http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/18th_baby ROGERS, Ark. – An Arkansas woman has given birth to her 18th child. Michelle Duggar delivered the baby girl by Caesarean section Thursday at Mercy Medical Center in Rogers. The baby, named Jordyn-Grace Makiya Duggar, weighed 7 pounds, 3 ounces and was 20 inches long. "The ultimate Christmas gift from God," said Jim Bob Duggar, the father of the 18 children. "She's just absolutely beautiful, like her mom and her sisters." The Duggars now have 10 sons and eight daughters. Jim Bob Duggar said Michelle started having contractions Wednesday night. She needed the C-section, her third, because the baby was lying sideways. Jim Bob said both baby and mother were doing well Thursday night. "We both would love to have more," he said. The cable network TLC broadcasts a weekly show about the Duggars, called "17 Kids and Counting." Chris Finnegan of TLC — which handles public relations for the Duggar family — said the show's name would be updated to account for the latest addition to the family. He said TLC also will air a show Monday on the baby's delivery. Jim Bob Duggar is 43, a year older than his wife. Their oldest child, Joshua, is 20. The other Duggar children, in between Joshua and Jordyn-Grace, are Jana, 18; John-David, 18; Jill, 17; Jessa, 16; Jinger, 14; Joseph, 13; Josiah, 12; Joy-Anna, 11; Jeremiah, 9; Jedidiah, 9; Jason, 8; James, 7; Justin, 6; Jackson, 4; Johannah, 3; and Jennifer, 1. "Our whole family is excited about Jordyn's addition to our family," Jim Bob Duggar said. "She's just perfect in every way." (This version CORRECTS the name of the Duggars' TLC show to '17 Kids and Counting,' not 'Seventeen and Counting.'))
That family is a freeking cult. It's not funny anymore. It's creepy and sad. FYI - They share the same whacked-out nutjob religion as the Yates' family did.
I'm sure they were telling each other..."you know what would be really funny? lets have 18 kids." whateva dude.....there are far worse things in this world than a couple having 18 kids. mi esposa has 17 Aunts and Uncles....I guess she is just creepy and sad also... Good Luck to the Druggers......and congrats.
I suppose. I really don't see the point in this comparison unless your family example also subscribes to the quiverfull movement.
They should have had a TV show. I've always wanted 13 kids, but my wife and I have agreed on only having 4.
their tv show is pretty sorry. they dress like members of that crazy fundamentalist mormon group in west texas....
Not even close. I remember reading once some woman had over 60, I think. What's most amazing about the family is that their kids are so well-behaved, mature, and work their tails off to help out around the house. Families around the world write asking how they do it. It's a pretty cool family from what I've seen of the show.
I was thinking "she must have had a ton of twins, triplets, quadruplets, etc." and sure enough I was right. 27 pregnancies and 69 children. But I like how it says she was the first of two wives for this guy. He had 69 freakin' children with this woman and then they split up and he remarried.
