14 Kids And One On The Way - ZEFRANK.COM

No, I'm not talking about myself (I can't imagine 1 kid, no less 14).

There was a show on the Discovery Health Channel last night about this family somewhere in the Midwest (?) region of the US, whom had 14 kids. As of the taping of the show, Mom was pregnant w/child #15. (Incidentally, she got pregnant again, & recently gave birth to child #16.)

I find it interesting that she's only had 3 c-sections, & have had 2 sets of twins so far.

The kids are all home schooled, play 2 instruments, dress alike (probably to save $), and all have names that start w/a "J". And yes, they are Christian (not sure what branch, though.)

This is not a slam against the family, but I have to wonder just how they can take care of that many kids! Whatever they're doing seems to be working, so good luck to them.

But still, #16 kids?!?! Don't things wear out after a while? What's the limit of children that the female body can handle & still function correctly?

Yours whose head would explode w/that many kids,
LC
