I can see Carlin, Josie or both getting married in 2018 or early 2019.<br /><br />Kelton and Josie had a long time of "pre-courtship" or "special friends" and both have finished school and are working. I think they might move a little bit faster than some of the others.<br /><br />Married late this year or early next year then babies could be arriving by late 2019 that would be 39. If Michael is able to have a baby or Erin or Alyssa could have #4 by late 2019 that adds even more.<br /><br />I say 40+ by end of 2019.momofchickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01911441182575183546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-16510665082488937982018-05-18T17:07:56.067-05:002018-05-18T17:07:56.067-05:00That's not true they seem to be closer because...That's not true they seem to be closer because they have each otherPatriciahttp://googlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-68223853669657190992018-05-18T11:48:53.400-05:002018-05-18T11:48:53.400-05:00"A fact in my opinion" is somewhat of an..."A fact in my opinion" is somewhat of an oxymoron. These counts are all meant in fun, and not even posted by the families. <br /><br />It's also pretty harsh to say they "lose out on real relationships" just because they are a big family. I could also claim anyone who works long hours at a job also "lose out on real relationships" with family since "there are only 24 hours in a day for everyone". Or what about soldiers who are deployed, do they also not have real relationships? <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-66011152332668323302018-05-18T10:16:56.421-05:002018-05-18T10:16:56.421-05:0012:15- It's the ONLY reason either family lan...12:15- It's the ONLY reason either family landed a TV show.

Yet they both welcomed Baby #3 into the world last month. So that makes me not really take statements like that at face value. <br /><br />She's also stated when asked how many children she wants in total, vague things such as "We shall see". So I don't get the sense she and Zach plan to stop at 2 children. I'm not stating they definitely will have another baby next year. But I wouldn't be surprised if they do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-89211188073066432222018-05-17T12:15:01.344-05:002018-05-17T12:15:01.344-05:00It's part of the reason they landed a tv show ...It's part of the reason they landed a tv show in the first place, as well as the Duggar clan, because of their LARGE family!

What if they want to stop at 2?<br />Over the last year Whitney has repeatedly said that she doesn't see herself having a third baby, for the moment. She just started a new career, so if they do end up having other kids it looks like it's not happening within the next couple of years! <br />Plus, I really find troubling the concept of being due for a baby. Just because Gil and Kelly had 19, and just because Zach's sisters had three in four years, it doesn't mean that Zach and Whitney will or should do the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-28529033426917817482018-05-17T04:52:44.129-05:002018-05-17T04:52:44.129-05:00These families seem to give the impression that th...These families seem to give the impression that they care more about quantity rather than quality. I'm sorry, but these mega families lose out on real relationships between family members due to time just not available for each of them and to distraction of noise and activity in the home. It's a fact IMO, regardless if you're religious or an atheist.

Here is my thought process behind my guess:<br /><br />2019: Evan, Kelton, baby #3 for Zach & Whitney; 38<br />2020: Carlin & Evan baby, Josie & Kelton baby, Erin & Chad baby #4, Tori & Bobby baby #2; 42<br />2021: Alyssa & John baby #4; Trace married; 44<br />2022: Carlin & Evan baby #2, Josie & Kelton baby #2, Tori & Bobby baby #3, Trace & wife baby #1, Nathan married, Katie married; 50<br /><br />So I guess that they will reach 40 in 2020 and reach 50 in 2022.

And if you're counting new spouses as family, then I'm sure the Bates will be reaching 40 members by 2019. <br /><br />I wouldn't be surprised if either Carlin or Josie marry by the end of this year, and probably by 2019 both will be married. So that's 2 new Bates, making the count 38. Maybe one of the eligible bachelor boys finds a bride by then, too. <br /><br />Even if not, I'm sure there will be at least 2 more babies born by then to make the count 40. Hopefully one will be Michael's! Zach and Whitney seem "due" for Number 3 soon, too.
