Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar: Pregnant With Baby #20!

by at .

Make that 20 Kids and Counting. Michelle Duggar's fight for survival during her last pregnancy apparently wasn't about to stop her from getting back on the horse.

She and her husband, Jim Bob Duggar, are expecting their 20th child this spring.

"We are so excited," the 45-year-old mom and star of TLC's soon-to-be renamed 19 Kids and Counting said. "I feel good. I am past the sickness stage now."

Michelle added that there's "no greater love" than that of her children and that she has thought about her health status and is ready to have the new baby.

Jim Bob was "thankful" that yet another addition to the family is on the way. "I feel like the richest man in the world," he said to his brood.

The couple, who live in Tontitown, Ark., are already parents to Joshua, 23, twins Jana and John-David, 21; Jill, 20; Jessa, 19; Jinger, 17; Joseph, 16; Josiah, 15; Joy-Anna, 14; twins Jedidiah and Jeremiah, 12; Jason, 11; James, 10; Justin, 8; Jackson, 7; Johanna, 6; Jennifer, 4; and Jordyn, 3; and Josie, who turns 2 next month.

You don't see this every day: Baby #20 will be younger than his/her niece and nephew. Josh and Anna Duggar have two kids of their own.

    Good luck with your pregnancy. I grew up around very big families. Like one of my good friends was the 12 out of 17... The normal lds families had 10+ kids.. Im glad to see good family values and morals still with in this world... N no im not talking about polygamist families. They gave Mormons a bad name

    Money isn't the only way others have to support people's irresponsible procreation. We're rapidly getting to the point where the planet can't sustain all of us. If you don't understand how population growth affects us ALL, you're woefully ignorant. I'm not talking about 20 generations from now - we're looking at serious food shortages in a generaion or two. Did you know that in the US we eat over 300 million cows a year and several billlion other animals? It's TRUE. Educate yourselves, because one thing is for sure - the Duggars aren't. Speaking of which, the last thing we need is more people who are ignorant of everything but their parent's own beliefs - those kids may be well mannered, but they'r brainwashed to the umpth degree.
