People really need to stop asking mothers and fathers when they’re gonna have another baby. It is an incredibly personal thing and a very sensitive issue, especially when there’s a history of miscarriage or other health concerns. And above all, it’s really no one’s business but the parents’ themselves. God bless y’all.
I agree a lot of people my age when they were first married they constantly got that. Even now with my nieces and nephews being married. What we don't know, and even I don't ask my family, is what is going to be on behind the scenes. Unfortunately, a lot of members of my family and close friends had either trouble conceiving or were unable to conceive. So whenever they were asked, the emotions were even harder for now.❤
I LOVE the beautiful respect you show to one another!! That is a level of maturity that is rarely achieved at such a young age. May God continue to bless your precious little family! ❤
@@Oururbanhomestead1966 what is religions got to do with rushing to have another baby? If they're ready, we can only support. Beside a baby is a gift, there's no exact date on calender when they're gonna come.
Have the next baby when you want and feel ready💕 My babies are 2 yrs 3 months apart and it’s the best thing ever!! Hate seeing all the negativity about babies being too close. I love love love it and honestly it wasn’t as huge of an adjustment as going from none to one! Currently holding my five month old dreaming of having more. Just wanted something positive here about babies closer in age (I’d even do it closer than mine are if I could!) :)
I am with you, Lydia, about being irritated by the squeaky shoes in basketball 🏀 Thank you for sharing that. I thought it was just me 😂 God bless you guys!
I’d like to see a day in the life vlog! You are so sweet to each other and very compatible. Ryker is so precious! Love your family and love the new couch!
if you guys are old then what am I ? An antique maby 😂I’m old enough to be your guys mum I remember going through the whole immigration waiting and waiting month passing and nothing mine was not as complicated as for you Lydia and your family It’s moving so slow while you are living in the middle of it I’m keeping y’all in my thoughts and prayers that it will speed up so you guys get result and updates for you and the family ❤
No rush on more children. Just enjoy Ryker and if you choose to have more, a three year gap is a good space. He'd be much more independent and much more helpful with a baby. Two year old and a small baby is tough.
You are such a sweet family. Totally understand about the miscarriage. May God bless you. Ryker is adorable and those blue eyes are sweet. That’s great Trace you can help out your Dad some. I’m sure he appreciates you boys.
My husband and I both dark eyes ended up with 2 out of 5 kids with blue eyes and it came from my grandparents. It's crazy how the genes come through. He's adorable!!
I love your new sofa but I am totally confused as I thought you recently bought a super large one so you could accomodate extended family coming over to visit, watch a football game, eat dinner, etc.
Really,who would think about how tall someone is compared to their partner. Personally I don't understand why people would ask some of the questions they do. I guess I just don't feel the need to pry into people's personal business or their space. Thank you for sharing your videos. God Bless You All 🙏❤️😊
Don’t feel pressured to have another baby… I believe the Lord will surprise y’all at the perfect time. Also time has went fast since your precious baby was born into heaven. Getting in shape physically and spiritually is good too as you never know when it will happen. Keep healing and enjoying Ryker and your time as a family of 3 . Most importantly pray individually and together so y’all can be in line with Gods design . Amen. 🙏🏽 🤗🥰
Episode idea: I was raised in Anderson county and I still have family living there and in Knox County. There are so many cool places where you live why not show us your favorite places to shop, eat, etc.?
Oh yes this would be awesome. And/or what special events do you have in the area? Am I a immediate area we have historical places so there's the Native American month there is a pow wow here in the beginning of September which is just lovely. In the next 2 weeks is heritage month so there's a lot of 1800s events. Lots of arts and crafts, antique car shows, fairs with carnivals just all kinds of wonderful things. Michigan has so much history in activity I really love living here. But I do say, if I ever move it would be to Tennessee. Michigan does not have extreme weathers, which is nice. Are lakes are truly colder than yours just one reason I want to move to Tennessee I want to swim longer through the year. You are a more conservative state, which is what I want. Plus your cost of living is far less than Michigan, far less.
Your younger than my kids. 5 grandchildren. Your still young. Stop aging yourself. Time goes fast enough. ❤❤❤❤❤XOXO LOVE from New Zealand 🇳🇿 ❤️ GOD BLESS 🙌
We had our first six children in a space of seven years then a three year gap to the next one after some miscarriages . i found it super tricky having such a space and returning back to tiny baby needs and lost sleep , so we have been blessed with another two in quick succession since then and life feels good and busy . Everyone’s number and spacing is different, you will know what God has planned for you. Trust in His timing 😊
