Couple welcomes 17th child

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - It's a girl - again - for Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, the proud parents of 17 children.

And after Jennifer Danielle was born Thursday morning, her parents already were talking about having more children.

"We'd love to have more," Michelle Duggar said, adding that the girls are outnumbered seven to 10 in the family. "We love the ruffles and lace."

The family's home in the northwest Arkansas town of Tontitown includes dormitory-style bedrooms for the boys and girls, nine bathrooms, a commercial kitchen, four washing machines and four dryers.

The children are home-schooled by Michelle Duggar, 40. The oldest is 19 and the youngest, before Jennifer, is almost two years old. The family includes two sets of twins.

"We are just so grateful to God for another gift from him," said Jim Bob Duggar, 42, a former state representative who sells real estate. "We are just so thankful to him that everything went just very well."

All of Jennifer's siblings also have names that start with J. They are: Joshua, 19; John David, 17; Janna, 17; Jill, 16; Jessa, 14; Jinger, 13; Joseph, 12; Josiah, 11; Joy-Anna, 9; Jedidiah, 8; Jeremiah, 8; Jason 7; James 6; Justin, 4; Jackson, 3; Johannah, almost 2.

True that. In England you can make a lot of money in benefits by having children and not working.

LMAO....

So, anyone know what the deal is here? Is it a religious edict that they are following or are they just enjoying themselves WAY too much?

They do make a quote about being grateful to God and they home school their children. And the names are pretty religious. These are all coincidental though and just point in the direction of it being a religious edict. I can't say for sure though.

My friends and neighbors in my hometown had a family photo of 20 in their living room, all 18 kids from same mom and dad. They could hardly remember all the names, birthdays, etc..
