Arkansas couple welcomes 17th child
By JILL ZEMAN, Associated Press Writer 55 minutes ago
It's a girl — again — for the Duggars. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar welcomed their 17th child, and seventh daughter, into the world Thursday.
Jennifer Danielle was born at 10:01 a.m. at Saint Mary's Hospital in Rogers, Ark., the Duggars said in an interview. Jennifer weighed 8 pounds, 8 ounces and arrived five days after Michelle's due date.
Less than 30 minutes after giving birth, the Duggars already were talking of having more.
"We'd love to have more," Michelle said, adding that the girls are outnumbered seven to 10 in the family. "We love the ruffles and lace."
Jennifer joins the fast-growing Duggar brood, who live in Tontitown in a 7,000-square-foot home. All the children — whose names start with the letter J — are home-schooled.
The oldest is 19 and the youngest, before Jennifer, is almost 2 years old.
"We are just so grateful to God for another gift from him," said Jim Bob Duggar, 42, a former state representative. "We are just so thankful to him that everything went just very well."
Jennifer joins siblings Joshua, 19; John David, 17; Janna, 17; Jill, 16; Jessa, 14; Jinger, 13; Joseph, 12; Josiah, 11; Joy-Anna, 9; Jedidiah, 8; Jeremiah, 8; Jason 7; James 6; Justin, 4; Jackson, 3; Johannah, almost 2.
The family includes two sets of twins.
Michelle Duggar said that Joshua, Janna, Jill and Jessa were at the hospital, but that the rest of the family planned to visit their new sister later Thursday.
Michelle Duggar said she started feeling contractions Wednesday night and went to the hospital at about 5 a.m. Thursday.
"It actually went fast," she said. "I guess once I started progressing, it went within 30 minutes."
Jennifer was born via a VBAC — or vaginal birth after Caesarean, Jim Bob Duggar said.
The Duggars have been featured on several programs on cable's Discovery Health Network. The next special, the Duggar Family Album, is scheduled to air next month, Jim Bob Duggar said.
Among the "fun facts" listed on Discovery Health's Web page devoted to the Duggars: A baby has been born in every month except June; the Duggars have gone through an estimated 90,000 diapers, and Michelle, 40, has been pregnant for 126 months — or 10.5 years — of her life.

*wipes vomit from mouth* Where do I send my congrats. ugh.
Ugh. It irks me when people decide to give their children's names a theme.
"They all begin with the letter J! Isn't that cool?"
No. It isn't cool at all. Your kids probably hate you. Especially the ones who got stuck with really crappy names (see: Josiah, Jedidiah, Joy-Anna) because they had to fit in with the theme.
It's almost as bad as when people give their twins names that are really similar (e.g. Timmy and Tommy).
With that many kids, at least one of them is bound to be an atheist. Then let's see who is so happy to have so many children. I feel bad for the mother. She's like a bitch in a puppy mill.
Perhaps Susan could go discuss spaying with her?

Or perhaps someone could discuss neutering the father? We could use a sledgehammer, a golf club, or even a flashlight. I have that flashlight.
Good night, funny man, and thanks for the laughter.
I actually don't see any evidence they are fundies.
Ummm, this:

Yipe. reminds me of this (please imbed if you can) :

For sure Matt, I thought of that movie as soon as I read the article.
For fucksake woman it's a vagina not a vending machine!
I guess they can't pretend to be celebate like most fundies. I wonder if they've ever heard of contraception.

LOL
As I was reading various articles about this family one described why the mom dresses the daughters the way she does... she likes the prairie look. She calls the daughters 'prairie muffins'.
Thanks for the imbed. I would have thought she'd have died from her pussy wearing out by now from that!

Out of 17 children, statistically at least 2 will be gay. I wonder what they'll think of that. I would suspect at least 1 will end up with drug problems, too.
I'd be happy to. Unfortunately, these people would be carbon copies of a few of the folks I have attempted to counsel in the past. You get the same stupid answers that included: "I want my children to witness the miracle of birth".
I had several suggestion to answer these replies. This was the one that got the most horrified reactions.
For every puppy/kitten your children see born, please take them to the shelter and have them witness the killing of that many healthy animals that are being killed simply because no one wants them.
As for this woman being like a bitch in a puppy mill. She'd probably be a lot better off locked in a small cage.
I would think these folks were doing a good thing if they were taking in abused and homeless children. However, spitting out baby after baby is irresponsible these days.
I sure hope they aren't on any kind of government assistance. It would really piss me off if my tax dollars were paying for any of that.
How are they going to pay to send those kids to college? How will they pay for that many daughters to get married? Hell, how do they pay their grocery bill?
NOTE: This is a much shortened version of my original post. It seems that I went on a late-night diatribe about spay/neuter, homeless critters and being a responsible pet caretaker. Trust me, be grateful I removed the other examples of the stupid stuff I heard when I was helping shelter pets get adopted.

Fucking bastards, it should be illegal to have so many children. They should realy make a law like this: Only the first 8 children will be born american, anything after that will be taken away from you and given to leasbian/gay parents.
Um, hello. Also known as a Ponzi scheme.
Not very Christian...
Nobody I know was brainwashed into being an atheist.
Why Believe?
Oh wow...
See, the really disappointing thing is that coming from my perspective, it's environmentally irresponsible to have that many kids. I feel almost as strongly about reducing the population as I do about atheism, and that's saying a lot.
I mean, shit! Here I am, one guy who's not going to have any children, and one stupid fucking family manages to obliterate my measly little effort to make the world a better place. I don't have one child, they have seventeen.
Yeah, idiocracy... not far away.
