As an aside, our community is completely covered in snow and refuses to warm up til after Christmas, they say. In fact, more snow and wind is forecast for Saturday-Sunday and into the wee hours of Monday. I LOVE IT! It is soooo fun!
Today is one of those days we are doing almost nothing. Except tonight is date night, so we're going to... wrap presents.
Romance is not dead.
Better than last year, where we went nuts on Christmas Eve.
Anyway, I love this family. I love how they put themselves out there for all the world to see, because they obviously are not afraid of criticism. They take great care of each other as a family, and they keep a great website. And they'll probably be grandparents soon, since one of their kids got married last year.
God bless the Duggars!
Arkansas family welcomes 18th child, a girl
1 hr 5 mins ago AP – In this Aug. 2, 2007 file photo, Michelle Duggar, left, is surrounded by her children and husband Jim … ROGERS, Ark. – An Arkansas woman has given birth to her 18th child.
Michelle Duggar delivered the baby girl by Caesarean section Thursday at Mercy Medical Center in Rogers. The baby, named Jordyn-Grace Makiya Duggar, weighed 7 pounds, 3 ounces and was 20 inches long.
"The ultimate Christmas gift from God," said Jim Bob Duggar, the father of the 18 children. "She's just absolutely beautiful, like her mom and her sisters."
The Duggars now have 10 sons and eight daughters.
Jim Bob Duggar said Michelle started having contractions Wednesday night. She needed the C-section, her third, because the baby was lying sideways. Jim Bob said both baby and mother were doing well Thursday night.
"We both would love to have more," he said.
The cable network TLC broadcasts a weekly show about the Duggars called "17 Kids and Counting." Chris Finnegan of TLC — which handles public relations for the Duggar family — said the show's name would be updated to account for the latest addition to the family. He said TLC also will air a show Monday on the baby's delivery.
Jim Bob Duggar is 43, a year older than his wife. Their oldest child, Joshua, is 20.
The other Duggar children, in between Joshua and Jordyn-Grace, are Jana, 18; John-David, 18; Jill, 17; Jessa, 16; Jinger, 14; Joseph, 13; Josiah, 12; Joy-Anna, 11; Jeremiah, 9; Jedidiah, 9; Jason, 8; James, 7; Justin, 6; Jackson, 4; Johannah, 3; and Jennifer, 1.
"Our whole family is excited about Jordyn's addition to our family," Jim Bob Duggar said. "She's just perfect in every way."
