Arkansas Mom Prepares for Birth of 17th Child
Monday, May 07, 2007
LITTLE ROCK — The Duggars are once again pulling out the pink ruffles and lace as they prepare for the birth of baby number 17.
Michelle Duggar said Monday in a telephone interview from her northwest Arkansas home that the whole family is excited about the arrival of the baby girl they will name Jennifer Danielle, keeping with the family tradition of giving the child a name that begins with J…
“With each baby, God’s given me the grace and the energy to keep going, and they really keep you going,” she said… I don’t get up and play the games as hard as I used to, and I try to be a little more careful.”
Duggar said she and husband Jim Bob, a former state representative and U.S. senate candidate, view each phase of their children’s lives as an adventure.
The Duggars home school their children at their 7,000-square foot home in Tontitown. The couple’s oldest child, Joshua, is 19, and their youngest, Johanna Faith, is 19 months. Their children include two sets of twins.
Because the couple sees each child as a blessing from God, Michelle Duggar said they will, as long as she is able, accept each child they are given…
” so many people think ‘Oh you’ve got it all figured out,”‘ Duggar said. “I am still learning. Just when I think I’ve got something figured out I try it on the next one and it doesn’t work.”
The Duggars’ other children are John David, 17; Jessa, 14; Jinger, 13; Joseph, 12; Josiah, 11; Joy-Anna, 10; Jeremiah, 8; Jedidiah, 8; Jason, 7, James, 5; Justin, 4; and Jackson Levi, 2.
