Alyssa's blog: Bates Behind the Scenes

Although I wasn’t able to participate in tonight’s Q&A episode, I really enjoyed watching my parents and siblings relive memories and laugh together. We are big family with even bigger personalities, as I’m sure you could see tonight. It’s hard to believe the first season of Bringing Up Bates is almost over and we have all enjoyed sharing a bit our lives with you.

Erin's blog: All About Chad

Hi everyone! Hope you enjoyed tonight’s episode! As you all know, I’ve never been shy about expressing how in love I am with my sweet husband Chad but tonight, you got to see just how important he has become to my entire family, too! My family calls on Chad for just about everything because he can do just about everything! Anyone need a haircut or a master gardener?! Chad has such a heart for helping others. He’s an incredible man and I know he’s going to be the best daddy to our little baby! Be sure to check out his latest blog entry for news on little baby Paine and more at http://chadsperspective.blogspot.com/. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Love, Erin

UP TV Alyssa's blog: Bun in the oven

Since moving to Florida after I got married to John, I hadn’t seen my family all together until Whitney’s baby shower! As I’m sure you can imagine, getting all of us 19 kids together in one place can be a bit difficult, especially after 3 of us are now married. I love living in Florida with Johnb, but I do miss being a car ride away from my parents and siblings. FaceTime has come in handy to keep in touch with everyone! The shower was such a fun and special time for us all to be together.

As for my baby announcement, I wanted to do something entertaining and creative, and I think I achieved just that with my “bun in the oven” shirt! It was important to me to make the announcement in person with my family, and their reaction was absolutely priceless! I guess my comments about no more coffee or rollercoasters was enough of a hint for some of my siblings… oh well! This journey has been such an exciting one for John and me and we know how blessed we are to be in this position.