I have enjoyed watching your TH-cam channel and hearing your answers to these questions! Thanks for sharing this video! 😊❤. Take your time getting pregnant with baby number two , keep enjoying your time with your baby boy while he still young. Those babies grow so quickly and fast. 😊❤.
Continued Prayers for y’all, hopefully all the court stuff will be ending sooner than later so that you no longer have that hanging over your heads. God’s perfect timing he will bless you with another sweet Angel to love xoxo
Thanks for sharing. Comfort wise I ‘get’ the new couch features but sometimes it feels like more things to break down. I’m short and still appreciate the taller back. Still I’d miss the welcoming feel of your larger previous couch. You three are a beautiful family!
Enjoy the whole volg. I’ve been wondering about your skin condition thanks for addressing it. I’ve been praying will continue just like your immigration situation. Beautiful family. Thanks for sharing your family with us. Praying daily for you all. God Bless!! Much love
I'm from E. TN and the land is limited and it's expensive so only one income doesn't help with that situation but medical sucks in Knoxville so keep that in mind as well!
You all are not old. lol. I like your nail color Lydia. Yay for the exciting immigration news. I’m glad that you’re on the down side of your water allergy flare up. Enjoy precious Ryker. Let your body heal fully for sure. And it’s okay to take time to heal emotionally too.
Love watching y'all, I live just outside of Norris I remember watching Carlin and Evan when they lived in Norris also,my husband knows Gil y'all are such sweet people.
Oh you two are very young. Never get to be an old couple . We are 84 and 74 and we love each other deeply and enjoy hanging with the younger crowd . We sing we travel and like to laugh
My child is just a little bit older and she still cries when she is alone waking up from a nap. She stops when we are coming to get her cause she feels safe; that‘s my explanation for this behaviour.😊
Thank you for this. I was trying to find the rt words to portray that. Children are still developing and learning things they don't manipulate. They know who is their safe person and gravitate to them.
I never liked baseball either until our son became obsessed. He is now 21, and I know more about baseball (and all sports) than I ever wanted to, but I love connecting with him, even over baseball.
Ok guys. Thanks for the ad we are looking to get a new sofa when we move in a few months and it is a smaller living room so this just might be the sofa for us.😀
My babies are 3.5 years apart and best of friends and played together all the time. I had miscarriage between my first and second. After that i had this understanding that you didn't tell anyone you were pregnant until after a certain spot. As a grandma i would say that was dimb and traumatizing. Truth is you're going to morurn that baby and teaching the people around you for support is crucial. You would never hide rykers existence and shouldn't hide any other baby
I have 9 kids and paced myself with the first 3…they are all 3 years apart each but after we had 6 in 7 years….both have their pros and cons. Do what God wills for you guys. ❤
How funny, my grandpa’s business was doing parking lot striping and basketball courts for schools, and other types of parking lot and play court painting as well as making the concrete parking bumpers or whatever you call the low type concrete car stops in parking lots. He made the bumpers in their backyard and ran the business from their house for many, many years. It was a great business that he operated until he sold it when he retired.
In the keto groups I'm in many report their skin clears up and over time they don't break out in acne. It's a low carb diet if that might interest you to look into.
Hi Lydia and Trace I love your q&A just love them. I saw a hurricane Helen was hitting Florida really hard but it also hit Rocky top and South Carolina. So how is everybody doing? Of course, that always includes your family too Lydia.
Yes a daily would be fun 😊❤ take your time with baby 2 they grow up so fast enjoy Ryker I have my first two are two years apart and it was very hard Lydia . When there 3 and 4 years apart it was definitely easier because there more independence that really helps .
Still sending prayers for Lydia and also her family. ❤❤❤Thanks for the updates and sharing your life with us all❤ And yes day in the life video would be great ❤❤❤
You guys are awesome parents…no need to rush on Baby #2…just enjoy Ryker cuz this year will be so much fun with him walking, growing and milestones…and fly by. Your new sofa looks great. What happened to sofa #1? lol. 💙💙💙
My favorite Bates family! I love that you've not changed you're beliefs and not trying to "keep up" with other family vloggers. You're actually the only family channel I follow now. The rest seem so fake or trying to "out do" and compete with one another. Love you guys ❤
Yes, I would love a day in the life video. Did you not film Ryker's birthday party? I totally get that some things need to be kept private but I was just curious because I didn't see a birthday party video.

