Report: 19th Duggar Baby Arrives Via Emergency C-Section

18 Kids And Counting mom, Michelle Duggar, delivered baby no. 19 last night (December 10) after being rushed to the operation room for an emergency.

“Michelle, who has been in the hospital recovering from a gallstone, was taken to the OR for an emergency c-section,” a TLC rep confirmed to TMZ.

Michelle and husband Jim Bob welcomed baby girl, Josie Brooklyn, arrived at 6:27pm weighing in at just 1lb 6oz.

According to the rep, little Josie is “stable” and in the neonatal intensive-care unit at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences:

The most important thing right now is for mom and baby Josie to get as much rest as possible. The family is grateful for all the prayers and well wishes during their recovery.

Our thoughts go out to the entire Duggar family.

Josie is a cute name. 1 lb 6 oz is so tiny, hopefully she'll pull through.
