ROGERS, Ark. (AP) — An Arkansas woman has given birth to her 18th child.

Michelle Duggar delivered the baby girl by Caesarean section Thursday at Mercy Medical Center in Rogers. The baby, named Jordyn-Grace Makiya Duggar, weighed 7 pounds, 3 ounces and was 20 inches long.

"The ultimate Christmas gift from God," said Jim Bob Duggar, the father of the 18 children.

Dang, that's a lotta kids! Y'spose they'll stop at 20? 2 dozen? How do you pay attention to that many? Or pay for them, for that matter? Wow!

A great Bob Newhart routine. The babysitting service receiving the call from Mrs. Duggar.

Obviously, they're both overachievers. Heck, after 9, I don't know how they found the time or privacy to make more!

That being said, Leslie's grandmother gave birth to 18 kids too, not all of whom survived childhood. It's just unusual these days.

My wife is one of 16 siblings. Not sure how they did it.

I had a high school classmate who had 12 by our 20th graduation anniversary. Her comment? "Yes, we do know what causes it." How many more in the next 18 years? I have no idea.

Having that many kids has to got to be bad for her body.

Well, if the "each kid takes two years off your life" thing holds true, she should be keeling over in 3, 2, 1...

Hey don't they live in Arkansas?

Maybe we should invite them to Gastons.

Oh wait...maybe not. I think all of them became airsick while taking a caravan flight of the Grand Canyon.

She must be nearing TBO. She's been preggers almost 1/3 of her life.
