Arkansas, May 10, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s 17 kids now have another sibling to play with. The 18th kid of the couple who was born on the 10th of December last year. Being three months premature, the baby was only 1 lb., 6 oz., when it was born. The sad part is that after releasing her from intensive care, she had to be taken back to the Arkansas Children’s Hospital last Thursday with signs of constipation.

With the baby in hospital, the couple have decided to rent a place at Little Rock in order to be close to the youngest member of their family. The other children of the Duggar family fall in the age bracket of 21 years to the second smallest among them at only 13 months. Since a hospital does not allow underage people to enter its premises, it seems that the children gather together in a room of their rented home and watch videos of their little sister Josie which is taken by their father Jim Bob while the baby is still in incubator.

Michelle Duggar also takes turns to visit her baby in hospital when her husband is working. The Arkansas Children’s Hospital where Josie is now admitted, follows the policy of not allowing children under the age of 18 inside its ICU unit. So most siblings are deprived of the opportunity of watching their sister grow up. However with today’s technology as its best, the couple make sure that they do not miss the precious moments of their sister’s growing up. At present, Josie weighs 4 lbs., 12 oz.
