The official Duggar family discussion thread!

I'd love to see updated show from them. I've been checking TLC (I think that's the channel), but haven't seen anything lately.

I'm fascinated by watching their day to day activities. I have a hard enough time with 3 kids and the two I babysit; so am in awe of them!

I see nothing wrong with having so many kids as long as they are well taken care of as the Duggars seem to be!

He was not an Arkansas governor, I can tell you that much. I don't think he ever was a governor.

He was a State Representative.

I know there's a thread about them somewhere, dang if I can find it though.

Anyways...you'll never guess why I started this thread.

Oh wait, yeah you will.

They're pregnant with number 18 due around new years.

From what I have read (Guinness World Records), the record for births is 69.... oh, and the heaviest baby was 17 pounds....


OMG...

My mom works with a lot of teen mothers who also want as many children as God will allow them to have. It is sad to hear about 16 year old girls with 3 kids and pregnant with the 4th. You *think* that they are missing out on a lot, but this is what they want so they're not missing out on anything. 18 kids is a lot. Definitely not the life I would want. My whole life is already consumed by my 2. I couldn't imagine 18.

Of course it wasn't too long ago that 18 kids wouldn't have been that much bigger than normal.

I have never seen the show. But I commend her for being a "super mom". There is no way that her body is performing the way it ought to at this point. I wish her all the luck!

ETA: Just looked at their website and all of their kids have "J" names. That is funny. If it were my family it would all be "M" names (we are: Maya, Mike, Max and Mikaela and a dog named Maggie). I think they should name the 18th baby something without a J and surprise everyone. LOL
