I read this yesterday! I must say, taking a pregnancy test in the washroom at a used car dealership -- even if you own the place -- is one of the saddest things I can imagine.Wife and #1 Fan of Attending Adult & Geriatric Psychiatrist. -
I just thought it was interesting that she took a test every month since they got married. I guess they really are anti-birth control but I would think if you got married at 19 and 20, you might be able to use the rhythm method or something to have a few months together before starting!Married to a Urology Attending!

Well, I guess they were hoping for a blessing. They are part of the Quiverfull movement which advocates for having many, many children.
I was wondering why she kept taking tests? I mean, was she late every month?Wife and #1 Fan of Attending Adult & Geriatric Psychiatrist.Comment

Well, according to the article, they didn't know each other's bodies very well either... Their first kiss was at their wedding?!Originally posted by Cassy

I think they are such a neat family but I just cannot wrap my head around all of it sometimes, it seems so foreign!

Oh, I'm totally in sympathy with early testing.

I think they're pretty cool too. Even if you don't agree with their values completely, it's neat to see a family stay out of debt and live the way they choose. I was wondering though if it's realistic to imagine all 18 kids growing up, staying out of debt, etc. (one of their principles is NO debt). It's almost impossible in this country to go to college without debt unless your parents are very rich or you win a full schloarship. I know the eldest did not attend college but what if some others want to? I just hope they can be flexible and understand good debt vs. bad debt.Married to a Urology Attending!

My money's on Jinger. I've always thought she's most likely to rebel.
