’19 Kids and Counting’…+ 1!

The weary stork to visit the Duggars…again

Jim and Michelle Duggar, stars of the TLC series, 19 Kids and Counting, made an announcement on Today this morning: they're going to have augment that title. Again.

With no further ado, here's the clip.

That's right, the crazy fertile Arkansas couple are three and a half months pregnant with their 20th child. Very soon they will be able to field their own football team with offensive and defensive squads, if the parents play.

Michelle, 45, explained their thinking: "There's always room for one more." Actually, you're kind of pushing the limits of that philosophy. The Duggar brood extends in age from 23 years to minus six months. Also you exhausted the number of names that can start with the letter "J" a long time ago.

The latest addition comes as something of a surprise only because Michelle's last pregnancy was fraught with medical issues, including pre-eclampsia which can result in dangerous spikes in blood pressure for the mother. Baby Josie had to be delivered by emergency C-section three months early.

On the plus side, the Duggars do not lack for babysitters.
