Nathan and Esther Bates 7: Being Typical Bates Offspring

[dawn9476]

Esther found out she was pregnant when Nathan was in the Philippines. She was at her parent's house in PA.

They are looking to find property in Arkansas and build their dream house, but they aren't in a rush.

So is the timing that Mama Jane did spill the beans with her comment on IG after Valentines Day?

Yes. She would have been around 6 weeks pregnant. I am sure she told the family then, when they were all together.

And Mama Jane probably didn't know or maybe forgot that they were planning on keeping it just within the family for a while.  It looks like they knew they couldn't hide it anymore, since Esther is starting to show a little so they finally decided to confirm it.

I’m late to the game, but wasn’t there an insider saying Tiff, Esther and Katie were all pregnant and not announcing yet? 
two down one to go… if so.

I would say that the insider was probably correct and now we are just waiting on Katie. I’m sure they will make an announcement by putting a big sister shirt on Hailey or something similar.

Probably, I also bet that Katie will wait until they are in Knoxville. I feel like Katie is probably about as far as long as Esther.

I think they were always going to announce after Tiffany (as she is so much further along). They also let Lawson and Tiffany record and monetize the whole thing. So I think waiting til their joint vacation was always the plan.

I'm going to (very reluctant) give some credit to Nathan and Ester for not having their own Youtube-channel.

Isn’t the bar just so low in the Bates family? I’m so sick of their faces and the exploitation of their kids.

Addie's in AR visiting Nathan and Esther. Other people in the picture. are Jennifer Duggar on the far right. Then I think it's Katrina Wissman, who is sister-in-law to Hannah Duggar, Her husband, Nate, is also close with Jackson Bates. They were in each other's weddings. Next is Katey Duggar's sister, Lauren. Then Addie and Esther. Last one is Elizabeth Bontrager.

ETA: Someone on DuggarSnark thinks the baby Jennifer Duggar is holding is Gunnar Forsyth, which would  mean Joy was probably there, too. She just wasn't in this picture.

Makes sense. Jenni was in Jill’s buddy group  and then Joy was leader after jill married. Then blatant adoration and missing of Jill (and Jordyn of Jessa) always made me sad because it was like watching a child loose its mother.

I thought the baby boy was Katrina Wissmann’s baby. I believe his name is Theodore.

Yeah, I think Gunner Forsyth is a bigger kid.
