After the honeymoon, Michelle moved in with Jim Bob. They lived in a square foot fixer upper. For the first few years of their marriage, Michelle was on the birth control pill. She then gave birth to a son, Joshua James , on March 3, After having their first child, Michelle went back on the birth control pill. While on it, she became pregnant with another child. This pregnancy ended in miscarriage in January , and a Christian doctor told them it was caused by the pill. They named the miscarried child Caleb Ryan , despite not knowing the gender.
Because of this incident, Michelle and Jim Bob decided to trust their fertility entirely to God and stopped using any birth control. On November 8, , Michelle and Jim Bob announced that they were expecting their twentieth child. The couple said they had expected Josie to be their last, but were excited for another child. Our children are so sweet. We are so grateful to God," Jim Bob said of the pregnancy. On December 8, , the couple announced that they had miscarried their child.
After a routine check-up, the doctor was unable to find a heartbeat, which meant they suffered a miscarriage. The family was heartbroken and said they would give the infant a name and a funeral once knowing the gender. On December 11, , Michelle naturally delivered their stillborn child, a girl. She weighed 4 ounces and was 2. On December 12, , the couple set a date for the funeral and announced that they had decided on the name Jubilee Shalom , which means "joyful celebration of peace".
On December 14, , the Duggar family held a funeral for Jubilee, which was held in Springdale, Arkansas, and was attended by hundreds of people. I hope that her short life can encourage other people who have gone through things like this. It was very healing, and we have precious memories," Jim Bob said about the event. The funeral, which aired on the family's television show , was the subject of some controversy after it was discovered the Duggars displayed photos of the stillborn child at the event.
On November 21, , they were appointed as his permanent legal guardians. Michelle and Jim Bob consider Tyler as their 20th child, even though they have not legally adopted him. Together, they have 7 children. Their second child, son Michael James , was born on June 15, Caldwell is 39 and Joe just celebrated his 25th birthday.
The small age gap between Mrs. Caldwell, Jeremy and Joe can be easily explained: Joe Duggar married someone four years younger than him, while Jinger married someone six years older than her. I feel like Garrett's adjusted pretty well to Brooklyn, but I feel like Addie is still struggling, so we're working through that right now. While at his family's Easter celebration, Joe added: "Easter is a time of renewal and new things budding and all that and so we look at it as a great time for us to get adjusted to what it's like with three kids and we're just looking forward to what's in store with our family.
The easy birthing process comes after Kendra detailed Addie's painful delivery during an August episode of the reality show. Once the couple arrived at the hospital, doctors informed them that Kendra had only dilated four centimeters. She admitted: "I was kind of discouraged when I found out I was only at a four and I'd been in a lot of pain and laboring. Kendra recalled "painful contractions" that she had to "breathe through" as they walked the hospital hallways to jumpstart the labor.
After listening to Michelles letter to Jubilee where she says if anyone asks her how many children she has she would say If you have a memoriam spot you could include grandpa duggar and caleb as well as Jubilee. It would show though they are not here they are not forgotten. Hi Readers! Thanks for all of your suggestions!
We added an excerpt from Jubilee's obituary to the bottom of the birthday list. I know Michelle meant that she was willing to lay down her own life for this baby, even if it meant she would go home to Jesus. But, now, I can't help but think that Jubilee laid down her life for her Mamma Michelle. Hey Duggars! I just wanted to let you know that y'all have a beautiful Family! I love big family's! I am the 9th child of 13! All the time we get comments good and bad But as long as we are serving the Lord and training our children in the way they should go!
And teaching them about the Lord! Ya cant go rong! Go Dawgs! This is a great blog!! So sweet to include Caleb and jubilee!! Can't wait to meet them someday!! I am the mother of two preemies babies. TyNeshia was born 27 weeks 3 pounds and 14 ounces. She is now 24 years old. Married and having her first baby. Darreya was born 23 weeks 1 pound and 1 ounce. She is now 10 years old. My Prayers goes out to you and the family.
Keep the Faith. Everything is in God's hands. How do the Duggar girls get so dark during the winter?? Do they go tanning???!!!! I don't think they should, but I have a feeling they do!
I have loved watching all your shows over here in Australia i think your 19 kids are so well behave i have trouble controlling my 2 boys I am February baby Love the Duggars Hi Lily and Ellie! Can you please include Grandma Duggar's birthday in the listing? Her's is in May too. Hi my name is Hannah and I would just like to say that I absolutely love your show, I watch it all the time and cannot get enough of it!
