Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar welcomed the newest addition to their family: their 17th - seventeenth! - child.
Oh, and two more things:

And after Jennifer Danielle was born Thursday morning, her parents already were talking about having more children.
"We'd love to have more," Michelle Duggar said, adding that the girls are outnumbered seven to 10 in the family. "We love the ruffles and lace."
Oh, and two more things:
All of Jennifer's siblings also have names that start with J. They are: Joshua, 19; John David, 17; Janna, 17; Jill, 16; Jessa, 14; Jinger, 13; Joseph, 12; Josiah, 11; Joy-Anna, 9; Jedidiah, 8; Jeremiah, 8; Jason 7; James 6; Justin, 4; Jackson, 3; Johannah, almost 2.
Among the "fun facts" listed on Discovery Health's Web page devoted to the Duggars: A baby has been born in every month except June; the family has gone through about 90,000 diapers, and Michelle Duggar has been pregnant for 126 months -- or 10.5 years -- of her life.

As for the population thing... It has been proven that for a population to not deminish, each family must have AT LEAST 2.11 kids. Right now in America and Europe each family is having on average 1.0 to 1.8. So why aren't these countries going extinct? Be cause Muslims are having 8.1... Yes, 8.1 kids per family. By 2039 France will be a Muslim republic at this rate. I hope like crazy that more people will be like the duggars.
I know 4 families of over 15 people and love each one. I plan on having a busload of kids also.
Good bye!
Using "J" names seems okay for the first 3 or 4, but starts getting a little creepy. Which one will they name Jesus?
They obviously don't believe in birth control - sinful stuff. Someone should take them to that condom fashion show in China.
