Josie's Visit to the NICU

Michelle and Josie visit their "Arkansas Children's Hospital family" in Little Rock:

"A Duggar Loss" Recap

On tonight's episode of 19 Kids and Counting, "A Duggar Loss"...

• The Duggars travel to New York City to announce Michelle's pregnancy on the Today Show. (Click here to watch the segment.) In the green room, the kids enjoy the smorgasbord of goodies provided by NBC while watching the first half of the broadcast.
• During the early stages of her pregnancy, Michelle takes extra care to watch her diet, take vitamins, and exercise daily. 
• Michelle and best friend Cindy visit Arkansas Children's Hospital with Jana and Josie. The doctors and nurses who sustained Josie's life when she was born at a mere 22 ounces are thrilled to see the healthy toddler walking, talking, and blowing kisses.
• Back home, the Duggars gather in the living room to discuss baby names. If it is a boy, how about naming the child after his father? "I think there's only room for one Jim Bob in this family," says Michelle. "In this world," adds Jim Bob, smirking. But they add the name to their list nonetheless.
• "This is going to end in disaster," says Jedidiah, as the kids throw out names faster than Mom and Dad can record them on paper.

  Joel	Julie
  Jim Bob	Jenessa
  Jefferson	Jane

• The following day, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar head to the doctor's office for a special appointment. Soundman Bill Stefanacci will be the secret-keeper until he announces the baby's gender to the entire family.
• The ultrasound technician searches for the baby's heartbeat. "I could tell by the look on her face that something wasn't right," Michelle tells TLC, devastated by the news that their baby had passed. "Your whole world turns upside down," shares Jim Bob. 
• The doctor measures the baby at 16 weeks, 1 day; but Jill recalls recording the heartbeat at 17 weeks, 4 days. 
• After the reality of the loss of their twenty-first child sinks in, Jim Bob and Michelle release their emotions in a heartfelt prayer.
• Once home, the couple fights to keep their composure as they gather the troops and share the devastating news. "We have nineteen here and two with the Lord," Michelle explains.
• Jim Bob makes his way around the living room, hugging and comforting each of his children. 
• In the three days leading up to the stillbirth of Jubilee Shalom Duggar, Michelle pours her heart out to God and to her baby. (Hear her letter to Jubilee below.)
• "She looked like a little Duggar, just in a tiny form," says the grieving mommy. "We are so grateful for the time that [God] gave us with her."
• Jim Bob and Michelle invite their family and friends to celebrate Jubilee's short but meaningful life. They also invite the pastor who counseled them as teenagers and officiated their wedding twenty-eight years ago to speak. 
• After the memorial service, the family gathers at a local cemetery to bury Jubilee. "We needed the closure, to be able to say goodbye," explains Michelle.
• Michelle chooses the butterfly to symbolize her daughter's life.

"Boys Day Out" Recap

This week on 19 Kids and Counting, "Boys Day Out"...

• Jim Bob and his nine youngest sons (all but Josh), load up and drive to Fort Rock Family Camp for a father-son camp out. 
• Joy attempts to bake cookies for the guys. Unaware that the convection oven has to be turned down 100 degrees, she burns the first batch. But Duggars don't give up that easily. 
• "Whenever I make a mistake, I like to go back and just do it all over again," says Joy. Her second batch is a success!
• After enjoying dinner and fellowship at Fort Rock, the boys head to their cabin. The following day, they are immersed in an intense game of laser tag.
• When the camera crew jokingly accuses Jim Bob of pushing Josiah out from behind a hay bale, causing him to be shot, Jim Bob replies, laughingly, "I didn't know you caught that on tape...sorry Josiah." 
• But Jim Bob gets his in the end. Justin, who is on the opposing team, "kills" him twice. The little ones, especially Justin, turn out to be some of the best players. 
• On the way home, Jim Bob stops at a florist shop--not the typical way to end a father-son camp out. To express their gratefulness for the girls, each of the boys picks out a flower for one of his sisters.

Duggar Family Blog Archives: Josh and John Save a Life

We are re-posting this riveting news story for those of you who were not readers in February 2010.

When three vehicles collided in front of Josh Duggar's car lot, he and John sprung into action to save the life of six-year-old Maddye Plascensia.

At the time of the accident, Maddye, a passenger in one of the vehicles, had been eating chicken nuggets.

"I thought fender bender, no big deal, happens quite often here actually. And then I realized there was a little girl,” Josh told 40/29 News.

After carrying the unconscious six-year-old inside, John Duggar began CPR, while Josh called 911. Both men are grateful to have been able to help, but they refuse to take credit, telling the public that they were just a small piece of the puzzle. Josh credits the Springdale paramedics for taking over and quickly reviving Maddye, who was then airlifted to Arkansas Children's Hospital.

Click here to listen to Josh's call with the 911 dispatcher.

Josie Duggar's Bebe Doos

According to Jessa, "Duggar babies are usually bald for the first year or two." And the adorable Josie Duggar was no exception. The following video shows her at seventeen months, sporting a pair of Bebe Doos.
