John and Michelle Duggar, those prodigious breeders, have welcomed their 19th child into the world. However, it’s not without a little bit of surprise. Michelle has been in the hospital to deal with a gallstone attack, when suddenly, she gets rushed into surgery. Not long after, their 19th child, Josie Brooklyn, was born via emergency cesarean section.
The premature baby was born at a startling low weight of only 1 pound, 6 ounces! Despite the low birth weight, the baby is stable and both she and mom are doing all right. No word on why the emergency C-section was needed, but considering how many kids she’s had, it’s kind of shocking Michelle Duggar can even carry a child anymore.
As a premature baby myself, I figured I was lucky to survive weighing only 2 pounds, 13 ounces at birth. I was positively robust compared to babie Josie. Here’s to mommy and baby having a happy, healthy holiday season!
