The Duggars Announce Their 19th Child

In terms of the issue of overpopulation, the only possible news worse than this would be if Nadya Suleman announced another set of octuplets. The Duggar family has announced they are expecting another baby.

The lives of the Duggar family are detailed on the TLC show "18 Kids and Counting" (nee "17 Kids and Counting." Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are the parents, with 18 children, at least until now: Josh, Jana, John-David, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, Josiah, Joy-Anna, Jedidiah, Jeremiah, Jason, James, Justin, Jackson, Johannah, Jennifer, and Jordyn-Grace.

There is an obvious trend toward J-named Duggars there. This news comes only a few months after the eldest Duggar child, Josh, 21, announced that he and his new wife Anna are expecting their first child. One has to wonder if Anna is looking that possible devastation of her body in the future.

Michelle Duggar is 42, while Jim Bob is 44, if any are wondering about how much longer this can continue. Unfortunately for the world and natural resources being sucked into this one family in particular, the Duggars appear to have plenty of time to continue adding to their brood.

While obviously they are free to do what they want, one has to wonder why they continue to churn out kids. At any rate, they appeared on "The Today Show" and Michelle Duggar said:

“I love all of this, it is so fun. Anna and I will have babies five months apart. My mother and my sister were pregnant at the same time and it was really wonderful. The kids were really close and still are. I have a nephew who grew up with me, we’re just three months apart.”
