Ok, she had a wonderful pregnancy and nothing went wrong. http://celebritydiagnosis.com/update-19th-duggar-baby-born-prematurely-due-to-complications-of-pregnancy-1925/ Oh and my bio father came from a family of 12. Their ages spanned over 25 years.

Twiggy, which pregnancy are you talking about? Since we have been talking about her current pregnancy, I thought you meant the one prior to this one when you said 'her last pregnancy almost killed her'. I had not heard that anything was wrong with #18. I was not challenging you in anyway. I truly was asking about it.

If I had a tail, I would be creeping in here with it between my legs and with my chin touching my chest & my eyes lifted (you know the look - the one your dog gives you when you get onto them). I'm pretty sure I'm the one that posted the "money hungry" words. Even if I'm not the one who posted this, I have thought this so I'm equally guilty. TLC has to pay them mega bucks to do this show. Even though they don't "advertise" the financial benifits of doing this show like Jon & Kate did, they're on the same network with a similar type show so - you do the math. Do they need TLC and this show financially? I believe they did or they would have never done the show in the 1st place considering the way they live their lives. Do they need to financially continue doing this show now? I would say no way but they realize that they have become interesting to those of us that are not like them and I thank them for not cutting us off. The TLC money coming in is securing all of those children's future. What parent wouldn't want to do that for their kids. I will exit this thread the same way I came in - moving very slowly & kinda looking back to make sure nobody's going to switch me.

LOL Texasdeb! I think they started the show with one or two documentary types show and then the series came about. They have said they wanted to do they show to show their values.

thanks, Texannie Jim Bob & Michelle are actually sharing the TLC wealth by allowing us to meet the Bates family. The Bates family is maybe even more interesting than the Duggar family. I know I would like to see more focus on the Bates family. Maybe, that's the Duggar family's way of "sharing the wealth" - I hope so. Those Bates kids are all good looking and well mannered too.

Ok - I'm just the person that feels......different. I still think they are doing this whole TLC exposure for the $$

I'd do it for the bucks in a heartbeat, but I'm afraid my life would just bore people into watching a different channel.

Truth is stranger than fiction...so they say. And I guess you can attest to that.

Oh I can well relate. I'd love to have that money. I don't blame them one bit for having the show.

I don't blame them for doing it for the money. What other reason would you do it? This enables them to provide better for the family and give them greater experiences.

I would like to see a Bates/Duggar wedding... I could totally see Josh and one of the oldest Bates (with the long blond curly hair...pretty). That would make a nice couple! In the Duggar's girls I think Jessa is interesting and more outgoing that her sisters. I would be curious to see what she decides to pursue in her future.

Just saw mom and pop Duggar on the cover of "People" magazine at the grocery store. The blurb said something about that they might have more kids - but then folks have - gasp! - been misquoted!

Since Josh is already married to Anna, I am thinking it wouldn't be too good if he married a Bates! LOL

He seems pretty happy in his marriage, so I don't think he's thinking of a Bates-Duggar merger. TNT, when they went for their ultrasound, they mentioned if there were TWIN girls then they'd have 20 kids: ten girls and ten boys. So I'd say at that time they were completely open to more than 19.

Sorry, LOL, I didn't meant Josh, I was thinking of John-David, the next oldest boy.

I would live to see more of the big family who play bluegrass. The Reichs? I can't think of their name, but they were featured when the Duggars went to help the Bates family with their home addition and a fourth family (Wilsons) came to help with construction, too. I'd love to see more of the Duggars' musical talents, too.

Don't believe everything you see on tv. If you lived in Northwest Arkansas, was a server in a restaurant and this family came in to eat without the cameras, you would have a different point of view. That is all I am going to say on the subject.

I'm sure the Duggar little ones are just like any other little ones when taken to a restaurant. Curious, active...you see that on the show all the time. I take it you're a server in a NW Arkansas restaurant and have this experience first hand.

I live in a part of the U.S. where there are lots of old-order Amish. I once commented to my neighbor that his many kids always seem so well-behaved. He said, "They're just quiet and shy around you English. At home they're just like any other children." The Duggar kids are no doubt the same.
