Nothing says Happy Mother's Day than finding out you're pregnant. With baby number 18.

Michelle Duggar is pregnant with her 18th child. According to this AP story, she's been pregnant for 11 years of her life. Her oldest child is 18 and the youngest, 9 months old.

I'm a mom. I know how exciting it is to be pregnant. And obviously I wish her a healthy pregnancy.

But wow. I had two kids. Giving birth 18 times. Ouch is an understatement (even with an epidural).

Can you imagine being pregnant and giving birth 18 times?

    I think it is their business if they choose to keep having more children. However, I do have to wonder why they wish to keep calling attention to themselves. I know they must get free incentives, etc. I also wonder about how this will all play out with the older children. I was raised in a strictly religious environment and know others who were as well. Rebellion is common. Will they be overproducers as well? I wonder what they truly feel when the cameras aren't rolling?
