Duggars Introduce Newest Baby

January 31, 2010 By Sally


The whole Duggar family is no stranger to the limelight. They have been featured on TV, magazines, newspapers and every member of the family is used to the coverage. Last year, Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar announced that they were expecting their 19th child. Naturally, they were once again exposed to publicity.

On December 10, 2009, Michelle gave birth to Josie Brooklyn. She was born prematurely, at only 25 weeks’ gestation. The much awaited birth of the Duggars’ 19th child was a mixture of joy and anxiety as being born at this stage is a very dangerous affair. Indeed, Michelle has said that if her baby were born many years ago, she probably wouldn’t have lived even for an hour.

Yet seven weeks later, baby Josie Brooklyn is very much alive and doing quite well. In fact, the Duggars have finally introduced her to the rest of the world by releasing her photos. When Josie Brooklyn was born, she weighed a mere 1 lb and 6 oz. Today, she weighs 2 lbs. and 3 oz.

The whole family has been with her the whole time, moving temporarily from their home in Tontitown, Arkansas to Little Rock. Her current “home” is the intensive care unit of the Arkansas Children’s Hospital. The Duggars are quite happy with her progress and are very thankful for the doctors and the nurses that are taking care of baby Josie. They continue to express their thanks and say that they are hopeful that everything will turn out for the best.

Duggars Get Ready For 19th Child

Everyone knows about the Duggars – the Arkansas family composed of 20 members: 2 parents and 18 kids. Jim and Michelle Duggars got married in 1984, and while they started using the Pill in the beginning, bad experiences with it led them to decide to use natural birth control. Since then, their family has grown to a size that is not normally seen these days. The Duggars have attracted a lot of attention – they have their own web site and have even made numerous TV appearances.

Now you would think that having 18 children would be enough to take measures NOT to have more. It’s not so for the Duggars! They have managed to raise their children in an amazing way, and their lives are perfect examples of practical living. Actually, just recently, they built a 7000 sq. ft. home debt free!

Their adventure is not over yet, though – eight months after Michelle gave birth to Jordyn-Grace (the 18th child), she found out that she was pregnant again! She is due to give birth in March, several months after the first Duggar grandchild is due. Yup, the eldest son, John, and his wife, Anna, are expecting their first child in October. This family is something else, isn’t it?

Number of kids aside, the Duggars have been role models for many families around the world. Jim and Michelle have done an astounding job in raising their children. Perhaps more parents out there – new and experienced alike – might learn a thing or two from them!
