Guest ONYX Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 [b]Is it just me, or does this seem insane? I would like to have a family one day as well but damn.............16 kids!!!!!!!!!!![/b] Mom delivers 16th child, thinking of more Wednesday, October 12, 2005; Posted: 8:37 p.m. EDT (00:37 GMT) LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (AP) -- Michelle Duggar just delivered her 16th child, and she's already thinking about doing it again. Johannah Faith Duggar was born at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday and weighed 7 pounds, 6.5 ounces. The baby's father, Jim Bob Duggar, a former state representative, said Wednesday that mother and child were doing well. Johannah's birth was especially exciting because it was the first time in eight years the family has had a girl, he said. Jim Bob Duggar, 40, said he and Michelle, 39, want more children. "We both just love children and we consider each a blessing from the Lord. I have asked Michelle if she wants more and she said yes, if the Lord wants to give us some she will accept them," he said in a telephone interview. The Discovery Health Channel filmed Johannah's birth and plans to air a show about the family in May. The Learning Channel is doing another show about the family's construction project, a 7,000-square foot house that should be finished before Christmas. The home, which the family from the northwest Arkansas town of Rogers has been building for two years, will have nine bathrooms, dormitory-style bedrooms for the girls and boys, a commercial kitchen, four washing machines and four dryers. Jim Bob Duggar, who sells real estate, previously lost his bid for the U.S. Senate. He said he expects to run for the state Senate next year but isn't ready to make a formal announcement. Michelle Duggar, 39, had her first child at age 21, four years after the couple married. Their children include two sets of twins, and each child has a name beginning with the letter "J": Joshua, 17; John David, 15; Janna, 15; Jill, 14; Jessa, 12; Jinger, 11; Joseph, 10; Josiah, 9; Joy-Anna, 8; Jeremiah, 6; Jedidiah, 6; Jason, 5; James, 4; Justin, 2; Jackson Levi, 1; and now Johannah.

Sounds to me like that is what she wants. I don't have a problem with it. I don't think I would want that many kids, but if that's what they want, it's cool.

Just because she does not live a life that you would doesn;t mean it's a horrible life. She must like her life if she keeps on getting pregnant and is thinking of doing it AGAIN! I think she is quite happy with her life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big_dish Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I wonder if the kids individually are going to lack the neccesary love and nurturement that children need? Or if it is no problem since they all have each other? This is too wacky for me to ever want to be a part of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ONYX Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Is it possible that this woman has some type pf pregnancy fetish? She has had 16 kids 18 years. She has not seen her feet since the 80's. There is no way each child is getting much quality time from their parents. They have kids ready to graduate highschool, kids just beginning adolesence and puberty, kids just starting school, and new borns. I would not be suprised if somebody from that family may grow up with some serious issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
