Sunday Rewind

Taking a blogging day off today, so I thought I'd rewind back a few months and recycle one of my favorite posts. Enjoy!

So we had this discussion on The Nest about the Duggars, the family who has 17 children and evidently is now pregnant with the 18th one.

If you don't know who they are, here is a little blurb from their website:

Jim Bob & Michelle Duggar married July 21st, 1984. At that time, they chose to use the birth control pill. They thought, “We don’t want children right now. We can’t afford them. We want children in our timing, when we’re ready.” Four years later they decided to have their first child. Then, Michelle went back on the pill, but she conceived and had a miscarriage. At that point they talked with a Christian medical doctor and read the fine print in the contraceptives package. They found that while taking the pill you can get pregnant and then miscarry. They were grieved! They were Christians! They were pro-life! They realized that their selfish actions had taken the life of their child. They prayed and asked God to forgive them, and to teach them to love children like He loves children. They asked God to bless them with as many children as He saw fit in His timing. Right after that Michelle got pregnant with twins! To date they have been blessed with 17 children, (10 boys and 7 girls) Joshua, Jana & John-David (twins), Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, Josiah, Joy-Anna, Jedidiah & Jeremiah (twins), Jason, James, Justin, Jackson, Johannah, Jennifer (and #18 due in January 2009!).

Several thoughts came to my mind....

First of all, the husband's name is Jim Bob. Enough said.

Second, when are they going to stop this insanity? When her uterus falls out, or they run out of "J" names?

Third, who are they kidding, those kids are raising each other! Because evidently Mom and Dad are too busy doing the horizontal bop in an effort to add more tax deductions.

I really just pray that woman runs out of eggs soon.
