Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar had an announcement to make on The Today Show this morning, which is that Michelle was pregnant with their 20th baby. I found myself getting prickly on their behalf watching the response and somewhat annoying questions by Ann Curry…
What a witness this couple and family are. I just love them. See what I mean by this clip posted at People.
And this clip just up on the TLC website…
“We are so excited,” says Michelle, 45, who is now about 3-1/2 months into her pregnancy and due in April. “I feel good. I am past the sickness stage now.”
The Tontitown, AR, couple, who are parents to children Joshua, 23 (who is married to Anna, 23 and has two children, Mackynzie, 2 and Michael, 4 months), twins Jana and John-David, 21; Jill, 20; Jessa, 19; Jinger, 17; Joseph, 16; Josiah, 15; Joy-Anna, 14; twins Jedidiah and Jeremiah, 12; Jason, 11; James, 10; Justin, 8; Jackson, 7; Johanna, 6; Jennifer, 4; and Jordyn, 3, weathered the medical emergency of their youngest daughter, Josie’s birth on Dec. 10, 2009.

That department seems to be covered.
No, I'm sure The Learning Channel pays them a nice amount for exposing their life for all to see on their TV show.
EARNING money is not a hand out. A hand out is usually chairty or tax money.
The TV channels that pays them does so of their own free will. The companies who advratise on the channel do so of their own free will.
Tax money i.e., welfare, and is TAKEN under threat of prison and GIVEN to another.
Your point is incorrect.
In order to opine that two obstetrical specialists are “full of it,” yes, I think you need some kind of qualifications. Either that, or simply admit you don’t know what you’re typing about, really.
I have one due in January (#10). However, it is statistically improbable that I could go from 10 to 20 in the next 6 or 7 years ;-).
Congratulations, Tax-chick! Prayers for all to go well. :)
Oh, nice. :-) I don’t remember hearing that you were having another chickadee. Do you know if it’s a boy or girl yet? I think the Duggars may have been married a bit longer though, so they had a head start. Plus their oldest already has two of his own.
Wowzers! You'll have to re-expand your FR homepage!
Congrats.

“They are going to exhaust all the J names.”
Nope..Still room for at least 14 more! Let’s see Jewels, Julie, Josephine, J.C., Jaci, Jemma, Johanna, Jenna, Julia, jay, Jehosephat, Jack, Jackson, Joselyn...
hey...that's only 3 sets of triplets, and a spare. pshhhhawww...you can do it! :)
congrats on the new little one on its way! you have a beautiful family already, too.
The Duggars story is inspiring. Early in their marriage, after fearing that the baby they lost to a miscarriage was the result of her history of BC pills, they turned to the Lord and said, "We will accept as many children as You see fit".
I admire them.
Michelle Duggar and I are the same age, but she was younger when she got married, and has had children at short intervals, plus some twins.
Our new one is a girl, and I’ll get new pictures on my page one of these days.
I admire them, too. Everything we do in life involves work and risks, and a family is a more worthwhile accomplishment than lots of other things people can do.
I just looked at your page. What a beautiful family you have.
Ever noticed how fast children from big families eat? Stay out of the way.
I love stories like these. :) Stick it in the face of the baby-killing liberals. Go, Duggar family! Bless.
Thank you!
Well, these folks are helping to offset the aging of the population and are doing it in a way that conserves resources. One family raising 20 kids costs a lot less than 20 families each raising 1 kid.
Insanity, the last baby had major problems from the mother’s advanced age and again they do this.
Their kids are made to baby sit, having IMO any form of their own childhood. If their kids weren’t made to do most all of the parents baby sitting duties they could not pull this off.
This is also their business.
At that advanced age this is ridiculous IMO. Made for TV IMO.
I have one due in January (#10). However, it is statistically improbable that I could go from 10 to 20 in the next 6 or 7 years ;-).

Three sets of triplets should get you close.
Hope all is going weill in your pregnancy
