Rumor: Another Duggar pregnancy?

Categories: Bump watch, Celeb parenting, Rumors

I've mentioned my love for the Duggar family on Blogging Baby before. I can't help it, if they're on TV, I'm totally watching. For those of you who don't watch as much TV as I do, the Duggars are a family in Arkansas that have 16 children.

Well, I've had several people recently email me to ask if I knew that Michelle Duggar was pregnant again. Like a good reality TV fan, I got really excited and wanted to know all about it...except Google News said nothing.

So, I emailed Jim Bob Duggar to see if perhaps he'd confirm or deny the news. And, well, I haven't heard back from him yet (but I'm still hoping!) so I did some searching on my own.

On Television Without Pity, one commenter said she called the Duggar household and asked. According to her, and this is just a rumor until it is officially confirmed, Michelle Duggar is pregnant with number seventeen.

"She said Michelle is due around July 25th and that they don't know what it is yet -but she's hoping for twin girls. I asked if they had any names picked out and she said they had been tossing around the idea of Jubilee for a girl."

If I remember correctly, their last child was born in October of 2005. Considering that the average months between Duggar children is 18 months (I watched a special episode once and took notice, having children that far apart myself) July would be right on target.

So, this may be jumping the gun, but if it is true, then congrats to the family. They really seem to love their children and view them as a blessing. I'll be interested to see if there is fact behind the rumor.
