Mom of 18 children pregnant again

In this Aug. 2, 2007 file photo, Michelle Duggar (L) is surrounded by her children and husband Jim Bob (L-2) after the birth of her 17th child in Rogers, Ark. The 42-year-old Michelle Duggar has given birth to 18 children in the past 21 years and is worthy of the name super-mom. Now, she has discovered that she is pregnant again.

In March next year, she will give birth to her 19th child. Although they have so many children, Michelle Duggar and her husband Jim Bob are still expecting more children. The couple once said "One of our goals is to encourage families and parents that marriage can be strong even if they have kids."

"We are so thrilled," says Michelle.
"We just couldn't believe it is happening." Her husband agrees:

"This never gets old. We are so grateful for each child. We are looking forward to our first grand baby and our 19th child."

Michelle's husband has his own magic-mantra "buy used and save the difference" which leads him incurring no debts whatsoever. People usually assume that the family needs public assistance but that is untrue. Jim Bob, a previous state representative, is now a land agent and has a considerable income, enough to raise the big family.

Some words come loaded with connotation. I think of deep words like Christian or love: the words themselves seldom do the meanings justice. They are better understood by observing–by showing, not telling. “Quiverfull” is one of these words. It is no surprise that shows like TLC’s John & Kate Plus 8 and the Dugger Family Show have done so well. Viewers are allowed a glimpse into the quiverfull life, to observe the claims in action. We finished our Reuters and CBS interviews last week. The picture above was taken by Rick Wilking who will also be doing the article on what it means to be “quiverfull” CBS plans to have a show (maybe even a few shows), the Jeubs being one of the families featured. These two media opportunities attempt to answer the question: What does “quiverfull” mean? I suppose a show is much better than an essay, but the question still deserves a rhetorical answer. This article will attempt to explain the quiverfull idea, at least what it means for the Jeubs. More images after the break...
