Children are a true blessing...but when is enough enough? I am sure we all know people who for whatever reason continue to have children but this woman...Michelle Duggar, takes the cake. Her family are reality television stars of the show "17 Kids and Counting...", personally I have never watched the show, just because the mere thought of 17 kids is crazy enough, but for those family and friends of mine that have watched it find it amazing that there are no sibling rivalries or squabbles.
I am one of 5, 4 girls and a 1 boy, and to this day we still have the "you get on my nerves" conversation, so to hear that they exemplify the "perfect" family boggles my mind...
Another point is this...her body has to be tired! At some point when does her body say "no mas"...LOL...ladies help me out here, I am 41 and this woman is 42 and has been having babies for the last 20 years...TWENTY YEARS!!!!! The children range in age from 20 years-old to 1...and now baby makes 18...as I read the article below and read where the husband stated they would both love to have more...I thought were it him who had to have his body changing every year he would think differently...is it their religion or what, I have no clue...one thing for sure is that these two love to get busy...question is, how do they find the time with 18 kids and where do they get down with the get down...?
Here is the full story:

Arkansas family welcomes 18th child, a girl
Thu Dec 18, 8:46 pm ET AP
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. (her husband is nuts and so is she!)
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."
