LITTLE ROCK - 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.

My grandmother had 16.
Hold the Grand Canyon jokes.
Sounds to me like March and April are the busy time for them (if you know what I mean).
Amazing what a woman’s body can endure. God Bless her.
I’ve got 3, two are teens, and what a pain in the rear they are sometimes! Hope she’s got a supportive husband.
At 41 she has plenty of time to make it a nice round 30 children. Anyone wonder why the earth is so over populated?
Oh No - not the Duggars again.
Next they’ll be building separate compound houses when their elder kids start replicating.
The up side is, that they can financially take care of them.
My guess is, that their children might go in a different direction.
GROUCHO: “18 kids!”
WOMAN: “Well, I love my husband”.
GROUCHO: “I love my cigar too, lady, but I take it out of my mouth every once in awhile”.
I, for one, hope the parents are not Democrats
More power to them. Family values seem to run deep there. GOD bless and I wish them all rich full lives.
My thanks to this woman, doing the work most Americans won’t do! Because of her, my wife and about 14 other women are free to have only one child without feeling any guilt about not reaching “replacement levels”. So cheers to her!
“At 41 she has plenty of time to make it a nice round 30 children. Anyone wonder why the earth is so over populated?”
Hey, the 3rd. world is overpopulated — population obesity if you will.
Western white Christians have population annorexia.
Did you ever think that with a birth rate of 1.8 per woman in the USA (That includes Hispanics) this couple has managed to make up for 8 or 9 women not having any kids at all?
We need more Christian couples like this.
I have my hands full with three. I simply cannot imagine what’s involved with eighteen!!
“Anyone wonder why the earth is so over populated?”
Only in certain parts. At least they’re not Muzzies.
“My thanks to this woman, doing the work most Americans won’t do! Because of her, my wife and about 14 other women are free to have only one child without feeling any guilt about not reaching “replacement levels”. So cheers to her!”
Yeah, many conservatives are willing to fight and die for their country but not reproduce for their country?
No wonder we’ll all be speaking Mexican in a couple of generations.
I was going to make a joke, but no. Large families are already the target of hate and ridicule. I’ll not pile on.
May G_d continue to bless her and her family with health and strength.
