Watch the Duggars Welcome Baby No. 18!

Sure, Angelina Jolie has her hands full raising six children. But she's got nothing on Michelle Duggar: She and husband Jim Bob are about to welcome their 18th child – and they're inviting viewers to watch.

The Tontitown, Ark., family, whose show 17 Kids and Counting airs on TLC, are inviting the network's cameras to capture their next child's grand entrance in January.

Michelle and Jim Bob, who are part of the evangelical Christian movement called Quiverful, currently have seven girls and 10 boys – and plan to continue to expand their family.

"Our goal is for each one of our children to be best friends," Jim Bob told the Associated Press. "And everybody working together to serve each other makes that happen."

I think it is wonderful for the Duggars to have so many children, but when does it poses a health risk to Michelle? Have so many children so close together cannot be good on her body

They plan to continue to expand their family, even after #18? That is just nuts. The world is overpopulated enough as it is.

I would like to know what sort of job does he have to finance this? As someone says about her health, yes a concern but not as much as the social responsibility, you cannot possibly devote the amount of time a child deserves when you are constantly pregnant.

What a blessing to have so many children and still welcome more. A nice change for our minimal child society. As long as she is healthy for each pregnancy, it doesn't pose any health risk to her or baby to continue having more. =)

Truly, is it anyone else's business? They are all happy and healthy - far be it from me to say how many kids someone should have unless I am the family doctor. Congratulations!!!

I say thumbs down to the Duggar Family. Having that many kids back to back cannot be good for a womens body. And its got to be VERY Expensive!!!Poeple like the Duggars are a strian on the economy and to hard working tax payers.Why have all those kids to, just to be getting assistance from the state to take care of them. The Duggars should be more responsible...
