Duggar family expecting 19th child
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar will have another child to replace the one that left the nest.Yup, that's right. The "18 Kids and Counting" couple have child No. 19 on the way, reports People. This time, Michelle Duggar was still breastfeeding when she realized she might be pregnant.
"I was in Weight Watchers with Jim Bob and I wasn't losing any weight," she says. "I couldn't figure it out. I was doing what I should. And the baby, who was nursing, was fussy. I kept thinking, 'This isn't right. She isn't teething, she doesn't have an ear infection. I'm not cheating on my diet, I should be losing weight.' Then, I put two and two together and wondered if I could possibly be pregnant."
Jim Bob, 44, and Michelle, 42, are both "thrilled" for the new baby, who should arrive in spring, a few months after their first grandchild, Mackynzie Renee is born to son Joshua, 21, and his wife Anna, 21.
Naturally, the new addition will also have a J-name, but the family will have to wait until the gender is determined before selecting a name.
As it stands now, the Duggars are the parents to Joshua (married), twins Jana & John-David, 19; Jill, 18; Jessa, 16; Jinger, 15; Joseph, 14; Josiah, 13; Joy-Anna, 11; twins Jedidiah and Jeremiah, 10; Jason, 9; James, 8; Justin, 6; Jackson, 5; Johanna, 3; Jennifer, 2, and Jordyn-Grace, 8 months.
"18 Kids and Counting" airs on TLC on Tuesday nights.
Are you happy for the Duggars or do you think it's time for them to give the nursery a rest?

Get this woman a tubal ligation!!! Or him a vasectomy. Or keep their "good news" to themselves.
As much as the Duggars think this is natural, it is not! I am especially upset when I think of all the children already here that could use love and a good home.
Oh leave them alone! If they can afford to raise their children without the help of government ***istance, and they can, and if they can love and nurture each child plus instill in them morals and values- then more power to them! I too believe children are blessings and God's will. This is a fine testiment that we live in a FREE country to do as we please as long as we stay within the realms of the law Go Duggers!! -
i think its their choice to decide..if they are not living of anyones tax dollars its not our business...
They need to stop! It's hard enough having one child. When watching them on TV it doesn't seem like a natural loving situation. They all seem prompted and scripted.It's time for her to put a stop to the baby making. You have several kids old enough (and one who has) to make babies. Stop it already!
Good God tell them to stop!
good for them, this is all Gods will. and i think they are raising a good family
His wife looks tired in the picture. Wonder if she's had surgery to "tighten" things up a bit?
Is it GODS WILL to have them promote themselves ALL OVER TV news shows? Give me a break! Put a plug in the lady and call it a day jesus you would think they were Mexican!
The world has an over consumption and population problem and YOU keep having kids? My gosh..it's okay not to reproduce! Enough already, keep it private!
