The Saint Mary’s Hospital from Rogers, Arkansas, has been the place of another miracle, as on Thursday a couple has welcomed there their 17th child. It seems that Michelle Duggar and Jim Bob Duggar are still living in the hippie era when “Make love, not war!” was en vogue. The child is a girl and she weighed 8 pounds and 8 ounces. She has been called Jennifer and she will not be the couple’s last child, as her parents have been planning already to have even more children after less than 30 minutes after Jennifer’s birth.

Michelle Duggar herself has been reportedly said that she would “love to have more” children. All her 17 children’s names start with the letter “J” and they are home-schooled. The oldest one is 19 years old and the youngest one, before little Jennifer, is about 2 years old. There are also two sets of twins in the Duggars large family.

Jim Bob Duggar, the father, is only 42 years old and he is a former state representative, who is now a real estate seller.

 "We are just so grateful to God for another gift from him," said Jim Bob Duggar, a former state representative. "We are just so thankful to him that everything went just very well."

The Duggars have appeared till now on several programs on Discovery Health Network. A “Duggar Family Album” has been already scheduled to air the month to come. The channel has dedicated a full web page to the family and according to this web page Michelle Duggar has been pregnant for about 10.5 years of her life.
