BIRTH IS COMING EARLY? FINAL BABY UPDATE | Q&A 

After baby is born and momma and baby are still in the hospital someone should bring a blanket that the baby was wrapped in back to Duke so he can have a scent of the baby so when you come home Duke will have that familiar smell of the baby already.😊

Biggest tip of all....Tiffany... sleep when baby sleeps night or day. Lawson.... don't hover too much + take a nap occasionally also so you can keep up the pace. Accept help when asked.

Sweetie don’t worry about labor ❤ I was 17 when I had my first baby. 2 hours of labor and that was all pushing. She was 7 lbs 2oz. I only had three stitches ❤ I had both of my children natural with no pain meds. I wasn’t a Christian at that time of my life so I could only imagine how much better it would have been with the faith and love of Lord. Please don’t stress. Enjoy it all ❤ love and prayers to your precious little family ❤

Your son hit the genetics jackpot!!!! He can't lose either way, no matter who he favors❤ Looking like both of you would also be amazing❤

I weighed 98 pounds when I got pregnant.My son was 9 pounds 3 ounces. 22 inches long.Easy delivery.About 5 hours of labour.Good luck Tiff.💙🇨🇦💙

No matter how much you love and want this little guy - NOTHING can truly prepare you for 24/7. You will do fine, but it IS an adjustment.

Remember not to tense up when you’re getting a contraction. Try to concentrate on relaxing your body and breathing through the pain. Ride it out while you are relaxed. It helped me. Hopefully it helps you as well. You got this.

My baby boy is now 53 and I am still enjoying him everyday! Don’t be afraid and enjoy the journey!

I used to work for a homebirth midwife, and the advice we always gave first time moms was, gravity works so standing up getting under a warm shower that is a relaxing way to get through labor. The other things we used to tell them is remember in your head contractions usually don’t last any longer than a minute and you can do anything for a minute! One minute at a time. Blessings to all three of you❣️ As a matter of fact, I worked for the midwife that your sister-in-law, Esther‘s mother went to. I remember when Esther was a little girl.

Tiffany is GLOWING she’s so pretty! Prayers for a safe delivery and healthy baby ❤

Love how Lawson loves full hearted ❤ You guy’s will be Great parents!!!! You guys got this!!!! And God’s got you guys 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️♥️

I'm Praying For Healthy Mom And Baby Boy, It's Going To Be A Joyful Time When Baby Boy Gets Here, Soak every moment up With Baby Boy Because It's Going To Go By So Fast.

Praying for all 3 of you! Try to rest as much as you can before birth.

I think your choice to homeschool is wonderful. Public schools these days are nothing like the public school I attended as a child. You guys are going to be fantastic parents.

Traveling will definitely be different but understand that their will be fits and melt downs, not just by the kids 😉...it is so worth it to experience the world through your children's eyes and an incredible bonding experience. It is actually one of the reasons our RU-vid channel is family travel based, we hope to encourage families to experience life together. Congrats, and can't wait for what God has in store for your family!

I bet Duke is going to be the best ! When we brought home our first son, our shepherd never left my his side from day 1!

Someone said Wyatt Lawson Bates. I love the name Wyatt-it sounds so Old West, like Wyatt Earp! Will be so exciting to see your new little one! Prayers for easy delivery and healthy baby boy! 😊❤

Tiff is so petite, I'm sure Drs., Nurses are watching her close! Prayers for them all and You Tiff, Baby, and Lawson! God is Faithful!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️

Tiffany my 1st pregnancy was short 5 hrs natural @ 32 yrs old!!! Don’t pay attention to negative stories 🙏🙏🙏 for y’all

Lincoln Lawson Bates, Nathaniel Lawson Bates. Your baby is blessed to have you both as parents. Our lord is great.

Pray for normal delivery without complications. You'll do good Tiff. Relax and lot of deep breathing. God bless you all. 😊

And I wanted to just take a minute and give my condolences on Hope because I didn’t know y’all went through that but praise the Lord that baby Hope is back with God. You both are so resilient and truly both lights for the Lord. And it does show that you both lean on the Lord for your comfort and strength and understanding. God is truly blessing you with this little one now.

Father God, thank you for the blessing of life. Continue to guide Lawson and Tiffany as they prepare to bring this child into the world. We ask that you give Tiffany your peace and strength for a safe delivery. Amen 💙

It always feels like you are the first one to give birth with your first one. It’s ok to do what makes you feel comfortable.