1000% agree with your statement.
I agree. I'm relatively sure that they will announce when they are having more children but until then, the question is too invasive.
My boys are almost 4 years apart. Enjoy Ryker on his own before thinking of having another. Going from 1 child to 2 is a HUGE adjustment.
I LOVE the beautiful respect you show to one another!! That is a level of maturity that is rarely achieved at such a young age. May God continue to bless your precious little family! ❤
Take your time having baby no.2. Enjoy Ryker right now. They grow up so fast. Have a great weekend.
wait a couple yrs before you have another child
I agree, people in this religion seem to rush into having baby after baby.

Y’all are so precious and such good role models for young couples and families, may the Lord bless your sweet little family.❤❤❤
if you guys are old then what am I ? An antique maby 😂I’m old enough to be your guys mum

Heck, I'm old enough to be their grandma 😂. Everyone is getting old. If we weren't getting old, we'd be dead😂
Lol! I am also old enough to be their grandma!! 😂
If they're old, I'm older than dirt 🤣🤣
Granny here.

My husbands is from Fiji 🇫🇯 and not only is it gorgeous, but the people are wonderful and so hospitable 💕 definitely a wonderful dream vacation spot

Traces older sister Michaela did a video on this recently- channel is called Keilen Corner
Yes, Lydia!! The squeaking sneakers makes it impossible for me to watch basketball!
You guys are great! I love the bates. Ty for sharing your lives with us.

Thank you for your updates. We will see you in the next video. Have a blessed Saturday night.❤❤
A day in the life video would be great.
Thanks for sharing. Comfort wise I ‘get’ the new couch features but sometimes it feels like more things to break down. I’m short and still appreciate the taller back. Still I’d miss the welcoming feel of your larger previous couch. You three are a beautiful family!
I agree, the other couch was very much welcoming to there big family members. But it’s their home after all.❤
I’m with Lydia! I really don’t like to watch baseball at all. And the shoes squeaking in basketball gets on my nerves!! 😂😂😂
Good to hear you are doing okay healthwise, Lydia.
Yes definitely do a day in the life
DON’T rush it. Enjoy him where he’s at now. Don’t rob him of your time.
hope y’all have a very blessed Saturday trace and Lydia and Ryke
I am with Lydia on the basketball question.
I love watching you guys on the TH-cam station y’all are awesome. God bless you.

Yes!!! A day in the life for sure!!!
At 1 he isn’t crying to trick you, he has worked out how to communicate but it’s not coming from a place of manipulation
My child is just a little bit older and she still cries when she is alone waking up from a nap. She stops when we are coming to get her cause she feels safe; that‘s my explanation for this behaviour.😊
Thank you for this. I was trying to find the rt words to portray that. Children are still developing and learning things they don't manipulate. They know who is their safe person and gravitate to them.
I don’t agree sorry Ryker needs to learn how to soothe himself. You can’t always be going to pick him up every time he makes a little peep.
@@donnalaberge9585 a one year old doesn’t need to self sooth 😂
@@anarhlia yes they do or they’re going to expect you to just jump it. Everything little noise they make.
DITL would be great! Ryker is such a cutie!
I would definitely watch a day in our life vlog.❤
Yes! Do a day in the life. ❤
I never liked baseball either until our son became obsessed. He is now 21, and I know more about baseball (and all sports) than I ever wanted to, but I love connecting with him, even over baseball.

So glad the visa is getting sorted🎉❤
I look forward to all of your videos! I love your family! God bless you all! 🙏❤
I pray yall are safe. I know some flooding has happened in Tennessee, and I pray ya'll haven't been affected.
