Michelle Duggar of Tontitown, Arkansas is pregnant. With her 18th child. Our uterus is crying:

"We've had three in January, three in December. Those two months are a busy time for us," she said, laughing.

Through her tears. The sweet, smooth salve of filmig a reality TV series, however, will help dull the pain of childbirth:

The Duggars' oldest child, Josh, is 20, and the youngest, Jennifer, is nine months old. The fast-growing family lives in Tontitown in northwest Arkansas in a 7,000-square-foot home. All the children — whose names start with the letter J — are home-schooled.

Duggar has been been pregnant for more than 11 years of her life, and the family is in the process of filming another series for Discovery Health.

The new show looks at life inside the Duggar home, where chores — or "jurisdictions" — are assigned to each child. One episode of the new show involves a "jurisdiction swap," where the boys do chores traditionally assigned to the girls, and vice versa, Duggar said.

"The girls swapped jurisdictions, changing tires, working in the garages, mowing the grass," she said. "The boys got to cook supper from start to finish, clean the bathrooms," among other chores.

And they won't stop, because they can't stop:

Duggar said she's six weeks along and the pregnancy is going well. She and her husband, Jim Bob Duggar, said they'll keep having children as long as God wills it.

Now, correct us if we're wrong (Ha! As if.), but isn't it pretty risky to give birth after age thirty-five? Or perhaps after seventeen babies, they just sort of start plopping out of their own accord after a while. That would explain that mysterious stain behind the couch. Poor Jerusha.
