LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - It's a happy Mother's Day for an Arkansas woman — she's pregnant with her 18th child.

Michelle Duggar, 41, is due on New Year's Day, and the latest addition will join seven sisters and 10 brothers. There are two sets of twins.

"We've had three in January, three in December. Those two months are a busy time for us," she said, laughing.

The Duggars' oldest child, Josh, is 20, and the youngest, Jennifer, is nine months old.

Wow, and I thought my mom having 7 was big...

We have talked about the Duggars before. I am utterly amazed by their commitment and the way they are handling it.

Some people collect tea cups, this family collects children. If they can pay for them all, more power to them. If they are on the government dime, then someone needs to cut off the funds.

They are self-supporting.

While I was doing genealogy research, I learned that one of my relatives and his/her spouse had something like 22 children in about 24 years, including several sets of twins.

They are self-supporting.

This needs to be repeated:

They are self-supporting.
