“I think I had a heart attack because I was like, ‘there’s no way I can be pregnant.’,” Bates explained. “I was praying for a baby brother and then one day an angel told me that mommy was pregnant, but then I told mommy, and then she said that I couldn’t have one, but then she went to the doctor one time, and the doctor said she was pregnant,” Carson told the camera.īates said that she randomly took a pregnancy test about three weeks after Carson told her his story and got a positive result. The couple shared that the kids had been asking for another sibling, including oldest son, Carson, who shared the cutest story with his mom. After being told that there was a “very small chance” that they would be able to have another baby, the couple relied on their faith and prayed to God for “just one more baby,” they explained in a YouTube video announcing their news. Over the past year, Bates has been open on social media about her health struggles, revealing that she had to have surgeries due to ruptured ovarian cysts that led to internal bleeding and the removal of one ovary, in addition to the removal of two-thirds of her second ovary. “We ARE EXPECTING.and still pinching ourselves to see if it’s real!
