20 kids and counting! Michelle Duggar announces she's pregnant again

UPDATE: Thursday December 08, 2011
Michelle Duggar Miscarries
A day of joyful anticipation has turned to anguish for Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar.

At a routine check-up Thursday to find out the sex of their 20th child, their doctor was unable to find a heartbeat and told the couple they had miscarried in the second trimester........

OMG here we go again!!!!!! Please stop!
"Michelle Duggar and her husband Jim Bob are expecting their 20th child, the couple revealed exclusively to TODAY.

"We are so excited," Michelle Duggar told TODAY Moms before the broadcast. Now three and a half months pregnant, the mom of 19 says she was actually surprised to discover that she's expecting again at 45. "I was not thinking that God would give us another one, and we are just so grateful."

The super-sized family stars in its own reality TV show, "19 Kids and Counting," on TLC (guess they will have to update the title!).

When the Duggars visited TODAY last June, it was the longest Michelle had gone without a pregnancy in more than 20 years. Backstage, she told TODAY Moms that her baby days might be over -- and she was fine with that. But the Duggars have always said they leave their family planning up to God, eschewing birth control.

"When we look at Josie ... even knowing that we went through the challenge that we did, we would do it again," Michelle told TODAY's Meredith Vieira last year from the family home in Springdale, Ark.

Michelle Duggar's last pregnancy was fraught with danger. She suffered from gall-bladder problems as well as preeclampsia. In order to save her life, doctors delivered daughter Josie three and a half months prematurely -- she weighed only one pound, six ounces at birth, and endured a series of health emergencies, including a perforated bowel. Josie eventually went home with the rest of the Duggar family, and is now a healthy toddler who will celebrate her second birthday in December.

"The precious life that we see here is not a coincidence," Michelle Duggar told TODAY last summer. "I just know that it is a miracle. I don't take that for granted. I know that God is the one who gives life, and I'm just so grateful and thankful. We would welcome another if He saw fit, but we'll wait and see."....."

The Duggars are just another sideshow in the carnival. How many of you Christian pro-hyperbreeders out there would be as supportive of the Duggars if they were Muslims?

C'mon, be honest.

They say kids are so precious, so instead of making baby after baby why not adopt?

When is it enough? Time for the courts to step in and tell that bitch to close shop. No one needs more than two max. Hard enough to find a job as is. Mom and dad definitley aint paying college unless they caking off the show. Real world is gonna eat these kids asses alive because they so sheltered. No time for privacy at all in a full house. Bet mom and dad have to breed around the kids sleeping patterns. Im living a house of 6 and hate it. Though I had it bad.

@SquirrelsRockify Because, we're already living in an overpopulated world, and by the time you're 40, or by the time your children are grown up, there will be no food. Unless of course a large amount of the population is wiped out for some reason.
