I don't have any kids, so the Duggars can have mine also. Josiah is my favorite Duggar child, but they are all sweet.

LOL.. well the idea used to be just to replace yourself. Sounds like the government scam of allowing companies to buy "credits" to allow them to pollute more than allowed. ========= Last night I still couldn't find any news beyond the 18th and it sounded guarded but optimistic from Michelle. No time to search this morning but I'm also of the opinion that no news can be good news.

I think they are a wonderful family, I will not judge them for their family size. They all seem well taken care of.

I saw something about Michelle being at a protest yesterday or the day before. Will do some digging and see if I can find it.

Found it. So Michelle is obviously doing well and I would assume she wouldn't leave the hospital for any length of time if she didn't feel the baby was at least stable. Michelle Duggar Protest Just days after giving birth to a premature baby, and as that baby lay in the ICU, Michelle Duggar was protesting a nearby EZ Mart's request for a beer license. And local residents aren't happy about it, slamming the mom of 19 children.

LOL.. well I guess Michelle doesn't believe in others having free choice.. I hardly see that just having alcohol available in a city/town is "bombarding" her children with it. But.. if she is feeling okay to travel back to her home town, away from the hospital and her new baby, I'd hope that means the baby is doing well. Hopefully she pumped before she left.

Hopefully she pumped before she left. Oh, gosh, I hope not. She doesn't need Baby J #20 just yet. Oh, wait...you mean.... Nevermind.

Seamonkey I thought the very same thing when I saw that article!! I was raised in a dry county in Oklahoma and then stayed in a dry county in Texas a couple of years ago. People just go to the county line...the liquor stores are lined up right on the county lines. If someone wants some booze they will get it. Me thinks Michelle may have some control issues that she doesn't show us on tv!

LOL Bee.. I of course meant leavinb behind breast milk for Josie.. thought of that because Jim Bob mentioned that being good for Josie in one of his earlier announcements. I just thought it was not only a bit controlling but really I'd have an awfully hard time being pried away from a premie of mine to travel however far she was lifeflighted away from home just for that. Write a letter to the editor via email! But of course she has her free speech just as I do, so it is all good, I suppose.

I'm with you Sea, hoping that since she left it means the baby is doing better. But I can't see how I would be able to do it either. Maybe if one of my other kids were sick or something, but to protest? *shrugs* To each his own, I guess.

since we have never really seen or heard of her taking an 'activist' position previously, i figure she must have felt very strongly about this issue to leave her baby.

BTW - The county where the Jack Daniels distillery is located is a dry one. It took a special act of the TN state legislature to allow the sale of their liquor in the store there on the premises. Just an interesting trivia tidbit -

Thanks so much for that update!! I've been so sad today, having been checking all night on one of my caringbridge kids I follow.. he "earned his wings" earlier today and then found that one of the teenagers with rhabdomyosarcoma had passed on the 22nd.. So I'm happy that Josie is at least hanging in and that they will all be in one place and nearby.

Because the premature birth of their 19th child in an emergency C-section requires extended hospitalization, the family has leased a home in Little Rock so they can stay close. The house? The historic Cornish House on Arch Street. The paradox -- Hilda Cornish was an early Little Rock advocate of family planning. From the Encyclpedia of Arkansas: Cornish’s husband committed suicide in 1928. After his death, she devoted much of her time to reform and social work. In the summer of 1930, she met Margaret Sanger, the founder and leader of the American birth control movement. The two developed a friendship maintained by correspondence and occasional meetings. During that summer, Cornish visited Sanger’s Clinical Research Bureau in New York, and she launched the Arkansas birth control movement later that same year. At Cornish’s initiative, a group of physicians, business and religious leaders, and women active in civic work formed the Arkansas Eugenics Association (AEA). Rabbi Ira Eugene Sanders said, “It was suggested that because the movement might evoke criticism on the part of the rather orthodox and staid community, that we call it the Arkansas Eugenics Association on the grounds that nobody would object to being well born.” In early 1931, the association opened the Little Rock Birth Control Clinic in the basement of Baptist Hospital. There, poor white women could get contraceptives at a time when men and women urgently sought to limit the size of their families. Arkansas Times

Dare we hope that some of Ms. Cornish's vibes linger in the atmosphere?

Had a flashback to the original movie Cheaper By The Dozen (we checked it out from the library!) A Planned Parenthood Representative was given their address saying they might be interested - the mom was stunned, called the dad - and he whistled for the kids - the horror on that woman's face as she ran out of the home - ah yes, good movie!
