This sounds just like my mom's family! Gramma had 15 live births, two sets of twins (one set that died three days after birth), and one miscarriage! She WANTED thirteen children! Most of the kids are named with 'J' too...eight of the fifteen.

Big families are fun, but the cost of living today is a major component for choosing otherwise! I have much respect for ANYONE who choses to go through that hell (L&D) that many times! I've done it once, and I'm not exactly in a hurry to do it again!

Oh yeah...y'all are cracking me up!

This is the same family from last year. Sounds like they want to go for a 17th.

Arkansas mother gives birth to 16th child

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (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.

He said Johannah's birth was especially exciting because it was the first time in eight years the family has had a girl.

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.

The Discovery Health Channel filmed Johannah's birth and plans to air a show about the family of 18 next 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 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 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; and Jackson Levi, 1.

Wow, she can have as many children as she wants but I can't help but think of one word - KEGEL...I wonder if she can feel *anything* at this point. Wow. Talk about a good reason to not have so many. Plus, she stays pregnant so much - how much do her and her husband really get to have sex.

Hey guys, This 'couple' is def on another level. He used to be a state rep and was ULTRA CONSERVATIVE. He lost this year in a bid for the senate in his region. This fool was not for our state-funded pre-k program that helps the very low-income parents. I actually work with this program and it is excellent for disadvantaged kids to get that much needed early education. He felt as if child-care should be the parents responsibility. First of all the ABC program in AR is not child-care, its preschool for 3 & 4 olds who NEED a good start in life and the odds are stacked against them. I am sure many a kindergarten teacher can testify on this one. And, not every parent can afford 17 kids and a 7,000 sq. footer!

They are from Tontitown, wherever the hell that is...

Only somebody from a town called Tontitown would have 17 kids. What is a tonti anyway? It's probably whatever keeps knocking her arse up.

Hey if her walls still holding up, she is my new role model.
I don't know how she(cause what he doing?) do it, I've had one child in life so far and I am usually beat when I hit the pillow at night, and home-schooled too!

Hell-to-the naw! Ya'll gottta get the heck outta here DAILY!

Tontitown is this little town between Fayetteville and the Oklahoma border. When I went to UAF, almost everyone from Tontitown was Italian and named Pianalto or Abplanalp. That last name is not a typo.

You know...I bet everytime Michelle says, "Guess what kids?" a wave of fear grips each and every one of their souls and a hush falls over the entire town.

No words. On the other hand, as long as my tax dollars aren't going to support them, she could have as many babypeople as she wants to.

Big ups to her uterus because that WILL NOT be me!

CrimsonTide4 · #12 10-12-2005, 07:35 PM

Can you imagine the condition of her uterus? I am sure it is tiiiiired.

Dear Jim Bob and Michelle,

Get.some.hobbies.OUTSIDE.of.the.bedroom.

From down under,

Your uterus and the remaining sperm

Tickled Pink 2 · #13 10-12-2005, 07:35 PM

She must not experience any pain 'caus after what I went thru - esp this last one - AINT.NO.WAY!

jitterbug13 · #14 10-12-2005, 08:16 PM

I saw them on the Discovery Channel about two months ago and the wife was about to give birth to the youngest boy (so that was last year). They showed how they travel around town, shop for groceries and how they are building the house, which they are still building.

And on top of that, she HOMESCHOOLS them. I'm sorry, but if I had 16 kids, they are going to someone's classroom because I would go crazy seeing them 24/7. Both of the parents must have the patence of Job.

* Jim Bob, resplendent in his new bib overalls, feeling like da isht as he looks over his vast progeny assembled at the family compound. Preparing to shuck corn, he begins to feel it, and sets out a nasty fertility hop.....

"...I can stick once, I can stick twice, I got the magic stick... maaa-aa-gic, maaa-aa-gic."

Mrs. Jim Bob: "You betta stop J.B. I'm gettin' the vapors!"

I am weaker than SWV!!!!! LMAO!!!!!
