I've actually watched the specials on this family and I must say that I commend them for having the drive and desire to have such a large family. I just wonder how does one care for that many kids?


Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking outside your body.

I instantly knew it was the Duggars as soon as I saw this posting, hehehe.
What I think is cool is that she had multiple natural births, a C-section (or two) and then VBACs.
I just have to wonder what the physical toll is on the body after that. I see what one has done to me, lol.

No kidding! I heard that it takes a woman about 2 years to get herself back after she has given birth. I'm having a hard time getting back just after DD let alone 17 others...lol.

It still amazes me that this is #18 for them. I read somewhere that they atleast wanted to try for 25 kids. I can't imagine the grocery bill for this family.

And then I read today that Christine Dobkowski in Belleview is pregnant w/ #8 and I'd forgotten the McClains have 11 kids.

(and due in June. I'm about ready to wilt in the heat already, lol, and I'm not pregnant and it's only May....I'm such a wimp w/ the heat for a 6th generation Floridian....)
