Michelle suffered complications during her pregnancy with Josie, including preeclampsia, forcing Josie to be born three and a half months early. The Duggars call it "one of the scariest things we have ever walked through as a family."
"A lot of people have asked would we consider having more children after what we went through with Josie," they wrote. "We do not take for granted the wonderful blessings of life that God has bestowed upon us! Many years ago, Jim Bob & I gave this area of our lives to God, allowing Him to grant life as He saw fit."
