    Michelle is expected to give birth five months after daughter-in-law Anna gives birth to the Duggar's first grandchild.

    Anna, 21, is expecting a girl next month with the Duggars' oldest son, Joshua, 21.

    "I love all of this, it is so fun," Michelle said. "Anna and I will have babies five months apart. My mother and my sister were pregnant at the same time and it was really wonderful. The kids were really close and still are. I have a nephew who grew up with me, we're just three months apart."

    Michelle also told the mag that her 19th pregnancy came as a surprise.

    "I was in Weight Watchers with Jim Bob and I wasn't losing any weight," she said. "I couldn't figure it out. I was doing what I should. And the baby, who was nursing, was fussy. I kept thinking, 'This isn't right. She isn't teething, she doesn't have an ear infection. I'm not cheating on my diet, I should be losing weight.' Then, I put two and two together and wondered if I could possibly be pregnant."

    I just read about this. To each their own I suppose. Their whole lifestyle is unusual to me. I admit I love the show but can't help but be creeped out by such a patriarchal life.
    If they're happy and content that's all good.

    She's only forty-two. I wonder what toll its taking on her baby. I hope as she ages she'll be ok. But I do have to say they're doing something right because their kids seem to well behaved and polite.

    My mom and sister were pregnant at the same time. Their babies are five months apart.

    Congrats, to each his own I guess. Just the thought of 19 children makes me tired. LOL Plus I would not want to spend the majority of my life being pregnant.

    Sorry but I think they are insane! .. 19 kids is way too many and there is no way they each can get the attention kids need from their parents. I think the Duggars are creepers. But as mentioned above to each their own.
    They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. Distance and time may separate us but friendship and memories won't.

    I think it is stupid. 19 kids? In this day and age? Are they stupid? Ive never watched the show, but I guess they are making enough money from the network to support themselves. Anyone have a real job on the show?

    They own a used car lot but I think they make their money off of the network. I find it kind of contradictory that they don't allow TV but are willing to make a living off of the very industry they shun.
