BATES FAMILY IN TOWN - BABY WILLIAM APPOINTMENT - CAR RIDE Q&A WITH MOM!

We are so excited to have family in town for my brother Jackson's wedding this weekend! My parents are staying in Central Florida for a few days and we're soaking up time with them (especially the kids who are enjoying the pool and are quite literally soaking it up!).
My mom was able to join me for a doctors appointment for Baby William this week which was such a blessing for me. Usually I'll have to go alone as Chad watches our children, so it was a special visit where my mom was able to meet my doctor, hear William's heartbeat, and learn more about how the pregnancy is going as we continue to countdown the weeks (maybe even days!).
On the drive home, we had a "Car Ride Q&A" where I was able to ask my mom some questions and she responded with some of her own. I find my mom to be a wealth of knowledge and I am so encouraged when she shares her wisdom with me (and I'm grateful to be able to share it with you).
During the Q&A session I referenced an author and books that are wonderful for marriage. The author is Gary Thomas and the 3 books I recommended are:
1. Sacred Marriage
2. Cherish (*My Favorite*)
3. Making your marriage a fortress
I hope this video will encourage you and bring a smile to your face today!
We love you!
Chad & Erin

I love how your Mom is so excited for every baby born in your family, each time it’s like it’s the only grand baby that’s been born!❤️

[@danielleelias685]

So true. All those kids in the Bates Family are so very blessed to have such great godly and loving parents. And all the kids will have so many cousins.

[@sharonnorthern1525]

I don’t have near as many grandchildren as Kelly but I can tell you, each grandbaby is just as exciting as the first!

[@kimdrevas4984]

Me too

[@piperhomestead5698]

I so wish Kelly and Gil would start a KZbin channel!!! I miss them!😢❤

[@jazzysingle95]

Me too

[@wendyouellette]

I would love it too but they’re in the IBLP like the Duggars and I don’t believe in it. Thankfully Chad and Erin aren’t part of it.

[@danielleelias685]

Yes my husband and I hated when the show stopped filming. I am so happy that many of their kids have channels so we can keep up with the family. They are all so wonderful.

[@andreasupermommy]

Agree! They are have a wealth of wisdom and knowledge that can help so many!!

[@donnatorres7145]

Yes please! I miss them so much! Have a blessed day.

[@garyandbeverlyneeble2028]

Kelly is so precious. She certainly is a fount of wisdom with babies. You all are a beautiful, precious family. I’m so thankful for your love for the Lord. My husband is with the Lord now, but he was that understanding kind of husband with me. ❤.

[@sherrywiley4817]

I'm so sorry for your loss. Praying God surrounds you with His peace and comfort. 🙏💗🙏

[@blancallara1719]

Wow just to hear you both together was so wonderful because you both are very wise and spiritual women. Kelly felt so much joy in hearing Erin speak from the heart and if course vice versa. A wealth of knowledge for us to hear. I felt so privileged. May God bless you both and continue to fill you with wisdom and love 💕🙏🙏❤

[@lindabegg4328]

Mama B needs to write a book or start a podcast or a vlog to share her wisdom! I love listening to her share her experiences and wisdom. The world needs it. ♥️

[@alexandraclark6581]

I just adore Kelly and Erin! They are so much alike and you can see how special and close their mother/daughter relationship is! I could hear them talk all day!!! So so inspiring! Also, can we just take a minute to be amazed by how present Kelly is for ALL of her children and their exciting life milestones? She is an amazingly devoted wife and mother! 🥰👏🏻🙏🏻💗

[@jenaemarieAZ]

Kelly never ceases to amaze me! She is definitely close to the Lord - it's obvious in everything she says and does. She is truly a treasure!

[@brittanyrains6874]

I just had a miscarriage a month ago and Kelly’s words to trust in God during your fears gave me such peace for a future pregnancy ❤️

Mama Bates is gorgeous, all of her children are absolutely beautiful, she looks so good and she has such an amazing heart. I know she has to be so happy that all of her children have turned out such good people, and they are all amazing mothers because of her.

[@sarahsibert5548]

[@ddinottia39]

I love how Ms. And Mr. Bates travel to be there for everyone of their daughters child births! ❤️

That van talk was incredibly therapeutic. Erin your mom is a wealth! You all had me in tears. Kelly Jo you are really something special ❤😊

[@peggybrown1154]

I always soak up the wisdom that Mrs. Bates shares. She has such a kind voice also. Maybe she would write a book someday on her wealth of knowledge.

[@TerriSpringer]

What a wonderful relationship between mother and daughter. I’m glad everyone will be able to be together for this sweet wedding.

[@suestephan3255]

Chad is her life partner, her battle partner and he is a wonderful godly man. She will never feel alone. He will hold her and pray with her and be present with her. Blessed indeed

[@riah_90]

You are so intentional to be so encouraging with your channel. That's so amazing! Chad and Erin truly strive to put the Lord first in everything (marriage, kids, etc) such a wonderful testimony!

[@MontanaGirl66]

Your mom is such a beautiful person inside and out. ❤️I always love seeing her and hearing from her.

[@pamelahenderson7573]

Your mom is a wise woman of God, her voice is so comforting ❤

[@suestephan3255]

Her secret is not secret, Kelly Jo stays close to the Lord, spending time with Him, praying and listening then following Him. 😍❤️

[@wendyouellette]

@@suestephan3255yes but do you agree that they’re part of the IBLP Cult like the Duggars? That’s the only problem I have with the family except Chad and Erin are Not part of it at all.

