Make That 19 Kids and Counting: Duggars Announce Another Child -- Popeater

[Mikki 316]

That is just so amazing! I think it would be awesome to have a houseful of children. We watch their show all the time, and record it (DVR) so we can watch together. I looked on the Duggar's website and found their household guidelines and these are really very well stated and one can understand how their children are so well behaved and respectful. I also find Michelle's voice and behavior very soothing, as does my DS. He is very rambunctious and when he watches the show, he becomes very calm and relaxed, and sits through the entire episode. What an amazing family. I'll definitely be watching the upcoming episodes. It's so refreshing, especially with all the drama going on with the "other" reality families.

I just read she is 8 months. Michelle is already 3 months along. I think that is ridiculous but to each his own.

could be 19 & 20 given her age-the chance of multiples increase with age!!

I think it's ridiculous as well. Michelle should be at least 6 months along....she's starting to falter.

IMO it's much safer to at least wait a year before getting pregnant again...but obviously they produce babies quite well and she seems to handle it well...it just wouldn't be for me....cause i don't like to be pregnant. So I have to gear up for months for it LOL

I come from a large (not that large) extended family and I loved seeing everyone and hanging out and really having my family be my best friends...it was great. I think that is a great attribute that the family has.

I do worry a little that something bad will happen....kind of like with each baby the "what if's" start....Not sure how long she can keep having normal healthy happy pregnancies KWIM. Or maybe I'm just jealous cause i only had one out of three LOL

And totally off topic: It sure looks like her older daughters taught her how to do her hair better LOL....she's finally lost those wings.
