Daily Duggar Update: Apparently #19 has been born.

[Bunny]

My daughter, who is in school right now and really should be paying attention to her studies, just texted me to say that Michelle Duggar has birthed her 19th baby. I checked on the Duggar website and this one wasn't due until mid-March. If she really did give birth today, the baby is very premature. I wish mother and baby well.

I don't have a link, but if you'd like, I can have my daughter text you with the news.

1. I guess it's true:

2. I hope it is all right, and I hope they take this as a sign that their babymaking

days should come to an end. I can't even imagine the toll having so many belly-to-belly pregnancies took on Mrs. Duggar's body. Perhaps it's gotten to the point where she just can't safely do it anymore.

3. OK Lounge, this is our chance to show some real class.

Best wishes for both mother and baby and good health to them.

4. +1

6. good luck with that one

flame war in three, two, one

16. I hope they interpret it as a sign from God and just STOP.

If that's not a "best wish" for them I don't know what is.

21. I'm with you hedgehog. Just peeked at another

Duggar thread in which DU is not putting its best foot forward.

People on this site don't have to like this large fundie family. In fact I suspect many don't. However, the vicious attacks aren't necessary.

I'm not a fan, but happened to catch a snippet when the mom was being asked her feelings about Obama. She said he seems like a good family man and she wishes him well. The Duggars aren't my cup of tea, but I don't think they're evil and I do wish the mother and latest newborn all the best.

24. I watch the show and love it.

I'm an only child, so the Duggars fascinate me. I really do hope the baby will turn out to be healthy and happy. Michelle and I are the same age, 42, and I'm surprised this hasn't happened before. They've been very lucky up until now. Our political beliefs are different, and we disagree on certain points of religion, but I like the Duggars. All the children seem very happy, and when you watch the show, you see they really do have their own personalities and they're not angels all the time. I saw an episode last week where a little brother tried to take a toy from his sister, and she punched him! With so many boys around, the Duggar girls are NOT sissies.

5. premature emergency c-section. in other words, STOP IT

They have taken the gimmick too far. Save some oxygen for the rest of us

7. Perhaps this is mother nature's not so gentle reminder that a woman's

body has its limits. That said, I wish nothing but the best for the family and this latest baby - at 1 lb 6 oz she'll need lots of medical attention plus well wishes and good thoughts. It is not the baby's fault that her parents have been reproducing at a staggering rate.

8. What'd they name this one?

Jacuzzi?

[LibDemAlways]

10. Josie Brooklyn.

[Drunken Irishman]

11. Next child will be Jazzy Harlem...

[MissMillie]

12. or Jaded Madison?

I really do hope the premie pulls through and that her mom is ok.

I just figure they've got to be running out of names by now.

[Drunken Irishman]

I do too.

It'd be awful if either child or mother died. But I think this is a sign to stop it.

Another:

Jumpin' Jack.

18. Not if they run Linux:

22. Oh that's brilliant ...

Love it.

[Deja Q]

27. "Wandering Wildebeest"?

Oh, wait, that will be Ubuntu 11, my bad...
:hide:

[RoyGBiv]

28. I gotta wonder ...

... the the names for Ubuntu aren't all located at the bottom of the Cosmic Bong.

[TK421]

29. The mothers name really should be Holland Tunnel n/t

[Drunken Irishman]

9. Hopefully the dingbat realizes this is God's way of saying STOP without actually harming either.

Good luck, though. Hopefully she takes this warning sign and does something with it. It'd be horrible if the next child killed her and the baby.

13. That poor baby

Mother's body is just worn out.

Hope baby is okay.

[cherish44]

14. Oh that poor baby girl

Really Michelle's been pregnant nonstop for 20 years, I'm sure her body is worn out. Time for Jim Bob to get a new hobby. Best wishes for mom and baby and I hope the Duggars make wise decisions in the future.

17. And, poor older sisters

If she survives, they will probably have a disabled sibling to babysit/raise along with all the others they now tend.

[LibertyLover]

15. Between the large number of pregnancies Mrs. Dugger

has had over the last several years without giving her body a chance to recuperate properly, plus her having been hospitalized for a gallbladder problem last week, I'm not surprised to hear this. I hope that both she and her newest baby do well and are ok.

[Zomby Woof]

19. Stewie Griffin was possibly referring to Duggar when he said...

"So, is there any tread left on the tires? Or at this point would it be like throwing a hot dog down a hallway?"

[arbusto_baboso]

20. Note to the Duggars: a vagina is NOT a clown car.

'Nuff said.

[Rising Phoenix]

25. didn't we already have this discussion

[kimi]

23. That poor child

faces a lot of challenges, right from the git-go. I hope she's physically and mentally okay, and that the Duggars have some decent medical insurance. Otherwise, the upcoming medical bills will be staggering. Best wishes for the whole family.

[Deja Q]

26. Looking forward to the conception of #20! I hope TLC films it as a special event...

Y'all remember what that station did for #18, yes?

[XemaSab]

30. I'm sorry to hear this

:(
