Michelle Duggar's 19th baby arrived earlier than expected, but is stable reports People.com

Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar, stars of US reality show 18 Kids And Counting, had Josie Brooklyn, weighing 1 pound, 6 ounces, at 11:27am on Friday in Arkansas.

Michelle, who has been in hospital for a gallstone , had baby Josie by emergency caesarean.

The baby is stable and in the newborn intensive care unit (NICU) for extended care, a representative for the television network TLC told People.com in an exclusive statement.

"The most important thing right now is for mom and baby Josie to get as much rest as possible," says the statement to People.

The Duggar family, conservative baptists who do not use birth control, now have nine girls and ten boys (including two sets of twins) who all have names starting with the letter J.

Their children are Joshua "Josh" James, Jana Marie, John-David, Jill Michelle, Jessa Lauren, Jinger Nicole Joseph Garrett, Josiah Matthew, Joy-Anna, Jedidiah Robert, Jeremiah Robert, Jason Michael, James Andrew, Justin Samuel, Jackson Levi, Johannah Faith, Jennifer Danielle, Jordyn-Grace Makiya and Josie Brooklyn.
