Knocked Up Celebs

Little baby Josie Duggar, the 19th child for the Duggars, was born at 25 weeks, and now thanks to Michelle Duggar and husband, Jim Bob, we can see their little bundle of joy.

Josie is taking breast milk through a tube and weighs 2 lbs 3 oz.  She has grown in the ten weeks she has been born, she was 1 lbs. 6 oz.

“Years ago, a baby this small wouldn’t have lived an hour,” says Jim Bob. “We are so grateful for the ability to help her.”

Michelle and Jim Bob have moved 17 of their children to Little Rock, Arkansas, to be closer to Josie who is at the hospital there.

“Doctors tell us, ‘never trust a preemie,’ because you can’t know what is going to happen,” says Jim Bob. “It is a very day-to-day thing. It is the hardest thing we’ve ever been through.”

“We don’t know if there is going to be another big hill to go up,” Michelle says. “We are grateful for the wonderful days when she has been good. We know at any moment, things could change.”

Josie’s birth will be featured in 19 Kids and Counting: Special Duggar Delivery, airing January 31 on TLC, and the new season of their show will debut in February.
