Baby Stewart #3 update

Many of you have asked about their gender reveal and when it's coming? The couple has chosen to wait until the baby is here to find out if it's a boy or girl. They did say that if the baby is a boy, they will switch Zade and Layla's rooms around.
They also shared that they are going to have a name for a boy and girl.
Carlin did share that she thinks that the baby will be here early so we don't have long to wait.

Update on Mama Jane
Kelly shared an update on her mother-in-law.
We have so much to be thankful for as Mama Jane completed her final radiation treatment today. We’re all extremely grateful for the outpouring of love everyone has shown these past weeks. The messages have been a great encouragement and the prayers have given her strength to press on!
Thank each of you for making her feel so special! Today also marked exactly 3 weeks since Papa Bill passed away & when Mama Jane first went to ring the bell after her appointment to celebrate that she had finished treatments, she began to cry as she realized Papa isn’t here to celebrate with her. Though there’s an emptiness in all of our hearts without him, we also recognize God’s overwhelming goodness in the midst of our storms. So we want to publicly thank Him for His loving care! ❤️
