The Duggar Family ready for 18th child

By now almost everyone knows of the Duggar family, the incredibly large family in Arkansas. Their family is about to get larger since it’s been announced that Michelle Duggar is pregnant with her 18th child.
I’m all for families deciding for themselves what number of children is right for them and I would never criticize someone for choosing to have an only child, a ton of children, or no children at all. Still, from a personal point of view, I am exhausted just thinking of that many kids! I know that the older ones help out a lot around the house and with the younger ones, but Michelle has been pregnant for the equivalent of eleven years – that is TIRING. I’ve had enough pregnancy for the rest of my life with just the two times, I can’t even imagine being pregnant that many times.
It will be interesting to keep an eye on this story. While I could never have a family of that size, I am intrigued by it!
What size of family is right for you?
I love the Duggar family, she is amazing at how well she deals with everything. I am the third of four girls but I think whatever I got would have been ok. I only have one little girl but that is enough for me right now, lol.