Is it weird to want to be a member of your family lol 😊 just love you guys💗

[@kathy3178]

I always get excited to watch a video with Mama B. She has such good words of wisdom and a love for her family that shows.

[@joellaogilvie2744]

I am a widow and the thing that I really loved when my husband was alive was taking a trip in the car. I would read to my husband as he drove. It was always a way to discuss what we were reading and to get closer to each other.

[@barbarabavier675]

Me too! I sure miss those times.

[@ReeseJ.]

Kelly looks like Erin’s sister she has not aged since their show… I miss that show one of the best on tv i watch re-runs all the time ! I can’t get over how young Kelly looks the most beautiful family I’ve ever seen 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@rebeccamcallister8038]

Your family is so very blessed to have a mother such as Kelly Jo. I would love to just draw from her authentic wisdom!

[@kindnessmatters4068]

Momma Bates is so right about fears... ❤ I have had all high risk pregnancies... lots of fears... the 10th of August, this year, I was rushed into emergency C-section at 31wks along... ❤ was so scary and how sick i was made me feel so low and weak emotionally and spiritually... but having Jesus is what got me through... im so so glad I can trust Him! Our teeny preemie just came home last week and we cannot thank Him enough for how good He has been, for the miracles He has performed in our lives this year. ❤ My favorite song right now is, "Im Not Afraid To Trust Him", by the Blythe family. Was listening to it right before they came in and told me that I wouldn't last another day and if we wanted our sweet baby girl to survive we would have to go into C-section within the hour.❤

[@melindaj4423]

I had 2 c sections, and don't think they are that bad to have, in my experience. My second baby was a nightmare pregnancy. I had a lung condition, as I had pneumonia during pregnancy, in which I was hospitalized. My lungs were crowded and they were looking for an excuse to do an early birth, and did stress tests, but she passed them all. Finally, I was hospitalized right before 37 weeks, and my water broke on the floor of my room suddenly, to my utter shock. My husband had prayed for direction, then I call him about half and hour later and tell him my water broke, and I was prepped for emergency surgery. After hours after birth, the baby was taken by ambulance to a hospital with a NICU. My husband then would come see me at Hospital A and then drive to Hospital B to see the baby. It goes for an interesting birth story.

[@rondahoward5341]

Your children have wonderful role models to guide them! The best gift you can give your children is to love and respect each other and walk with the Lord!

[@beckysmith1602]

Its no wonder God blessed Kelly and Gil 19 children!! They are the most beautiful people!! Kelly and Gil are a wealth of knowledge and great hearts!! Love to everyone!! Congratulations Jackson and Emerson!!❤❤❤🎉🎉

[@judyshepplt3086]

Thank you.Kelly and Erin... This was just so nice to see mom and daughter bonding and talking. What a bright light in this world you both are. Erin and Chad, I will be praying for the safe delivery of baby William. Erin make sure you get some rest..

[@heidibarr7820]

Playing Erin's 45 minutes of Peaceful Piano Hymns is a way that helps me calm my fears. It fills our home with reverence and peace and pushes away the overwhelming cares of the world. I praise God for the amazing gift He's given her! Thank you, Erin, for the way you and Chad point people to Jesus and honor Him with your family. ❤

[@pamelanelson4959]

I could sit and listen to Kellie talk all day! She is a very wish woman! I really wish her and Gill would get their own KZbin channel!

[@Carebear-hw3jr]

Hahaha Jeb's advice!! "Put them to sleep and go have fun!" 🤣😂

[@Deanna_422]

Mama Bates I love the passage from Matthew 6.21. In November 14th 1985 I gave birth to my 1st child . A child born out of trauma. He lived only 3 months I heard that bible verse I knew no matter how long I had him with me he needed a name . I named him Matthew. I struggled a lot over these 30 plus years but I returned to that bible verse and it eases my soul. I know people have different opinions on tattoos but I wanted to keep my son close so I had a tattoo of a teddy bear with Matthew 6.21 under it. ❤

[@ddinottia39]

I love it! Sorry for your lil angel 😇! God bless you! 🙏❤️

[@fatimag.9985]

Kelly is full of such wisdom. Please have her on more often!!!

You two - and all the married Bates children, actually - are blessed to have such close marital relationships! I lost my husband of 30 years in 2019, and I miss the special relationship we had, every day. There’s no one else who can know your heart by just a look or a touch.

I just adore Chad and Erin they’re such an inspiration to me and I’m older. Already raised my children but I’m happy they were raised in a Christian Home, Church, Christian School but there’s so many things that have changed and more books etc I wish were available back then. This was a leaning experience no matter our age with our husband now. Just loved it! 💜✝️

[@gailknowles3804]

Erin, you and Chad are an absolute inspiration to me. You were raised in the way of the Lord and you have not departed from it. Kelly Jo, you and Gil have done an amazing job of raising your children to follow God's Loving Laws and I know that big blessings are coming your way!!! Thank you for your testimony and witness and may God richly bless you all!

[@lisaherring7725]

Mama Bates what I love about you is the honesty and the ability to show you are not perfect. You are real and genuine.

[@WhichGospelSavesU]

I always love the deep conversations with you Mrs. Bates. You really get beneath all the fluff (“christianese talk”) and get to the things that really make a difference. You’re so right, it’s so important to get on that same page with your spouse and make a plan together beforehand, because the last thing you want to do going into a stressful and physically painful situation is assume your spouses’ needs and wants. Purposefully setting time aside to communicate, listen and pray together is key. I can imagine, even if all you have is a few minutes, you sharing some of your wisdom and having some girl talk on your own channel. I’d really would look forward to that! Blessings to you and to each member of your wonderful family!
