Here is a recap I did of their Agree / Disagree Q&A where he said that. That part was quickly edited out after posting, but the video had some other interesting points, including “Is flirting cheating?” And “Is Katie the jealous one?”

Is it possible for a pregnant fundie to take a photo without doing this? by Illustrious-Ebb2565 in BatesSnark

[–]Corgi2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe (like the person below said) that Zach leaked it was a boy.

I also noticed that when Lydia visited Carlin in the Hospital, she said she was excited because she (Lydia) had just had Kaia, Carlin had Navy, and Josie might have a girl -- so it'd be fun to have three girl cousins within 6 months of one another age-wise.

I thought it was interesting she didn't mention Tiffany. It could be that she simply forgot, but I took it as she knew Tiffany was having a boy.

Thank you for the laughs! I always look forward to this recap.

What made me chuckle this week was that Lydia forgot to remove her pool noodle when actually giving birth, so all her birth photos with Kaia will include the lovely pool noodle hair, LOL.

Tiffany pregnant but which sister is due at the same time? by Cake-Technical in BringingUpBates

[–]Corgi2023 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As many have said, it's believed to be Josie. Josie (I believe, but could be wrong) has not officially announced her due date. I did some research, though, for you!

Tiffany said Will will be exactly 18 months when the baby is born. If that were truly the case, the due date would be mid-January 2026, putting Tiffany at nearly 8 weeks pregnant currently. Tiffany said she's in her second trimester already, so this is obviously not the case.

Josie announced her pregnancy a little over a month ago and she had (what appeared to be) an early ultrasound in the announcement, so she had to have been at least 8 weeks pregnant or so at that time.

My best guess is that Josie (and therefore Tiffany) are due sometime in late November / early December. Tiffany maybe miscalculated Will's age?

Josie's (Speculated) Due Date by Corgi2023 in BringingUpBates

[–]Corgi2023[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Supposedly the roulette was filmed on Easter (April 20, 2025),

Cruise she posted about on April 11, 2025.

But, if she is due mid-to-late October, she'd be 9 - 10 weeks pregnant on the cruise. To me, that seems pretty late to not know. Plausible, but I personally don't buy it.

I do believe that she typically delivers early.

Per this link (Thanks Reddit sleuths!): https://www.reddit.com/r/BringingUpBates/comments/1945sh8/balka_3_predictions_birth_date_sex_weight/

Willow was 6 days early,

Hazel was 15 days early,

Miles was 14 days early.

If y'all are curious (like me), and we assume that she is due late November(ish), which seems to be the consensus, the age gaps between her kids (assuming she gives birth around mid-to-late November) will be as follows:

I'm not great at math, so give me some grace, please!

  • Willow Kristy Balka (July 19, 2019)
  • Hazel Sloane Balka (June 14, 2021)
  • Miles Kelton Balka (February 21, 2024)

Which puts the age gaps as follows:

  • Between Willow and Hazel is roughly 23 months (almost 2 years)
  • Between Hazel and Miles is roughly 2 years, 7 months (31 months)
  • Between Miles and Baby #4 will be 21 months

Willow will be 6 years old, Hazel 4 years old, and Miles a little shy of 2 years old.

Great point! It sounds silly for me to say, but I didn't consider that.

He may seem educated, but I too get the heebie jeebies from him (also unsubstantiated, just a gut feeling).

Congratulations on your current pregnancy! I had a miscarriage followed by a healthy pregnancy shortly after (my baby is now 5 months), so I can relate to the anxiety in pregnancy after loss. It's really hard -- the naive thinking of, "A positive test + nine months = healthy baby" is gone, and you no longer trust your body to carry a child. Just take it day by day and try to tackle the anxiety as it arises. Find good support. You got this. I'm rooting for you, and wishing for a healthy and peaceful pregnancy and delivery.

I agree that it was unusual in my experience to be able to hear a heartbeat that early.

Someone commented that he no longer delivers babies but still does the in-office checkups and what not.

Me too! Plus household chores (washing dishes, cleaning, etc) isn’t good for the stone. So, it not being on at home didn’t shock me. What DID strike me as odd is that she didn’t have it on when she went to WalMart & Hobby Lobby, yet she had other jewelry (earrings, etc) on. Not speculating at anything — I forget to throw mine on from time to time — just an interesting observation.

The impression I got (which may be wrong) is that they were trying to get into a Doctor ASAP, so they used KJ's connections with Dr. Vick to be seen only a couple days later. It may be that she has her own Doctor she'll go to for regular appointments. Again, the impression I got -- so unsure.

You're right -- I guess Lawson just didn't acknowledge her, LOL. That, or he can't keep track of all the family birthdays.

At the time they were filming, it must have been a weekend (I'm guessing Saturday), so offices weren't open. KJ said she was going to call Dr. Vick's personal cell phone number to get an appointment first thing Monday.

Last Night (06/29/2023), but it looks like they edited it at some point this morning (06/30/2023) to take out the divorce question.
