16 KIDS!!!

This news article was posted on an internet board that I frequent.  It’s pretty amazing.  It’s about a woman who just had her 16th child…and…get this (are you sitting down?) she wouldn’t mind having more.  And, here’s another zinger…the oldest is 17.  Wow…kudos to her! 


 

Here’s something else about this family…not only do they have 16 kids, but all 16 of them have names that begin with the letter “J”.

 

Joshua, 17
John David, 15
Janna, 15
Jill, 14
Jessa, 12
Jinger, 11
Joseph, 10
Josiah, 9
Joy-Anna, 8
Jeremiah, 6
Jedidiah, 6
Jason, 5
James, 4
Justin, 2
Jackson Levi, 1
Johannah Faith, newborn

 

They could have a ton more kids with the J theme…Jaden, Jonah,
Jericho, Jacinta, Jordan, Julianna, Jacqueline, Joslyn, Josie…

 

It’s a good thing they didn’t name their first kid Xavier or Zachery.  That would limit the number of kids they could have.  Can you imagine?  “O.K., Honey.  We’ll name this one Xavier, this one Xena, this one Xanthus and that one Xylona.  After that, we’ve gotta use birth control or we’re gonna have to name the next one Xerxes.”

 

How do you think they keep all of those names straight?  It looks like only 5 of them are girls.  It’ll be hard to keep Joy-Anna and Johannah straight.

 

I’m fascinated by this whole scenario.

 

Do you think that Jinger is a boy or a girl?

    If she carried all of these kids to term that means that she was pregnant for 144 months. That’s a total of 12 years!!! Of course, if she were an elephant (and pregnant for 144 months at 22 months per baby) she’d only have 6 1/2 kids. That’s useless information for you!

    You think my "Joie Hannah" would get mixed up with those?

    I notice she was in the hospital having that 16th child. I’m dying to know how long her labor was.

  3. Deb says:

    Actually it’s only 126 months because she had two sets of twins.

    Ohh…I missed that. I stand corrected. What would that mean in elephant gestational terms?
