Carson Arrives!
If you have been following our family’s story on UP TV, you’ll recall the miscarriages and medical hardships that Erin and Chad have faced recently. We are so thrilled and so thankful to God that she was able to carry Carson safely throughout the pregnancy and deliver a healthy happy boy! Our hearts are also full of gratitude for the many of you who prayed or wrote words of encouragement. We believe little Carson truly is an answer to prayer and we are excited to see how God will direct him in life!

Recap: A Big Bates Thanksgiving
Erin heads to find out the gender of her baby. They have the doctor write on a piece of paper where she can give it to her cousin Katherine who will make a cake that has either pink or blue inside. "I am a super curious person, especially when it comes to what my baby is," says Erin.
As the family gets ready for the Thanksgiving dinner in South Carolina which is Mama Jane and Papa Bill's house. Gil's parents are getting ready to feed a dozen family members. Gil's parents have lived in their farm since Gil was in third grade and now his brother and sister live in their own house and have a big yards. The family arrives at the house and are greeted by Mama and Papa Bates along with John and Alyssa who arrived the day before.
Callie accidentally slams her little brother's fingers in the door and then they head to play a game of football. Zach gets hurt thanks to Nathan putting his knee out. None of the family ends up at the hospital so they are thankful. When Gil was growing up, he loved playing sports. Gil had a hard time putting Christ before sports and now that he has kids, he wants them to put Christ before they do anything else.
The family gets ready to do their family photos and they wear matching outfits that have purples, blues, and grays. Chad has done many of the family photos over the years.
Bill and Jane decided to rent a tent since their house is not big enough to accommodate their family. The family ends up moving inside since it's cold. The family goes around and shares what they are thankful for.
The family gets ready for the gender reveal since Erin had her cousin make. They revealed that they are having a baby boy. Everyone is excited about the second grandson coming into the world.

The next morning, the family leaves to visit John and Alyssa who left the day before to get ready. Brandon and Michaella have to get back to work and home so they stay at Papa Bill and Mama Jane's house until the next morning.
The family knows that next year will be different. Zach thinks that Bradley will have another sibling and Whitney is not ready for it. Nathan thinks that there will be a couple more spouses or girlfriends while Lawson says that he is not getting married before next Thanksgiving.

Our reaction: It's a boy
We actually found out about Chad and Erin's little boy in the beginning of February and was so excited about it. We were going to reveal it in the end of February but decided to wait for another week when Chad and Erin got to reveal the gender.
