This is a mother whose kids put her on a pedestal:
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Michelle Duggar just delivered her 16th child, and she’s already thinking about doing it again.
Johannah Faith Duggar was born at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday and weighed 7 pounds, 6.5 ounces.
The baby’s father, Jim Bob Duggar, a former state representative, said Wednesday that mother and child were doing well. He said Johannah’s birth was especially exciting because it was the first time in eight years the family has had a girl. Jim Bob Duggar, 40, said he and Michelle, 39, want more children.
“We both just love children and we consider each a blessing from the Lord. I have asked Michelle if she wants more and she said yes, if the Lord wants to give us some she will accept them,” he said.
Yes, it sounds like they were blessed — or, rather, their nearby grocery store was blessed. AND:
The Discovery Health Channel filmed Johannah’s birth and plans to air a show about the family of 18 next May.
THIS JUST IN: They may run shows about births in the family as a monthly series…
Jim Bob Duggar, who sells real estate, previously lost his bid for the U.S. Senate. He said he expects to run for the state Senate next year but isn’t ready to make a formal announcement.
His problem is he has no time to campaign at night.
Her kids put their Mom on a pedestal. They have to — to keep her away from Dad.
