Chasing The Duggars: The Bates from ‘Bringing up Bates’ are expecting the 20th child in the family

Posted on January 26, 2015

So the other TV family with 19 kids also has a family member expecting a baby.

This January 1, The Bates family, consisting of dad Gil, mom Kelly Jo and their 19 children, ages 2 to 25, got their own reality TV show on UPTV after appearing on several episodes of TLC‘s 19 and Counting.

The show, Bringing Up Bates, premiered this January 1 and featured a storyline where the oldest daughter Erin, and her husband, Chad Paine, discovered that they miscarried their first child. However, since that airing, the couple has gong on to conceive again.

Erin shared a sonogram of her baby on her Instagram account this weekend. She wrote:

I’m so glad and relieved that last night’s episode has finally aired! Chad and I have been waiting to share our big news with the rest of the world for quite some time now. The news is true! Chad and I are having a baby! To say that we are thrilled would be such an understatement. 😉 We can hardly contain our excitement as we prepare to be parents. As many of you know, starting a family.

As we reported before, over at The Duggars household, their eldest daughter Jill announced last October that she and her husband Derrick Dillard are expecting their first child. This will be the 4th of 5 grandchildren in the family because Josh Duggar and his wife Anna have 3 kids and announced this past December that they are expecting their fourth child. Jessa Duggar just got engaged to her beau Ben Seewald last August.

It looks in the production of children competition, the Duggars are pulling ahead! ha!

Celebrity Pregnancy: To Hide Pregnancy or Disclose Early

Posted on September 5, 2014

We learned recently that George Clooney’s fiance Amal Alamuddin is not pregnant as widely reported, neither is Duchess Catherine (Kate Middleton), who both were victim to the very common celebrity pregnancy rumors speculation. IB Times even posted a photo essay with proof why the wife to Prince William was not pregnant and dealing with a miscarriage.

Conventional wisdom is to wait until the pregnancy is 3 months along to announce to friends and family. Most celebs do that as well. Currently preggers Kourtney Kardashian didn’t wait and shared news about her second pregnancy when she was only 9 weeks along. Some speculated it was done to deflect attention away from her sister Khloe who was dealing with a troubled marriage at the time. Recently, Michelle Duggar’s daughter Jill Duggar reacted to chatter over her decision to choose to disclose her pregnancy early.

They didn’t even wait for fans to notice a bump and start speculating.

But what about those currently pregnant women who did wait? We went over recent pics and noticed that although they tried Shakira, Zoe Saldana, Mila Kunis and Eva Mendes looked and did things (like cusp their belly) that gave away the fact they really were pregnant even amidst wild buzz that they were expecting!

They fooled no one! Ha! Congrats moms-to-be!

Funny!
