Two down and one to go

The Bates family has welcomed two of the three babies into the world. We are patience waiting for the birth of Charlotte but first let's take a look back at Jadon and Hazel's birthdays and who are their parents.

Jadon was the first of the three born. He was born on June 7, 2021 to Zach and Whitney Bates.

Hazel is the second born of the three. She was born on June 14, 2021 to Kelton and Josie Balka.

Charlotte is the unborn child of Bobby and Tori Smith. She is due in June 2021. 

Stay tune for Charlotte's birth announcement.

Grandbaby #18 coming soon

 The next Bates grandchild will be arriving really shorty. We can't wait to meet baby Charlotte and know that you can't either.

Stay tune for her birth announcement.

Last photo as a family of 5

We are currently on baby watch for Jayden's arrival and can't wait to share it with you all. Today we have a new photo of Zach and Whitney with their three children. 

It's crazy to think that this could be the last photo of the Little Bates family as a family of five. 

When do you think that Jayden will be here? 

Stay tune for his birth announcement which is coming soon.

33 weeks pregnant

On May 13th, Josie shared an update on baby Hazel who is due next month. She is currently 33 weeks pregnant with her second child.

Josie's baby shower

Shorty before Katie's successful Wedding dress shopping trip, Josie had a baby shower for baby #2.

Many of the Bates sisters were able to make the event such as Kelly, Whitney (who is due in June)  and Erin.

Josie is due in late June 2021 to welcome her second daughter into the world.

Three June Babies

 We have been asked to share the following information with you all. 

As many of you know that Whitney, Tori and Josie are expecting babies in June but what are they?

Whitney is expecting a baby boy and his name will be Jayden Carl. 

Tori is expecting a baby girl and her name will be Charlotte Raine. 

Josie is expecting a baby girl and her name will be Hazel Sloane.

We can't wait to meet all of them. 

What does this mean for the Bates grandchildren count?

Girls: 13

Boys: 5

New baby bump photo

It's been a few weeks since Zach and Whitney shared that they are having a baby boy and we have a new photo of Whitney and her growing bump.

In this photo, Whitney is 22 weeks pregnant with baby J. As of today, she is currently 24 weeks pregnant with baby #4

Grandbaby #16: Boy or a girl

We all have been waiting patiently to find out if Zach and Whitney will have a little boy or a little girl since they announced their fourth pregnancy back in November 2020. We just found out that the baby will be a BOY! 

His name will be Jayden Carl Bates! 

Tori pregnancy announcement photos

Earlier this week, we shared that Bobby and Tori are expecting their child, a daughter, in June 2021. We have new photos of the soon to be family of five.

The baby will be 15 months younger than her brother, Kolter. She will also be about 2 years and 7 months younger than her brother, Kade.

It will be interesting to see if Charlotte arrives before baby Bates and Baby Balka. It will also be interesting to see if there will be another grandbaby on the way soon.
