Lydia Bates is approaching her due date with Ryker Bates. Baby boy is measuring small, but the doctor is concerned about possible placenta deterioration and has decided that the birth needs to take place on the early side. For that reason, Lydia will be induced at 38 weeks, on September 12th in the early morning. Expectant parents Trace and Lydia share the details in their most recent YouTube video (link below).

Baby Paine Name Reveal
Lots of baby news for the Bates family! Whitney Bates just delivered Lily Jo Bates, Lydia Bates is nearing her due date with Ryker Cruise Bates, and Josie Balka recently announced that she is expecting #3.
Erin and Chad Paine also revealed news of their own. They have a name for their 6th child, a boy who is due in early December. Like older brother Carson (Charles Stephen Paine IV), this little boy will have a family name. Both Erin's dad and grandfather are William Gilvin, so she and Chad picked the name William Gage. The expectant parents discuss that and answer other questions in their most recent YouTube video (link below).

Lake Day with the Bates
It's no secret that the Bates love the lake. Some of the family members recently met up for boating and swimming, and you can watch footage of their day on Carlin and Evan's YouTube channel (video link below).
The first half of the video details a big purchase that the Stewarts' recently made...a new car. They purchased a Tesla, which is Evan's dream car and also the same brand of vehicle that Katie and Travis Clark have. But for the Stewarts, this purchase wasn't all about fulfilling a dream. Carlin was told by her doctor that she is likely close to being cleared to drive again, and Teslas have fantastic auto pilot features, in case Carlin were to black out. Evan explains that this will give him piece of mind when Carlin is driving.

'Vows' Music Video by Lawson Bates
Lawson just released a new music video. This one is extra special because it features the single "Vows, which he performed a shorter version of when he and Tiffany said "I do" on May 12th, 2022. Lawson co-wrote the song with Adam Wheeler.
The music video is a beautiful, artistic representation of the song, and, of course, includes Tiffany. Filming was quite the production (literally) because transporting a piano into the desert is no easy task. Links to the finished product and a behind the scenes video are below.

Update on Carlin's Health
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.
