As they anticipate the arrival of their baby girl any day now, Trace and Lydia Bates decided to announce the name they have chosen. Lydia had the first name picked out a couple years ago, but she considered a few possibilities for middle names. Their daughter will be Kaia Rae Bates. In their most recent vlog, the couple shares the meaning behind the two names and how they made their choice. They also share some pregnancy updates. Fun fact: This baby will share a middle name with her five-year-old cousin Layla Rae Stewart.
Pretty name! Prayers for a smooth delivery and a healthy baby girl! Ryker will be such a good big brother!
ReplyDeleteThe Bates have several duplicate names in the family
ReplyDeleteWhat help can Ryker be ? He is still a baby himself.
ReplyDeleteHe’s not too young to be taught to treat the baby gently and to watch how his parents treat her and learn compassion and empathy. Children at his age understand and absorb more than we think they do. Besides, he’s growing and soon will be able to help with small tasks, etc.
DeleteA 2 year old can hand you a diaper or other item, and at that age they actually like to "help."
DeleteTen or twenty years in the future, how relevant will anyone in the Bates family still be? Seems all they're doing is having babies. That's not going to last forever. Then what? What good have they done in the world besides that?
ReplyDeleteThose babies grow up and have potential to change the world too, you know.
DeleteThe influence they have on their children and future generations is the one thing that will last. Someone once said “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world “
DeleteThey do a lot of volunteer work, like going to give medical aid and supplies to areas hit by natural disasters, etc.
DeleteAt that time the Bates grandchildren will have baby after baby after baby
Delete9:25,what have you done?
DeleteAll people having babies have a CHANCE TO CHANGE THE WORLD NOT JUST BATES BABIES
