Despite major health complications in recent years, Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar are still trying for their 20th child together, a new report indicates.

Michelle confirmed that the TLC couple, who viewers saw celebrate their 29th wedding anniversary on last night’s 19 Kids and Counting, is TTC.

As in trying to conceive.

While hoping that they’ll be blessed with another pregnancy, they’re simply "enjoying their grandbabies" and are "thankful and grateful" for their other 19 kids.

Michelle Duggar, for the record, is 47 and has been married to Jim Bob for 29 years, meaning she’s pretty much been pregnant for their whole relationship. (And she also makes a mean Duggars tater tot casserole recipe!)

 

Their 19th child, born in 2009, was born prematurely and experienced major health problems. Michelle suffered a miscarriage with their 20th baby in 2011.

Perhaps, one could argue, they are pushing it at this point?

Do they have a bonus clause in their deal with TLC if they make it to 20? Do they have one more "J" name they’re dying to use? Are they addicted to reproducing?

It’s unclear, but they’re clearly as gung-ho about it as ever.

To each their own. Since they live debt free and have clearly made their enormous family the foundation of their life, should anyone really judge the Duggars?

Not exactly Octomom Nadya Suleman here. Just saying.

You tell us: Should they have a 20th child?
