Why is the and Counting crossed off in the title of the show? The show's name is 19 Kids and Counting not 19 kids.

LOL.. I guess we aren't counting anymore.. but if TLC is sending the message that there's another one coming.. well ICK, but now that the season has started, that certainly IS the title. I'll fix it up..

Article in People Magazine with cover shot of Michelle, Jim Bob and Josie .. Josie looking tiny but definitely looking larger to me, what you can see of her in her fluffy pink blankie and pink bow. Anyway the article is mostly about polarized opinions about the serial pregnancies and not waiting long enough between, etc. Not going into that here, but some facts of interest, especially for those craving Josie updates. At the time of the article, Michelle was still pumping breast milk for Josie, which means Josie is able to use a bottle, or at least get the benefits. She is "recovering from a bowel perforation" which is scary, but she is now over 2 pounds, up from her original 1lb 6 oz. Jim Bob said Josie has been off the ventilator for two weeks now and they are increasing her feeds little by little. They do say they want more kids but also say they will be concentrating on Josie for now. Now this part I'd never heard but they say they take a cue from the Bible and practice abstinence for 40 days after they have a boy and for 80 days after they have a girl. There is a picture of her in the article with her tiny hand grasping an adult finger.. just amazing! There seems to be a date of Jan 21 on the article so Josie may be even bigger by now.

Thanks for the updates, Sea. Did they say what chapter and verse in the bible suggest that? I am wondering if it's something in Leviticus that I must have skimmed over.

They said it is old testament under the law, but they think it not a bad idea. Makes good sense to me especially if you've had an episiotomy (sp) or a c-section.

It is Leviticus 12, 1-8. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus+12%3A1-8&version=KJV

Yep, OG is right.. Jim Bob mentioned the Old Testament. I had never heard of anything like that, for sure, but some period of time would have made sense I'm sure.. might have been to save the mom or more likely she may have still been concisered "unclean" . Oh, I just went to read it.. my guess was correct and they do use the word unclean. I'm thinking that the Duggars don't sacrifice a lamb and a bird, or a turtle.

No, the sacrifice was already paid. Sacrificial animals are no longer required.

Ok, to be fair, what was said was:
quote:Taking a cue from the Bible, the couple practice 40 days of absitnence after having a boy; 80 days after having a girl. "Not that we feel like we are under the Old Testament law," explains Jim Bob. "But there are spiritual benefits that come from that." Agrees Michelle: "It strenthens our relationship."
So I was really joking about the sacrficial animals.

That was interesting. I'll bet all of them are sure going to be glad to get home again...prayerfully with a healthy Josie.

I know you were kidding about the sacrificial animals...but I actually am glad to read that Jim Bob acknowledges that they aren't under Old Testament law.

Those seem to be more in line with the timeline of the show.. she seemed a bit larger in the pictures in People Mag but they are nice pictures.

I enjoyed the trip to the Red Cross to donate blood. Jim Bob is a big weinie! But at least he owns up to it.

OG, just reading your post is making me feel a little ill. If I ever watch the ep, I'll have to lay down to watch it. I'm not sure in what way Jim Bob is a big weenie, but it's probably the same way I am, the whole thing makes me want to pass out (and I usually do).

It was more that he is scared of needles. All the girls went grocery shopping afterward and they all were really 'drained' and couldn't wait to get home to take a nap.

i'm sorry, but giving blood, should be a choice not a command, and certainly not "surprise" field trip. I love the duggars, but Jimbob had not right to make his girls give blood. It should have been -- this is what I would like us to do -- whose in? Not we are going -- too bad, so sad..

^^ i agree. it put me off when he was surprising them with it. especially since a few of them are completely terrified of stuff like that. glad they all got through it ok but i really didn't not like his attitude of "well if i can get through it, then they can too"
