I found the answer to my own question. They named her Jordyn-Grace Makiya Duggar.

She may have given birth to the child, but more than likely it will probably be the older daughters responsibility to do the "looking after" the baby. At least that's how they are always portrayed. But congrats to them for having a healthy baby.

I am glad I don't have to buy their groceries. Can you imagine the laundry for 20 people?

Well all I can say is I am glad the baby is healthy but having so many kids is just ridiculous.

ITA=I totally agree!
Anyone here who had the kind of criticism about the size of their family they get would go ballistic. They are raising their own family and asking nothing from anyone else. I hope they have as many as they want. As for siblings helping out with their siblings, it's called being a family. My family did it too. I'm 11 years older than my dsis, I took care of her and I grew up normal, haven't killed anyone yet and am reasonably sane!

Amazing. I don't think I would have the strength to bear and raise 18 children! However, I do wish them the best. I think they are good people.
