It seems that the TLC program “18 Kids and Counting” is going to have to get a new name. On Tuesday, Michelle Duggar announced on her blog that she and her husband Jim Bob are expecting again.
“Can
you imagine? I thought my baby years might be behind me, but now we’ve
learned we are expecting baby #19 in March!” she said.
Michelle,
who will be 43 this month, said she is having morning sickness with
this pregnancy, just like with all the others. Small snacks throughout
the day keep her energy level high and help lessen the queasy feeling.
“I keep almonds in my purse, and I don’t know if it’s the protein,
iron, or whatever, but it keeps me going. I might snack on pretzels,
and
small little bits of protein during the day.”
The Arkansas mom,
whose oldest son and daughter-in-law are expecting their first child in
October, noted that she does not think it’s strange for them to be
pregnant at the same time. “My oldest sister Pam was expecting when my
mom had me.
I grew up with my nieces and nephews around all the time, and we were
all so close. I wish that for my grandchild and this baby.”
After 18 children, the couple should have no problem bringing another into the family. Congratulations!
