Most of you know that Carlin has had major health issues for the past year. On this journey, she has been to countless doctors appointments, endured dozens of tests, and even spent time in the hospital. She hasn't been able to drive, so she and Evan have had to rearrange their lives to make accommodations. They just posted a video that includes a health update for curious fans. The two biggest questions on their minds right now are whether Carlin will be able to drive eventually and whether she will be able to have more children. Based on their video updates, Evan's attitude is one of complete selflessness and support for his wife, and Carlin has endured these health struggles with positivity, grace, and trust in God.

Paine Party of 8
Happy Mother's Day to all the mamas out there! Today is the perfect day to share this post...
Less than five months after moving to Florida, Erin and Chad Paine are preparing for another life-altering change: they are having another baby! The parents of five just announced that they will soon have six children under the age of nine (Carson turns eight today--happy birthday, Carson!). Their new YouTube video shows the scavenger hunt that they set up to share the news with their kids.
Ryker Cruise Bates
Trace and Lydia Bates just made a big announcement! They recently nailed down a name for their first child and decided to share it with the world. Their son will be called Ryker Cruise Bates. The parents-to-be uploaded a YouTube video that shows their reveal and features a description of how they chose the names.

The expectant parents just decided on a name and will share it soon.

Chat with Erin and Kelly
"In front of the kids, I always tried to make it a choice to be positive because I strongly believe that your perspective really rubs off on others."
-Kelly Bates
Now that Bringing Up Bates is off the air, fans don't have the opportunity to hear from the very encouraging Gil and Kelly Bates as often as they used to, so some of the Bates kids have used their online platforms to allow viewers this privilege.
In early March, parents-to-be Trace and Lydia asked the parents of 19 to share the story of how they ended up with such a large family. Erin recently sat down for interviews with her mom and mother-in-law. She uploaded her chat with Chad's mom last month and just shared her conversation with Kelly (link below).
