Mom delivers 16th child, thinking of more

LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (AP) -- Michelle Duggar just delivered her 16th child, and she\'s already thinking about doing it again.

Johannah Faith Duggar was born at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday and weighed 7 pounds, 6.5 ounces.

The baby\'s father, Jim Bob Duggar, a former state representative, said Wednesday that mother and child were doing well.

He said Johannah\'s birth was especially exciting because it was the first time in eight years the family has had a girl.

Jim Bob Duggar, 40, said he and Michelle, 39, want more children.

"We both just love children and we consider each a blessing from the Lord. I have asked Michelle if she wants more and she said yes, if the Lord wants to give us some she will accept them," he said.

The Discovery Health Channel filmed Johannah\'s birth and plans to air a show about the family of 18 next May.

The Learning Channel is doing another show about the family\'s construction project, a 7,000-square foot house that should be finished before Christmas. The home, which the family has been building for two years, will have nine bathrooms, dormitory-style bedrooms for the girls and boys, a commercial kitchen, four washing machines and four dryers.

Jim Bob Duggar, who sells real estate, previously lost his bid for the U.S. Senate. He said he expects to run for the state Senate next year but isn\'t ready to make a formal announcement.

Michelle Duggar had her first child at age 21, four years after the couple married.

What do you think this guy is thinking about right now?
"How the hell could I get myself into this mess. Oh, boy, I worked my entire life to take care of 16 ungrateful children. Damn ****, these kids can\'t be all mine!"
Just the beginning to a story we\'ll see on Cold Case Files.

This family is semi-famous for doing this. I remember seeing a PBS or other TV channel special about them

They have like a Bus they truck the family around in etc. All the older kids take care of the younger ones etc. They live a **** small house as well. They had all these elaborate schedules for when they could shower and stuff like that because there is so many of them lioving in that small house.

I think they may even all be home schooled as well. They are mormons if I remember correctly

There was a family who lived up the street from me growing up that had 10 kids. There was another one as well which died as a baby; if you asked the kids how many of them there were, they would say "10 plus the dead one." !

The mother also believed it was her "duty to god" to keep having babies.
