Blessed event 18
OK, OK. Readers have been discussing this since last night but ..... In the dog-bites-man category, the Duggars have another. Wake me when 19 is on the way. They both say that's the plan.

Or, as in this case, you continue doing what turns out to be a great cash cow.

Maybe time flies, but I could swear that we heard of #17 around the 4th of July. Has Mrs. Duggar gotten so good at this that she's down to 20 weeks gestation for a full-term baby? Heck, most rodents aren't that prolific.

Cash cow indeed. I wonder if either Mr or Mrs Dugggar has given a thought to what
they would do should either of them pass away early?
Do they have $2 mill in life insurance on each of them.
Prospects of re marriage are kinda slim. But there's always a martyr in the waiting.

As my grandma used to say about Old Lady Mitchell and her crazy son, Otto.........
those two need to be in Benton.

After coming out on the other side of ONE gestational cycle with our incredible daughter... I've concluded that Michelle Duggar has to be one of the most impressive masochists I've ever heard of. I can't contemplate a second pregnancy, and she's aiming at 19? Wow.

I've seen this movie played out in Fort Baptist back in the 50s & 60s. Pretty soon Michelle is going to start spiting out parts, not whole babies and jumpin Jiminy ....it won't be pretty. Does Jesus also love parts of babies? Show me the scripture! Show me the scripture!

Largeazz, I thought you got banned as an early christmas present to the rest of us.
There IS no more God-fearing part of Arkansas than Fort Baptist unless its on there wherever john brown universititty is located.
what i want to know is how the hell Mrs. D. can keep 'em in there. I read that she gave birth to the last one by C-section but seriously, wouldnt she have to have a cerclage procedure to keep the kid from just sliding out? Not that I see anything wrong with that.
Kat, when I found out the second one was no easier than the first one (to be fair, we had complications that time) I quit. Nineteen is out of the question unless you want to keep me under general anesthetic for the duration of the pregnancy. 19? Count me OUT.
Did you ever notice, though, on those discovery channel specials, how much work the older kids all do in taking care of the younger ones? It's a lot, as in, most all of it. dont they assign each older kid a younger one to basically raise?

PVNasby, doesnt the Discovery Channel pay them really well for those specials? i know I read somewhere that they paid for that big house, although the duggars did most of the work. And their friends of course pitched in to build it. Good point about teh life insurance.
heres a scary thought: What if a Duggar mated with a Huckabee?

Tina, you're correct.
In "20 And Counting", the Duggars' new book, she talks about the myth of breastfeeding as birth control. She says that once she has a baby she nurses them for eight or nine months and then weans them. She has to wean them around that time because by then, she's pregnant again.
So, yeah ... all the older kids take care of the siblings while she pops 'em out like a clown car.
I dunno, maybe I am biased because I am not impressed by children but these people are irresponsible and disgusting.
