The Duggar Family, expecting #18

[Samo]

Some of you have probably heard or seen the Duggar family on TV. They are an American family with 17 children (oldest 20, youngest 9 months) and i just read the news and it said they are now expecting #18! O_O

She is due new Years Day...which is the day i am due . But gosh...18 children...there seems to be no end in sight for that family!!!

We've watched shows on TLC about the family. I don't know how any one can do it but they seem to be a very loving and happy family.

Part of me thinks their mad ... then the other part of me thinks its wonderful

I agree they seem wonderfully organized & loving. And financially they are kicking most people's butts!!! They pay for everythign cash - even their new house!!! Just a touch too religious for me.

they BUILT their new house as a family!! They are a very close and loving family, it really is amazing how well they all work and get along together.

With how I feel with this 1 pregnancy, where do they even get the time/energy/interest to actually make the baby?!?

Wow, brave is all I say, 18 kids would scare the life out of me!!!!

Oh no, not again. I wish she'd come on here and give us all advice haha. I remember reading about her when she had her last baby.

Although, in the past, there are families here who have had 21 children. I used to be friends with this girl when I was in primary school and her mom had 20 brothers and sisters. All from the same mother. Eeek.

i would love to have 18 kids or more but dont think i could fit them all in before i hit menopause but gonna give it a bloody good try lol

 

[Carley]

I'm really happy for them, if they are all happy, god bless

 

[leeanne]

Amazing, isn't it? I also heard they are not stopping at 18. They are going to have as many kids as possible before they can't have kids anymore.

She'll certainly need a tummy tuck when all is said and done. LOL

 

[BeckyBoo]

O_O. I'll stick with two ta lol.

I'd be paranoid I'd lose one of them or forget their names, she must have to do a head count when their all ready for bed!!!!

 

[icculcaz]

sod that!!!!!!

 

[Jo]

I think they need a telly or a hobby

Oh scratch that they have a hobby don't they?

 

[Deise]

They're a little over the top for me and theres not one sentence that doesnt include a Bible verse in it...

I applaud the woman for being a baby machine though. I dont think I could do it more than twice.

Funny - my dh brought this up today 'cause he saw a news story on them. I told him how on a tv special I had see they explained that everyone has a buddy in the family & they are responsible for helping out their buddy & making sure they know where their buddy is. He thought that was really cool - lol!

We want at least 4. Unfortunately it's taken a long time to get started & I am worried it might again for the next one. But only time will tell.
