Just the headline alone makes me feel tired, for some reason...
Michelle Duggar just delivered her 16th child, and she's already thinking about doing it again.
| "Hey, y'all! Look what happens when we do this!" |
Johannah Faith Duggar was born at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday and weighed 7 pounds, 6.5 ounces. The baby's father, Jim Bob Duggar, a former state representative, said Wednesday that mother and child were doing well.
| That's gotta be an alias. Nobody's named Jim Bob anymore... |
He said Johannah's birth was especially exciting because it was the first time in eight years the family has had a girl. Jim Bob Duggar, 40, said he and Michelle, 39, want more children.
These folks could get top dollar to repopulate some of those fading EU countries, methinks. A decade here, a decade there, voilà! She's 39 and had 16 children. Sorta brings new meaning to the phrases "baby factory" 'barefoot and pregnant", etc.
"We both just love children and we consider each a blessing from the Lord. I have asked Michelle if she wants more and she said yes, if the Lord wants to give us some she will accept them," he said.
| I like ice cream, but usually a cone at a time is more than enough... |
The Discovery Health Channel filmed Johannah's birth and plans to air a show about the family of 18 next May. The Learning Channel is doing another show about the family's construction project, a 7,000-square foot house that should be finished before Christmas. The home, which the family has been building for two years, will have nine bathrooms, dormitory-style bedrooms for the girls and boys, a commercial kitchen, four washing machines and four dryers.
| Jim Bob's wallet apparently has some heft to it... |
Jim Bob Duggar, who sells real estate, previously lost his bid for the U.S. Senate. He said he expects to run for the state Senate next year but isn't ready to make a formal announcement.
| In a few years he'll have his own voting bloc... |
Michelle Duggar had her first child at age 21, four years after the couple married.
Waited 3+ yrs, huh? Hell, they could easily have 18 by now if they hadn't dawdled at the starting line...
Their children include two sets of twins, and each child has a name beginning with the letter "J": Joshua, 17; John David, 15; Janna, 15; Jill, 14; Jessa, 12; Jinger, 11; Joseph, 10; Josiah, 9; Joy-Anna, 8; Jeremiah, 6; Jedidiah, 6; Jason, 5; James, 4; Justin, 2; and Jackson Levi, 1.
Words fail... but I'm guessing they don't waste too much time talking, anyway. |
