LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas: Michelle Duggar just delivered her 16th child, and she's already thinking about doing it again.
Johannah Faith Duggar, born at 6.30am on Tuesday, local time, weighed in at a healthy 3.4kg.
Her father, Jim Bob Duggar, a former state representative, said mother and child were doing well. Johannah's birth was especially exciting because it was the first time in eight years the family had a girl, he said.
Mr Duggar, 40, and Michelle, 39, says he and his wife want more children.
"We both just love children and we consider each a blessing from the Lord," he said.
"I have asked Michelle if she wants more and she said yes, if the Lord wants to give us some she will accept them."
The Discovery Health Channel filmed Johannah's birth and plans to air a show about the family in May.
The Learning Channel is doing another show about the family's construction project, a 650sqm house that should be finished before Christmas.
The home, which the family from the northwest Arkansas town of Rogers has been building for two years, will have nine bathrooms, dormitory-style bedrooms for the girls and boys, a commercial kitchen, four washing machines and four dryers.
Mr Duggar, who sells real estate, previously lost his bid for the US Senate. He said he expects to run for the state Senate next year but is not ready to make a formal announcement.
Ms Duggar had her first child at age 21, four years after the couple married.
Their children include two sets of twins, and each child has a name beginning 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; and now Johannah. AP
