ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with you people? It is not right to have that many children.
ReplyDeleteIt's not right to have 2 children?
DeleteErin only has one..............
DeleteJust so you know when I said Erin only has one I was responding to the lady that said she has to many. Your response wasn't posted when I submitted mine. Just want to clear that up.
DeleteWhat? Are you a Christian? Do you read scripture ?
DeleteLove multiples not divides.in a large family.
DeleteA woman knows when she has had enough of child bearing. Who are you or anyone else to say anything about a ( Christian) couples decision on the size of their family ?
DeleteThe bible says children are a blessing.
Delete@Annonymous 2-18/ 8:01 pm. Yes, children are a blessing from the Lord. So is wisdom a blessing. When your body has a serious clotting disorder wisdom would say to give your body a rest. Or...be thankful for one. I actually find it selfish to risk your life when your are already a wife and mother because of some false doctrine forbidding any contraception.
DeleteWhat? Too many children ?? She only has one child ! And besides, she's not a young, unmarried teen , she's a married woman. She wouldn't be raising them alone. What's wrong with having a family ? And what is too many children ? Each and every woman knows when she has had enough. Some women decide at two. Some at 4. Others at 8. And a few at 19. God bless Kelly ! I couldn't have done it. God Bless her !
DeleteYAY. i love your family so sweet. congrats girly. all the best. praying for a healthy baby and mama. congrats to dad and BIG BROTHER :)
ReplyDeleteSo excited for them! Praying for all to go well. May Jesus bless you and keep you safe :)

ReplyDeleteHope all goes well and you don't have to go thru all those shots again. If you do, so be it. A healthy baby and mommy are what's important. Congratulation So happy for the entire Bates family. In-Laws too!
ReplyDeleteI pray for Chad and Erin. A new addition is a blessing even if it is a surprise. So many more changes and more responsibilities. I know you can handle it, but you definitely will be tired during that first year, adjusting. Each pregnancy is different. I will pray that this one will be much easier delivery. You make a loving couple and your children will be proof of your amazing love for each other and the Lord. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteAm happy for you Erin. You do make a wonderful mother. Am glad you have both your mother and siblings near. It helps out. Carlin was such a blessing for you during the arrival of Carson. Remember to always give Chad time. Find the time to go out and be a couple. You and Dad won't mind watching the little ones.
DeleteSooooo exciting!
ReplyDeletePraying for you all and can't wait to "meet" your new little one.
*huge smile*
So happy for your sweet family, wouldnt ever miss an episode of Bringing up Bates, God bless your wonderful family, all 30 of them!!
ReplyDeleteErin and Chad, So happy for you. I am continuing to pray for you.Just like I did for your other pregnancies. I feel like something needs to be said about people being critical of Erin here.You don't know how anything happened with her latest pregnancy. They said it was a surprise. I had six miscarriages three live births and to say those miscarriages were a mistake when I have three amazing, beautiful of body and mind daughters would break my heart because I grieved long and hard for those six babies. Unless you know them personally I think only positive things should be posted. Having a high risk pregnancy is hard enough something I am intimately familiar due to a chronic disease I have.So congratulations again Erin and Chad. May God bless you and your new baby.Cannot wait to see if its a boy or a girl.
