You just can’t stop those breedin’ Duggars. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, stars of the reality television show “19 Kids and Counting” on TLC, are both way too old to be having any more children. Considering the fact the Duggars just had a baby girl named Josie Brooklyn in December 2009, they should still have their hands full with toddlerhood. Don’t tell that to them, though. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are expecting a 20th child, as the family announced yesterday.
“Jim Bob and I are excited to announce that we’re pregnant with baby number 20. We’re due in April and I’m feeling great. All of the children are thrilled and we’re looking forward to welcoming this precious new addition to our family,” said Michelle Duggar, age 45.
For those that don’t remember, pregnancy 19 for Michelle Duggar wasn’t a very good one. She spent a great deal of time in the hospital due to medical problems and the baby was born 3 months early. The 1-pound 3-ounce premature baby spent a lot of time in the neonatal intensive care unit, but she is now a healthy toddler. I hope for the best for both mother and baby, because her 19 other children need their mother, but there comes a time when your personal philosophy on pregnancy becomes less a moral stand and more a death wish.
