"I also realized that that may not be possible," she said, "I may not be able to conceive and maybe even give birth to another full term baby, I know that."

And to critics, she defended the family's decision to have a possible 20th baby.

"I'm the mom!" Michelle said.

The Duggars are adjusting to life with little Josie finally home from the hospital.

Michelle took her back to Little Rock for a check up and Dr. Robert Lyle gave her a clean bill of health and said that she could start weaning off of the oxygen for two hours a day.

John David even said he thinks Jana might have an interest in joining the fire department with him. The two older siblings just returned from a trip to Southeast Asia where the went on a mission.

"It was different," John David said of the food and he praised his sister's skills in relating to the kids. "She was a lot better with the kids than I was," he said.

Of course she wants another child...she barely helps raise the 19 she has. She is a selfish person. She better start thinking about the ones she already has, keeping her legs closed would be a good place to start.

I watched the last show. They showed a morning routine of the older girls getting babies out of cribs, changing diapers, talking about it's time to start potty training one lil girl, and dressing the younger kids! She's the "mom" alright...

Doesn't Josie require special care for the next few years? Is Michelle so selfish as to not consider that important factor before getting pregnant? Think they want 20 & the older girls will likely turn into Josie's personal caregivers.

NO MORE, give them older kids a break, Michelle, your so cold to your little kids sometimes, but you have so many there just isn't enough of you to go around, HUG THE LITTLE ONES YOU HAVE.

Then adopt a child that needs a home if you want to hit #20. Is it worth risking19 kids losing their mom? They just got so lucky w/their latest baby making it (thank goodness). Seems they are going to push their luck until something bad happens.

NO adoption agency on the planet would give these people a child. They have far too many kids and their beliefs are extreme. I heard about a ladyon the news denied being a foster mom because she is muslim & wouldnt serve pork in her home!

The youngest child next to Josie doesnt even know her mother. she was a baby when Michelle had Josie and has spent very little time with Michelle. She prob thinks the sisters are her mom.

I totally agree. She's a cute little thing and seems to occupy herself. Michelle can't give motherly attention to all the little ones she has...does this woman not get it?
