Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, who became well known after a series of documentary television shows on TLC and Discovery Health, announced this morning on the Today show that they are pregnant with their 18th child. Michelle, 41, is currently six weeks along in her pregnancy and due on New Year's Day. Michelle joked,

"We've had three in January, three in December. Those two months are a busy time for us."

Jim Bob added that,

"The success in a family is first off, a love for God, and secondly, treating each other like you want to be treated. Our goal is for each one of our children to be best friends, and everybody working together to serve each other makes that happen."

The new baby will join siblings Joshua, 20, twins John David and Janna, 18, Jill, 16, Jessa, 15, Jinger, 14, Joseph, 13, Josiah, 11, Joy-Anna, 10, twins Jedidiah and Jeremiah, 9, Jason 7, James 6, Justin, 5, Jackson, 3, Johannah, 2, and Jennifer, 9 months.

I remember seeing the show. It used to be so common to have large families, partly because more kids meant more work could be done to keep the family going. Plus Birth Control was considered somewhat immoral until the recent decades. My dad had 10 siblings, and my mom had at least 8..

Just imagine how many Grandkids the parents here will be have the kids grow up...

How retarded, and all they're names start with a J... it seems like a ****** sitcom.

Having kids is great, but these fu***rs have really gone too far. I mean 5 kids is a heck of alot, I can't imagine how they afford this, or transport the family.

Explain once again why it is so ****ed up and retarded.

Having kids over the age of 40 is a bit risky, tho'.

Ugh...agreed on both points. The "J" names are just odd. And MAN...what they are doing is pretty serious. Even in the past gone by (The Medieval Period and the Victorian Era, for example), 10 is usually the limit. They are really pushing the mother's body to the most extreme, that's for sure.

How do they take care of so many kids? And I am not just talking financially. Kids need attention and personal time. They cannot all be used to do chores and take care of younger ones.

They're rich. They've got all their finances taken care of. No debts at all. Plus they get paid for their reality show on TLC.

Jim Bob Duggar is a former politician. He served in the Arkansas House of Representatives from 1999 to 2002. They're real estate agents and own several commercial properties. So they get money from that as well.

One or both parents are always around cuz their office is at their 7000 square foot house. And Im sure the oldest (he's 20) doesn't live with em anymore.

**Jo Dawn** · 05-10-2008, 10:37 AM

I say, if the kids are happy and they can provide for their family, then go for it. I saw their shows; they were showed or assumed to be very happy. They have the money and they have the love.

And the 'J' names are fine. First off, I've seen stuff like that alot; even going down the alphabet. And secondly, at least they're not naming them some things that celebrities name their kids, hehe.

**GK Punk** · 05-10-2008, 10:46 AM

I'm going to name all of my kids Dave.

Even the girls.

*Sewer Bull* · 05-10-2008, 10:51 AM

I thought you'd go for Rob, to honor both RVD and me

**GK Punk** · 05-10-2008, 10:57 AM

Oooh good call. Their names will now be Rob!

Peanut · 05-10-2008, 12:31 PM

Is anyone else just depressed that there's a site called www.celebrity-babies.com? I mean, seriously. Get a life.

**GK Punk** · 05-10-2008, 12:43 PM

WOW that's pathetic.

*Mecha Cow* · 05-10-2008, 02:15 PM

How can they even remember all those names? Damn. Jinger isn't even a name.

Good for them I guess, but it kind of seems like they keep having kids just for the sake of it.

Hey... That's practically my home page these days! I go there everyday!!

But seriously... all those kids having a J name isn't unusual. I have TONS of cousins with K names. K and C are like the 2 most popular names in my family. Whenever my aunt Holly is pregnant we're all like "Another K is coming!"

As for Jinger...it's pronounced Ginger. I've got over 30 cousins and I remember all their names. Most of em have major weird names too.

*Buslady* · 05-10-2008, 08:47 PM

18 kids....
...nah I'll keep my comments to myself.

*Hannah* · 05-10-2008, 09:55 PM

Whatever, I'm gonna have more.

Ra · 05-10-2008, 10:01 PM

...um...dare I ask how many you have in mind Hannah?

*Hannah* · 05-10-2008, 10:06 PM

If I get knocked up every 10 months starting when I'm 20, I can have, what, 24 kids by the time I'm 40? Sweet.

*Ninjinister* · 05-11-2008, 12:28 AM

I have a cousin that has three children. He wanted all C names. So there's Corey, Crystal and... Cyle (pronounced Kyle). Yeah... I still don't get that one.
