It’s a girl – again – for the Duggars. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar welcomed their 17th child, and seventh daughter, into the world Thursday. <\/p>\n

Jennifer Danielle was born at 10:01 a.m. at Saint Mary’s Hospital in Rogers, Ark., the Duggars said in an interview. Jennifer weighed 8 pounds, 8 ounces and arrived five days after Michelle’s due date.<\/p>\n

Less than 30 minutes after giving birth, the Duggars already were talking of having more.<\/p>\n

“We’d love to have more,” Michelle said, adding that the girls are outnumbered seven to 10 in the family. “We love the ruffles and lace.”<\/p>\n

Jennifer joins the fast-growing Duggar brood, who live in Tontitown in a 7,000-square-foot home. All the children – whose names start with the letter J – are home-schooled.<\/p>\n

The oldest is 19 and the youngest, before Jennifer, is almost 2 years old.<\/p>\n

“We are just so grateful to God for another gift from him,” said Jim Bob Duggar, 42, a former state representative. “We are just so thankful to him that everything went just very well.”<\/p>\n

Jennifer joins siblings Joshua, 19; John David, 17; Janna, 17; Jill, 16; Jessa, 14; Jinger, 13; Joseph, 12; Josiah, 11; Joy-Anna, 9; Jedidiah, 8; Jeremiah, 8; Jason 7; James 6<\/a>; Justin, 4; Jackson, 3; Johannah, almost 2.<\/p>\n

Among the “fun facts” listed on Discovery Health’s Web page devoted to the Duggars: A baby has been born in every month except June; the Duggars have gone through an estimated 90,000 diapers, and Michelle, 40, has been pregnant for 126 months – or 10.5 years – of her life.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When your kids hit the teenage years any kids you have after that are just gravy because those older kids are like having built in babysitters. If I had started having kids in my twenties, I might be tempted to have another child now that my oldest in a teenager.
\nOne thing I can’t understand is how she gets her kids to dress alike<\/a>. My girls refuse to do that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
