Duggar baby no. 19 Josie Brooklyn Arkansas, Dec 21 (THAINDIAN NEWS) This can well be called a Christmas miracle, because the 19th Duggar baby came into this world 3 months early, at just 25 weeks, but she is still tagging along. She was due in March, but she arrived almost 3 months premature into this world, but thankfully she is doing well. Michelle Duggar’s daughter Josie Brooklyn who is the Duggar Baby no. 19 is doing well, despite being born quite prematurely at just 25 weeks. Josie is still hospitalized at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock.

Josie was born on 10th December, when her expected date of birth was 18th March. She was born when her mother Michelle Duggar had an attack of gallstones, and was rushed into an emergency C-section Thursday at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. She was just one pound, six ounces at her birth. Her mother Michelle Duggar is fine now, and has been discharged from the hospital. However she and her large brood are still hanging around at the hospital, because Josie is still admitted there. Michelle said that Josie is better and her health is on the expected lines.

Josie’s siblings include Josh, twins Jana and John-David, 19; Jill, 18; Jessa, 16; Jinger, 15; Joseph, 14; Josiah, 13; Joy-Anna, 11; twins Jedidiah and Jeremiah, 10; Jason, 9; James, 8; Justin, 6; Jackson, 5; Johanna, 3; Jennifer, 2 and Jordyn-Grace, 9 months.

The Duggar family are the stars of a reality TV show called 18 Children and Counting, which is about Jim Bob and Michelle and their 18 children. However the channel needs to change the name soon, as the 19th Duggar has already arrived in this world.
