It’s been seven weeks since tiny Josie’s arrival and it’s time for Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar to show off their TINY bundle of joy.  Josie Brooklyn Duggar is getting her breast milk through a tube and weighs 2 lbs. 3 oz.

She was born at 25 weeks weighing only 1 lb. 6 oz. when she arrived Dec. 10, after Michelle was diagnosed with preeclampsia.  People Magazine talked with the loving parents about the whole experience,

“Years ago, a baby this small wouldn’t have lived an hour,” says Jim Bob, 44. “We are so grateful for the ability to help her.”

“It’s a miracle she’s doing so well,” says Jim Bob. Agrees Michelle: “It is incredible what the doctors and nurses can do to save the life of this little person.”

“Doctors tell us, ‘never trust a preemie,’ because you can’t know what is going to happen,” says Jim Bob. “It is a very day-to-day thing. It is the hardest thing we’ve ever been through.”

I am so glad that Josie is doing well.  She is still so tiny and there is still a long road ahead.  But she has SO much support, I have complete faith that she will be 100% healthy and home sooner than later.

Josie’s crazy birth will be aired on 19 Kids and Counting: Special Duggar Delivery, on Jan. 31 on TLC.  Then in February the new season will begin.
