Arkansas Mother Gives Birth to 16th Child
By MELISSA NELSON, Associated Press Writer

Wednesday, October 12, 2005

Michelle Duggar just delivered her 16th child, and she's already thinking about doing it again. 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. Johannah's birth was especially exciting because it was the first time in eight years the family has had a girl, he said.

Jim Bob Duggar, 40, said he and Michelle, 39, want more children.

"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 in a telephone interview.

The Discovery Health Channel filmed Johannah's birth and plans to air a show about the family in 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 from the northwest Arkansas town of Rogers 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 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.

Michelle Duggar, 39, had her first child at age 21, four years after the couple married.

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; Jackson Levi, 1; and now Johannah.

It's the Crystle Gayle Butt Crack Mullet Hair Do

superspaceboy said:

All of the female children have long hair, too. I bet it's part of their fundamentalist religion or something, that women can't cut their hair and that they have to breed as many children as physically possible until their bodies completely give out.

hey...they do seem pretty religious...

"go forth and multiply"





that's one CRAZY BITCH


2 MAX for me...

Jim Bob!

Horny sumbitch....

hehe...I grew up in a regional school district..one of the towns that went to our school was mainly populated with families such as that. They (in my situation) were mostly of finnish decent but their religion was apostolic lutherans (sp?) very strict...no TV, no rock and roll, no drinking or smoking ofcourse, and NO sex till marriage and once married no birth controll.
there were tons of families with 10 plus children.
but all the kids drank and smoked like crazy and slept around. lol

They like the letter J dont they?

this kind of shit is so far removed from my entire realm of experience that i can't even properly comment on it, other than to share my mom's response to me when i was a kid and i asked if i'd ever get a little brother or sister. she said two words: "NEVER AGAIN".

I am willing to bet dollars to donuts that every time they have had sex...she has gotten knocked up.

How do you make a household of 17 people run smoothly? What is a typical day in your lives?


Our #1 goal is to lead our children to seek a close relationship with God & give Him every area of their lives. We purpose to start each day with a family Bible study, reading a chapter of Proverbs that corresponds with the day of the month. We have heart to heart talks with each of the older children regularly. We try to keep up with their attitudes & actions.

We desire for each child to develop a learning spirit & a servant’s heart that looks for opportunities to serve others. It’s a joy to see our children becoming best friends. If they can learn to treat their brothers and sisters like they want to be treated, then they can learn to get along with just about anyone along life’s way.

Our daily routine begins with personal hygiene (get dressed, brush teeth, comb hair, etc…). Each older child has a younger buddy or two that they help. We eat breakfast & read Proverbs at 8:00a.m., then we ‘quick clean’ the house (older child & their buddy work together to clean their jurisdictions).

Throughout the day we try to pickup as we go along, but naturally things tend toward disorder. So, it is a constant training process with ‘quick clean’ times throughout the day. At 9:00a.m., the older children help their buddies with their studies in phonics, math, violin & piano (J-O-Y- Jesus first, Others second, & Yourself last!). Then the older children start their music & individual studies- math, English, spelling & typing.

We break for lunch at 12:00pm. Jill (age 13) prepares lunch & we all help cleanup. After lunch we work to finish individual studies.

At 1:30p.m. the little ones go down for naps (4 & under). Momma & older children are around the table at 2:00p.m. for Wisdom Booklet group studies - science, history, law, medicine. We work on one subject until we complete the study. We also review & memorize scripture, hymns & operational definitions of character qualities. The children especially enjoy this because they make up motions to help with memorization.

At 4:00p.m., we break from group study to complete individual studies, otherwise this is free time. We have dinner at 5:00p.m. Jana (Age 14) prepares dinner & everyone helps cleanup. We do another ‘quick clean’ of the house after dinner & then have free time. Some may still be finishing up music, seeing we have to take turns with one piano to 11 students! 8:00p.m.is snack time. Then we get ready for bed (baths, brush teeth, pick out clothes for next day).

9:00p.m. is Bible time with Daddy. This is probably our favorite time of day. Daddy reads the Bible & we discuss the passage together. We talk about the day & bring out points of how to apply what we have learned. We enjoy making up skits & acting out examples of right responses & wrong responses. Often our little ones will fall asleep as Daddy begins Bible time, still they love to be with us at this special time. Bedtime is 10:00p.m.

We have a master schedule of each family member’s responsibilities displayed on our dining room wall. This idea came from the Maxwell's, “Managers of Their Homes”. For each month, we also have individual daily checklists which cover schoolwork, chores, music lessons, & personal hygiene. These were designed by Daddy so we could see at a glance how each child is doing. These checklists enable us to keep our children accountable & also reward them accordingly.

We have goals, but then we have reality! We are learning to practice flexibility-Not setting our affections on ideas or plans which could be changed by God or others! Sometimes we have ‘Daddy Days’ when Daddy overrides the schedule and takes the children out for family time, a field trip or a service project. We try to make each day fun. Everyday is an exciting adventure!

Her: are they ALL ours?

Husband, yes dear, they are.

Her..~feigns memory loss~ who are you? nuuuuurrsssee! get this bad man away from me!!!!!

So she has spent most of her life on her back? Do they have nothing else to do? There is something sick about that.

This is why they homeschool all of their children:

Deut.6:5-7; says, “And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, & with all thy soul, & with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, & shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, & when thou walkest by the way, & when thou liest down & when thou risest up.”

"For us to be able to train our children throughout the day in this way as God commands, we knew we could not send them off to school. So, we committed to home schooling & we are so thankful we did! God has given us oneness in spirit. Also, learning together is so much fun!"

technically...that's only 12 times worth of sex. not all that much really...considering.

superspaceboy said:

i love tater tots too much to waste them.

Anxiety said:

I think what gets me is the 2 LBS of meat and the 6 LBS of tater tots to make this meal. It's all about Daddy's favorites.

Spats said:

No more like she spends her days with a kid on each tit while she cooks and irons and cleans and changes diapers and sews the holes in all the kids clothes. All this while being constantly pregnant. Loretta Lynn wrote a song about this...called Ones on the way..

But here in Topeka the rain is a fallin'
The faucet is a drippin' and the kids are a bawlin'
One of them a toddlin' and one is a crawlin' and one's on the way

But here in Topeka the screen door's a bangin'
The coffee's boilin' over and the wash needs a hangin'
One wants a cookie and one wants a changin' and one's on the way

Here in Topeka the flies are a buzzin'
The dog is a barkin' and the floor needs a scrubbin'
One needs a spankin' and one needs a huggin' Lord one's on the way
Oh gee I hope it ain't twins again

daddy nasty.

Anxiety said:

Much of thier time revolve around [i]Daddy. Take a glance at thier itinerary for the day. I'd be looking for the razors if I was in that family. Wonder what'll happen if one of em turns out gay. 1 in 10 you know...soon they'll be hitting 20 and the chances are even greater. I'm sure the parents think that the gayness will be prayed out of em by then.
