The Duggers have their 18th child

Give us another J!

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar of Tontitown, Ark., had their eighteenth child Thursday – Jordyn-Grace Makiya, who joins the rest of her J-named siblings.

Jordyn-Grace was born via C-section at Mercy Medical Center in Rogers, weeks before her due date of Jan. 1. She weighed in at 7 lbs, 3 oz and was 20 inches long.

"Mother and baby are resting and doing well," says a rep for the Duggar family, whose crowded house is featured on the TLC network show 17 Kids & Counting.

The newest Duggar has a lot of names to keep straight.

The other kids – who range in age from 20 years to 17 months – are Joshua (who married Anna Keller in September and says he is looking forward to the "blessing of children" of his own), twins John-David and Jana, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, Josiah, Joy-Anna, twins Jeremiah and Jedidiah, Jason, James, Justin, Jackson, Johannah and Jennifer.

Their parents married when Michelle was 17 and Jim Bob was 19. (Her mother had to officially sign permission.) After birth-control pills were blamed for a miscarriage, the couple decided to throw them out. They've had a new baby approximately every 18 months since.

"What really works for me is swaddling a baby and snuggling up," Michelle told PEOPLE in an interview last year. "I love that time of just bonding and nursing a little baby. And, with a new baby, I realize that I don't need as much sleep as I used to think I did. You learn. This time goes by so quickly. I look at my older children and wonder where the time went."

A special on Jordyn-Grace's birth will air Dec. 22 at 10 p.m. on TLC.

Jim Bob.

Heh.

[Mehe is F'n hardcore.]

That's nuts.

[EvilMasterBetty, Esq.]

C-Section?

Shouldn't that baby just slide out by this point?

I bet Disney make a movie about this family and they call it:

Well I'll Be Duggered!

SOMEBODY STOP THEM, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE.

I really do find them terrifying.

Why? From my understanding, they are a very religious family who takes that whole "be frutiful and multiply" (Genesis 1:28) Biblical verse very seriously. Plus, they can easily afford their kids, raise them very well, and are very loving of each and every one of them.

So what, exactly, is terrifying about that?!?

You know this is going to be like Maury trying to tell that lady that pickles aren't scary.

They give me the oogies. What else can I say?

[G✇JI☈A]

I guess she loves her husband a lot....



Well I love my cigar, too, but I take it out of my mouth once in a while.

Also: Does anyone know, with 18 pregnancies, exactly how much of her adult life that Mrs. Duggar has spent knocked up? I'd be willing to be it's quite the sum.

EDIT: According to my calculations, that's 13.5 years.

YOWZA.

That picture is, I'd say, about 5 years old?

[Johnny B. Decent]

Well, we know Mr. Dugger is potent.

[Shy Guy]

one kid every 18months....

[KStrick]

Does Mrs. Dugger ever have the "same feeling" that Oprah Winfrey gets:

[Jay Peas 42]

Yeah, yeah, a thread like this comes up every 4 months, usually when she gives birth, or announces she's pregant. My best answer is, deal. Your objections are rooted in cultural bias anyways.

Please do explain, oh knowledgeable one. I'd also like to know, while you're at it, why you had to be so snotty in your response.

I mean, your opinion is fine and all....but damn....I could almost SEE you looking down your nose at me as you said that, a martini in your hand and a long-stick cigarette between your lips.
