The Duggars Strike Again!!!

I can't believe it!! They announced this morning that they are expecting Baby 19!!!!! WTH!!!! They are going to be grandparents next month and then parents again in March. That is my Baby Month!!! :0) I was floored by this; I don't know why, but it makes me so angry!!!

I haven't thrown up today!!! WHOO HOO!!!!!!!!! (although I thought I might after hearing the Duggar news! =P) So far a good sign. I actually bought some maternity clothes yesterday. I tried on a pair of pants and started crying in the dressing room. I don't know what happened, I think it was just reality really setting in. My Mom just laughed and held me as the hormones took over! :0) I am really looking forward to seeing the baby again on Thursday. I will post after and let you all know how it went.

Are you f@#king kidding me?!? I thought for sure her ovaries would dry up by now. Ok, that's mean, but come on! When the rest of us would be happy with just one. Now I'm sure she'll have to make it an even 20!

That is absolutely ridiculous. Can't they let their son and his wife have the spotlight for a little while? What makes me sick about it is that they rely very heavily on the older children taking care of the younger ones. It's irresponsible.

wow. really? I would think her ute would just plop out right after the placenta....or when she pushed the whole kit and kaboodle would just plop out. Sooner or later she has to go into menopause right?

yeah, I think the Duggers are probably great parents...but seriously, 19?? My feelings are a little mixed - especially since I desperately want just ONE.

The way you girls feel about the Duggars and just wanting 1 kid is how us single girls feel about you all with your husbands. At least there is medicine you can take to help you be a mom; there's nothing to take to make me be a wife.

Okay now I am spitting nails.

19 kids. Seriously. I want 1. Just 1. I don't care if I have to go and pick it up overseas or foster a child. I just want 1. Someday, I have to remind myself.

@Anonymous- medicine is sometimes not always enough, hearing the words "We cannot do anymore" is far to often a reality. And with a price tag (try $10-15,000) attached to IF treatments- sometimes that phrase is said sooner than later. In our case, medicine is hampered by a price tag.

The path down the aisle takes longer than others. I waited almost five years after I wanted to originally get married (really wanted to be married out of college) but I went through graduate school, traveled extensively (and to some really cool places), got my job and really figured out who I was before I walked down the aisle. When I compare what I got to do to friends who got married when they left college, they didn't get to do the things that I did- some of their husbands even said that they could not go onto graduate school. Enjoy your life and may you NEVER have to walk down the road of infertility. It is a road I would never wish upon anyone and that INCLUDES my worst enemy.

I'm with you... 19 seems a little excessive.
