The next special, the Duggar Family Album, is scheduled to air next month, Jim Bob Duggar said. Among the "fun facts" listed on Discovery Health's Web page devoted to the Duggars: A baby has been born in every month except June; the Duggars have gone through an estimated 90,000 diapers, and Michelle, 40, has been pregnant for 126 months — or 10.5 years — of her life.
if they can afford to take care of them both financially and emotionally, then all the more power to them.
its weird to see a post in a thread 3 years old. i still dont have any kids, and thats a positive thing for me
What's up with all of the old threads being dug up recently?? Not that I can say anything because I am guilty of it too...
Every time I hear about them, I have mixed feelings: Me1: "Good Lord. Those people just shouldn't have that many kids." Me2: "Why not?" Me1: "I dunno... they just shouldn't." Me2: "Having a big family is really kinda cool. Lots of love there." Me1. "Yeah.... I guess." Me2: "Hey - did you remember to put on deodorant this morning?" Me1: "No, but you did." Me2: "Oh... okay."
Well, your heart is in the right place, but I dispute a couple of your points. One, you don't have to have a higher education to move out of the lowest income bracket. The wealthiest people I've met didn't have a college degree. In many ways I think that higher education brain washes you into thinking that there's just one way to make it. You just have to be smart with your money and your decisions...by working smart, not hard, which is my second dispute. You dont have to work HARD to get ahead, just work smart.
Maybe they've evolved beyond stupidity and actually have sex because they want a big family and not to be the next carrier of an STD by playing Russian roulette with ho d'jour? I'm guessing his kids fulfill his life. Just a thought... More power to 'em. If they can afford them and they're not a burden on the rest of society, I think it's pretty cool. Of course, I had an IM waiting for me from a friend from Arkansas. Her only comments were as follows : "I know you saw it, don't bother sending it to me... I've had it sent to me about 7 times now". lol.
way to overreact to a generic "hotdog down a hallway" joke, champ brb, I'm going to stand in front of a running microwave in hopes that I can mutate and "evolve" into a being that doesn't want sex for pleasure