I pray for your family all the time, and hope that one day I can have such a wonderful, in love with God, magnificent family such as yours! Can't wait to see some more new episodes : and p. I only have 2 children. After having my first I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis so I was forced to use birth control. My oldest is 13 yrs in I became pregnant with my 2nd. He is now 2yrs old and due to my medication he was diagnosed with Spina Bifida. Although he has so many medical problems he has been a blessing in disguise.
I noticed that 2 of your children have the same birthdays. I watch your show every morning before I go to school! The Lord surely has blessed you with many beautiful children. I was born between John David and Jill on Dec. We enjoy seeing everbody dressed in modest aparrel.
I do not wear pants either I'm a girl I wear skirts in public and coulottes around the house. When I go swimming, I am in a tshirt and coulottes. People used to make fun of me for that but I didn't care. The Lord will bless you more than he has, for living a Christian or Godly life on screen and off!!!! God Bless. I just wanted to tell you that you are such a blessing in my life. As a mom with multiple sclerosis, I have 2 children. It is very very difficult for me, but with my youngest right now, he is being assisted with his care through a loving family at our church.
Michelle, I so look up to you as a mom. I watch your body language, and listen to your tone and how relaxed it is. I want to be like that with my children. And I have been able to use it a lot, just trying to take deep breathes, and speak in a softer tone when correcting the children, and it really really does work. The Lord has a great work in store for your lives, each and every one of you! Love from Illinois. How come John and Joseph are never on the screen!? Also by the way I really want to meet you guys!
Brooke Hi Brooke, John and Joseph are currently working on a construction job. Combined with John's towing business, that has kept them busy. Have a great holiday weekend! Lily and Ellie.
Anonymous All of the Duggars are beautiful and one could not be considered more beautiful than another. It must be wonderful to be a part of the clan. Do you know when the Duggars are comming close to Bristol VA any time soon? I have their book and i really would like for them to sign it. And do you know when their other book is comming out?
I'm a Lauren too. Lauren H. As of yet, no further announcements about the third book, "Growing Up Duggar," have been made. So by the information at the bottom of the birthdays, they didnt name all their children with j's.
It was after the birth of the twins that Jim Bob and Michelle decided to continue with "J" names. In case they had only one more child, they wanted he or she to feel like part of the family. Their dad's birthday is the day before mine! If I get married to one of the Duggars then there will be a February Birthday because mine is February 28th. I think I saw somewhere recently that Mary Duggar's brithday was a few days ago and i would have liked to wish her a Happy brithday!!! Anonymous why isnt Mary Duggar's birthday on the birthday list and Amy Duggar's birthday is?
I mean if it wasn't for her none of these children would be here. Thank you! Until recently, her birthday had not been made public, so we chose not to post it. Lily and Ellie thank you for posting Mary Duggar's Birthday. I understand. What do you think about posting granpa Duggars brithday and passing, and Michelle's father also. Anonymous Hi Anonymous, Thanks for your input. We appreciate it. Have a blessed day, Lily and Ellie.
How come you haven't said anything to me just because I'm s child doesn't mean you have to ignore me! Tasha Hi Tasha, We are not ignoring you at all. We read every comment, but due to the high number that we receive, we are not able to answer every single one. Our goal is to respond to the readers who ask questions, and your comment did not contain a question. Hi lily and Ellie, I just wanted to know what do the duggars do when they are not on television like right now oh and 1 more thing will they ever come to Houston?
S I love the duggars I research them everyday I love all of them. Seniyah Hi Seniyah, New episodes are scheduled to return in August. We haven't heard of any plans for the Duggars to visit Houston but will post if we do. Claire i have my heart set on jedidiah or josiah!

Virving One of those is Anna Josh's wife Virving Hello. That would be Anna who is married into the family. The funny thing is i have the same name as Jennifer and we were born on the same day but different years LOL! Happy Birthday, Michelle!! We are only 3 days apart. I tried to have my son on my birthday, but he came on yours instead.
You are such a blessing to me. It is so encouraging to watch your family on You-tube, and see your family living for the Lord. I also love that you haven't lowered your standards.
Thank you for being such a good testimony to the world on how a godly family should live. God bless and happy birthday!!!
Josh and Anna are husband and wife. Josh is the oldest duggar kid. Virving anna is the wife of josh. Hope no one forgot whose birthday it is today "Cousin Amy's" Happy birthday. Brooke I got to meet the Duggars! Why does cousin Amy go by the last name Duggar? I think her mother does too. I'm pretty sure she, Jim Bobs sister, is married.
