Happy Mother's Day: Woman pregnant with 18th child

By JILL ZEMAN, Associated Press Writer 5 minutes ago

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - It's a happy Mother's Day for an Arkansas woman — she's pregnant with her 18th child.

Michelle Duggar, 41, is due on New Year's Day, and the latest addition will join seven sisters and 10 brothers. There are two sets of twins.

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

The Duggars' oldest child, Josh, is 20, and the youngest, Jennifer, is nine months old.

The fast-growing family lives in Tontitown in northwest Arkansas in a 7,000-square-foot home. All the children — whose names start with the letter J — are home-schooled.

Duggar has been been pregnant for more than 11 years of her life, and the family is in the process of filming another series for Discovery Health.

The new show looks at life inside the Duggar home, where chores — or "jurisdictions" — are assigned to each child. One episode of the new show involves a "jurisdiction swap," where the boys do chores traditionally assigned to the girls, and vice versa, Duggar said.

"The girls swapped jurisdictions, changing tires, working in the garages, mowing the grass," she said. "The boys got to cook supper from start to finish, clean the bathrooms," among other chores.

Duggar said she's six weeks along and the pregnancy is going well. She and her husband, Jim Bob Duggar, said they'll keep having children as long as God wills it.

"The success in a family is first off, a love for God, and secondly, treating each other like you want to be treated," Jim Bob Duggar said. "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 other Duggar children, in between Joshua and Jennifer, are Jana, 18; John-David, 18; Jill, 16; Jessa, 15; Jinger, 14; Joseph, 13; Josiah, 11; Joy-Anna, 10; Jeremiah, 9; Jedidiah, 9; Jason, 7; James, 6; Justin, 5; Jackson, 3; and Johannah, 2.

She must have a cast iron uterus to have given birth that many times and still be walking.

I think its cute. If they can love, care and afford for them all more power to them

I've watched their TV specials before. They seem like a cult unto themselves. Girls all wear the customary smock dresses, etc. I feel bad for the kids because they are in charge of their younger siblings and really don't seem to be able to act like kids.

Why do you say that? They want that many kids, they take great care of their kids, and they are not a burden on society.

Why has she "lost her mind?"

Saw part of the Discovery channel show on them when they were building their new house...she was expecting #17 at that time...

It's a 3 bedroom house.

Granted, the kids rooms are like big institutional wards with bunk beds lining the walls, but come on

Although, they can afford it, never been on public dole and not hiding themselves from the outside world like some cult, so... more power to them.

Cheaper to buy/make dresses like that. And they all have to do their part for the family, so they have to take responsibilty. They don't have TV either, but can you imagine the arguments over which channel to watch? I only have three kids and those arguements make me want to chuck the TV sometimes.
