Frankly, My Dear…

Actually, it’s Jim Bob and Michelle’s seventh girl! Not to worry–they also have ten boys! And expressed the wish to have more!! That’s a total of 17 kids! I know you can add, I’m just trying to wrap my mind around the number! They have two sets of twins. Well, thank goodness for small favors! This woman has been pregnant for 10.5 years of her life! YIKES! The oldest is 19 and the youngest is 2! AND….they’re home-schooled! How do they even have time to have sex?? Obviously, they’re managing, but really!! All the kids’ names start with a J and they’ve had a baby born in every month but June.

“We are just so grateful to God for another gift from him,” said Jim Bob Duggar, 42, a former state representative. “We are just so thankful to him that everything went just very well.”

Amen to that. The mother is 40 and they could be getting into dangerous territory as far as safety is concerned.

They’ve been the subject on the Discovery Channel:

UPDATE: Saw them on the Today Show this morning and the older kids were asked if they felt like they had not gotten enough attention and they said no, they didn’t feel that way. They were shown driving a motor home but it wasn’t mentioned if that was their mode of daily transportation!
