Woman gives birth to 16th child!

39 year old Michelle Duggar gave birth to her 16th child with husband Jim Bob. All 16 kids have a name beginning with the letter “J”.

There’s Joshua, 17; Twins – John David & Janna, 15; Jill, 14; Jessa, 12; Jinger, 11; Joseph, 10; Josiah, 9; Joy-Anna, 8;
another set of twins – Jeremiah & Jedidiah, 6; Jason, 5; James, 4; Justin, 2; Jackson Levi, 1; and now Johannah. Is your tongue tied yet?

I saw a special on The Learning Channel (TLC) last year about this family. All of the kids were extremely well behaved, well spoken, well dressed and looked genuinely well cared for, loved and happy. The older kids look after the younger ones – in my opinion, kinda missing out on their childhood a bit, but it’s nice for them since it is all they know.

Anyway, they have a bus, yes I said a BUS, for transportation. It is a production trying to take my ONE baby out, can you imagine packing up the bus with all 16 kids for even a simple trip to the grocery store. Who am I kidding? Simple it is not. A trip to the grocery store for the Duggars is equivalent to a day trip for the rest of us. Their pantry was amazing – huge – like the size of my entire kitchen! Each bill must be several hundreds of dollars. How do they afford it? How do they handle all those kids? Personally, I can’t imagine, but kuddos to them.
