I've had 3 live births - the last one my obgyn talked to me about the shape and problems these "big babies" have done - I cant imagine how they are birthing so many with no complications for the moms (I guess I just am obsessed watching them thinking, why are they doing so well? after so many?) But they are... just incredible... wonder, if we only hear of the successes? and then I am remembering the mom, was it Andrea Yates? any way I think it had to do with Post Part Dep, and the dh had wanted more kids - I"m rambling..

I get what you are saying Reader, I could never be married to a Duggar...lol I have high risk issues and after this one is born, my shop is closing up for good! Some people's bodies can handle it I guess and I am not one of them! I wonder too if we only hear of the successes.

the pregnancies are awfully close together for their to be many failures between them.

Is it my imagination, but does daddy Duggar remind anybody else of Jack McBrayer, who plays the folksy NBC paige named Kenneth Parcell on 30 Rock?

I've never seen that show Naja, sorry! I'm looking forward to seeing the wedding show. I wonder how often Josh and Anna stop by his parents' place - it would be such a shock to go from living with a horde of people to just one other person! Actually I am surprised if she is not pregnant yet!

Do they even know anything about sex? Seems like a pretty repressed group to me. If Josh has a car dealership, he may be hurting with the current financial mess.

it is a used car dealer, from what i understand. Not sure if business is good or not. Probably doing better that if it were new cars. I can't imagine dating w/o kissing and some sort of intimacy. I don't think they even kissed on the cheek. Very odd in this day and age. But, whatever works. There are millions who opted for other choices and got divorced anyway. I'm surprised she is not pregnant yet, too. Who knows, maybe they will announce on the show.

From http://www.duggarfamily.com/aboutus.html "Jim Bob & Michelle Duggar married July 21st, 1984. At that time, they chose to use the birth control pill. They thought, “We don’t want children right now. We can’t afford them. We want children in our timing, when we’re ready.” Four years later they decided to have their first child. Then, Michelle went back on the pill, but she conceived and had a miscarriage." It goes on to tell the revelation they had from that, and on a bit more.

HEY, Michelle can get pregnant again, and they can have a child and grandchild that are the same age! Do that a few times and.....well it's good they don't go to public school. The teachers would be REALLY confused!

Trust me - we teachers have seen situations WAY more complicated than that! You get pretty good at asking "politically correct" questions before conferences so you have some clue who you'll be speaking to when they walk in the door. Actually, teens are usually pretty open about all the sordid details, so the pc questions help to "tame" their answers!

Totally missed the birth! My TiVo didn't catch it I guess. So are they going to rename the show?

For anybody else who missed the new baby show, And Baby Makes 18, it's repeating tonight. TiVi shows the following dates for new episodes: Sunday January 25 Once a Bride, Always a Duggar about Josh and Anna planning their wedding. Tuesday January 27 I Left My Duggar in San Francisco about Jim Bob and Michelle leaving the kids home while they go to San Fran to celebrate their 25th anniversary. Tuesday January 27 Duggars on Safari about Jim Bob and the kids volunteering at the Wild Wilderness Safari. On Discovery Health Channel Wed January 28 there's an episode called Wedding Prep that shows up as first run I don't see it anywhere on TLC, so not for sure if it's actually a new episode, or the same one as the Once a Bride, Always a Duggar that's on TLC Jan 25.

On my Channel (TLC HD Canada) the wedding episode is called: A Very Duggar Wedding. Same episode I wonder or just getting creative with the title to get folks to think its not a repeat and watch again?

Commercial just showed the Duggars are on the view tomorrow. While my TiVo taped the show with the new baby, what TLC said was on wasn't on and I got some show about vertically challenged people.

it was a cute. I think the Duggar daughter that was commenting a lot, maybe Jinger?, is really pretty.

The father-in-law with his speech about Josh now being in charge of his daughter Anna as is says in the bible made me want to vomit. Sorry, I don't remember the exact wording, probably blocked it to save my sanity. Josh, grabbing her for the much lauded 1st kiss made me laugh. I still think they are very awkward together and don't know each other. The waiter was funny. Many of their views are far too conservative for me.
