"You're fixing to have a little sister here in a few minutes," Jim Bob Duggar told his children during a brief phone call on December 10th, 2009. His voice was shaking as he prepared to join his wife in the operating room at UAMS Hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas. "Just tell everybody to pray, okay?"
Six years ago, the Duggars' lives were turned upside down when a potentially life-threatening complication known as preeclampsia forced Michelle to deliver Baby #19 at 25 weeks gestation. Josie Brooklyn Duggar was born via emergency C-section, weighing a mere 1 lb 6 oz.
"...We praise God when all the good things are happening, and we're going to praise God, even through this difficult situation, " Jim Bob told TLC.
The months that followed Josie's premature birth were full of ups and downs. She remained in the hospital until early April 2010, when she was released for just a couple days before being rushed back. After solving her digestive problems, doctors sent Josie home permanently in June.
Today, Josie Duggar is a healthy, lively little girl who is fixing to turn six years old tomorrow. In honor of her birthday, take a look at this video filmed in January 2010.
