Michelle Duggar just delivered her baby girl Tuesday. Her 16th child!!

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.

They did a tv program about this family. It is amazing that she can pull all of it off. She home schools all of them, each of the older ones have a younger one to watch and take care of. The babies don't get buddies until they are done nursing. Each child has several chores, dinner, laundry, cleaning, etc.. It was set up like boot camp. I don't mean for this to sound snarky, but the only thing the mom did was have the babies. When do these children get to be kids.
OH and the 7000 sq ft house is being built by only the dad and the oldest son who at the time was almost 16. More power to the family, but if the children ever plan a mutiny, the Duggars are in some serious trouble.
 
:jaw: forget it.. my good friend had 8 children, but one was miscarriage. so that be 7 kids. She is only 31 yr old. I hope she don't make any more. Cuz no way can afford them. But she love kids herself.
