I hope Josie does well xx

Hopefully she's a little fighter

Hope that this turns out well worrying for any one poor baby.

Hope the baby is OK. What a worrying time for them all.

I am sat here though wondering what on earth that woman's pelvic floor muscles must be like after 19 kids - sneezing would probably make the kid fall out!

That is very preemie.

Oh no. All my prayers are with them.
I actually put their webste on my favourites after the last discussion we had about them. I really admire them as a family and as people who actually live by their faith and are not afraid to stand by that faith!
I know a lot of 'faithful' people who say they believe one thing but then their actions show me they believe in nothing! (for some reason a lot of them like to congregate on newspaper comments boards!)

I really hope that this latest little addition to the Dugger family has the same strengths as her brother and sisters and faith of her parents!

I do think that they should call a halt to be honest. not that it's anything to do with me but that amount of children really must take it's toll.

I think when you read and learn about how they all work together as a real family unit, which is so rare these days it really is heartwarming. I don't agree with everything they do like not putting the girls through college for example but I do think that each of their kids knows how much they are loved and valued and they in turn pass that on in a way. I said last time I wish they would adopt me! lol
I think the house that they built for themselves is probably my dream home and so much of its design is about inclusion for their family as a whole.
I have read some pretty vitriolic comments about them in the past and I always wonder why? I even argued once with one American newspaper reader who said how could those kids be normal if they can't just go to their own rooms and do their own things like every other American teen! What like figure out how much ammo they would need to take out a school bus or something? We live on an insane planet in insane times and being honest it is only because I have had contact with so many great people, parents through this community we have here that my faith which hangs by a very tenuous thread and at times that I have thought has snapped almost everytime I read or hear the news! Is what keeps me going at times! There have been nights and days when I have completely thought that our race is just too sick to survive and that the Greeks got it wrong when Pandora opened her jar that released all evil and ills upon man, they said that hope was all that was left in the jar and there really are days it is hard to think that hope did survive but then I come here, I look for just that one little bit of good news and then like a spider, hope makes me crawl back up that thread because as much as this world tries to snap it, it is still there!

Mum had pre-eclampsia it seems. Pretty badly, seeing as baby had to be delivered so very early.

I wonder if her doc will tell her no more babies- and whether she will listen? Seems like this latest one put both her and baby at risk.

Much love and luck to them and the little one, they always seemed a lovely family.
