Holy cow, this is unbelievable! Managing 2 kids can sometimes be challenging so just imagine 17. That's more like having a mini-army around the house...LOL


LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - It's a girl — again — for the Duggars. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar welcomed their 17th child, and seventh daughter, into the world Thursday.
Jennifer Danielle was born at 10:01 a.m. at Saint Mary's Hospital in Rogers, Ark., the Duggars said in an interview. Jennifer weighed 8 pounds, 8 ounces and arrived five days after Michelle's due date.
Less than 30 minutes after giving birth, the Duggars already were talking of having more.
"We'd love to have more," Michelle said, adding that the girls are outnumbered seven to 10 in the family. "We love the ruffles and lace."
Jennifer joins the fast-growing Duggar brood, who live in Tontitown in a 7,000-square-foot home. All the children — whose names start with the letter J — are home-schooled.
The oldest is 19 and the youngest, before Jennifer, is almost 2 years old.
"We are just so grateful to God for another gift from him," said Jim Bob Duggar, 42, a former state representative. "We are just so thankful to him that everything went just very well."
Jennifer joins siblings Joshua, 19; John David, 17; Janna, 17; Jill, 16; Jessa, 14; Jinger, 13; Joseph, 12; Josiah, 11; Joy-Anna, 9; Jedidiah, 8; Jeremiah, 8; Jason 7; James 6; Justin, 4; Jackson, 3; Johannah, almost 2.
The family includes two sets of twins.
Michelle Duggar said that Joshua, Janna, Jill and Jessa were at the hospital, but that the rest of the family planned to visit their new sister later Thursday.
Michelle Duggar said she started feeling contractions Wednesday night and went to the hospital at about 5 a.m. Thursday.
"It actually went fast," she said. "I guess once I started progressing, it went within 30 minutes."
Jennifer was born via a VBAC — or vaginal birth after Caesarean, Jim Bob Duggar said.
The Duggars have been featured on several programs on cable's Discovery Health Network. The next special, the Duggar Family Album, is scheduled to air next month, Jim Bob Duggar said.
Among the "fun facts" listed on Discovery Health's Web page devoted to the Duggars: A baby has been born in every month except June; the Duggars have gone through an estimated 90,000 diapers, and Michelle, 40, has been pregnant for 126 months — or 10.5 years — of her life.

Ok i live in Utah and there are alot of LDS (mormon) families. They are generally known to have large familys. What I feel bad about it, they are usually not the wealthiest of families and the kids all wear hand me downs it is sad. Not that kids need the best of everything, but these families just keep popping them out and can barely make ends meet because of all the costs involved with having a child. On top of that, I wonder how all the children feel about having that many siblings. Do they feel neglected because at age 4 they are taking care of themselves because mommy and daddy have 3 more kids under them that are not able to care for themselves. I mean how can they possibly spend quality time with everyone of their kids when they have 17? I dont see how everyone in the family can have all their emotional needs and love met with that many.. I just think it is sad. The funny part of it is the dad's name is JIM BOB, sounds like a hillbilly name and I giggled at that!
Damn sorry for the RANT of DEATH! I just see this in Utah everyday and it angers me so much!

[MissBGlam]

Why do people with big families like to name their kids with the same letter? I mean doesn't that get kinda confusing?
