Wow! Have you heard the news that Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar are expecting their 20th child? The news was just announced this morning on the Today show by the couple who were eager to announce that Michelle is now three and a half months pregnant and doing very well. After experiencing preeclampsia during her last pregnancy, resulting in an early delivery of their most recent addition, Josie, the Duggars are elated to to add another “J-named” child to their clan. I bet their stroller could definitely use a detail! Call us, Michelle!
In all seriousness though, hearing this news begs the question, how many children is enough? Some might say that whatever the Lord blesses you with is what you can handle and should embrace. Others may argue that sometimes fate makes an error and knocks on the wrong door. So what’s the right answer? Well folks, it all depends. Some moms are pros when it comes to children and can handle a whole brood, while others might be spread too thin in their lives and are good with only a couple of little miracles. You know which one you are, mommies. I'm leaning toward the ladder of the two. Children are the most wonderful gift a mom can be given, but they also come with other gifts - stretch marks, restless nights, dark-eye circles and slightly damaged bodies. I suppose if you are completely selfless, like Michelle Duggar, none of that matters to you, but really that’s a lot of little mouths to feed and bums to wipe. I don’t know about you, but I think the Duggars are nuts! I guess their older children can help take care of the little ones though, and it would be interesting to have a grandchild and a new baby around the same age. But really, they should stop at 20.