July 11 6lbs 5 oz. 🙂 Not every first pregnancy is long labour. I pray you are blessed with quick labour like I was for both my pregnancies. Once my water broke, my first son was born after 45 minutes of active (pain) labour, and my second son was born after 15 minutes. Ill be praying for all 3 of you! God bless! ❤

Can’t wait to see Baby Boy! Praying for a safe and healthy delivery! Love Y’all! Love and Prayers Always

I love the expression “Little Man”. You are both going to be so good as parents. I can’t wait to see little man in your arms.

You all are in my prayers for safe, healthy delivery for Momma an baby boy!!

My first one was 7lbs.13ounces. the day before i got this burst of energy, and bought a Lot of groceries, and made a few dishes for poppa. Some in the freezer. Thats a really good idea. Food already when you get home. beef stew,chili,homemade chunky chicken soup. Youll be grateful you did. Trust me! The next day jason came.

Tiffany looked like she was so uncomfortable and in a little pain, sending prayers for an easy delivery and good health for mom and baby. Love you guys and the videos. Miss watching Bringing Up Bates. Much love !

It is just so sweet watching the two of you together. These are some of the most beautiful moments. Remember to just take it all in, breathe, rest love each other especially when you are really tired. Enjoy your beautiful baby boy.

I hope labor and delivery goes well! My best advice is trust your body and do what you want whether its pain meds or not. Make sure Lawson knows what you want during labor. I was focused and quiet to get through the process of labor and delivery. You both will do great!

So excited for you. It won’t be long now. God bless the three of you. Praying that you have an easy delivery.

Praying for a healthy Moma and a healthy baby!

Lawson, I love your shirt. Y'all will make good godly parents. Your children will be blessed. Praying for a good birth experience.

Dont forget to have him sniff the babies blanket before bringing baby in

Tiffany my firstborn labor was 6 hours. It will be as it is. Welcome each contraction as it brings you that much closer to holding your son.

Tiff, mom of 6 babies here. Make sure to take deep breaths during labor. Intentionally relax during contractions and let your belly "drop", literally think of it dropping instead of tensing and pulling it upward bc of the pain. I got a lot of comments from nurses how calm i am during labor, it's because of something really silly: I sing the Abc's silently or count by 3s in my head through every contraction. It takes my mind off the pain a little plus gives me a way to measure that the end of the contraction is coming (usually right when i start on my second round of abc's). When you feel the baby right there ready to be born, push into the pain, don't hold back and make it longer on yourself. Also love the birthing ball, ask for one. I think it's part of why my labors are very short.

Praying for all three of you, healthy birth baby boy, momma safe and happy! What a precious time for you and your family!

Duke is going to protect his new little brother! 💙💙🐾🐾

Baby bates will be a beautiful blend of lawson and tiffanys looks. God Bless and i cannot wait to meet the little man

So excited for you guys! Praying for an easy labor and healthy mom and baby. 🙏🏻🩵

Maverick Lawson Bates. ❤

I am so excited to see yall with little man. It seems like just a few dads ago that Tiffany was surprising Lawson with this pregnancy

Praying for a healthy baby, and peace and comfort for Tiffany❤ can't wait to meet baby bates

Blessings to you both. This little man is going to change your life. I’m so excited and I could only wish I was a part of your beautiful family so I could experience this new life with you. Prayers for you both. Cannot wait to see this little guy.

Remember to not be so hard on yourself. We all made mistakes and you will too. That’s how you learn. Wishing you the best of luck and love to you both!!!!

So exciting! Praying for a safe delivery and a healthy baby! 💙🙏

So excited and praying for y'all. Also, love "crazy love" y'all sound beautiful together!

My first kiddo was 4 days late; second was 2 weeks early; third and last, on her due date. Each person and pregnancy is different. I had a ton of energy from start to finish. Decades later, I still have people tell me they can't believe how much energy I have. Lol. Suggestions are nice, but ultimately what you decide to prayerfully do is between you all and the Lord. 😀

Wishing you a safe and wonderful delivery. Can’t wait to see pictures your precious baby boy. Homeschooling is perfect for your family because you guys love to travel.

I'm so excited for you two. Praying for a safe and quick delivery. God bless you all. 🙏

Good luck Tiff! Girl you got this.. nothing prepares you for the most euphoric overwhelming love!! ❤️ see you on the other side.

Im praying that the baby comes out safe and healthy love yall bates ❤

You guys got this for sure. I can’t wait to see what he look like. I can’t wait for his name to be announced.

Y’all are a precious couple. Prayers for a safe and pain free delivery

Don't forget to SMASH the thumbs 👍 up😊

I can’t wait for that baby. Y’all are so precious. Love watching your journey. God has blessed y’all❤

Love, love, love Tiff’s voice on the intro song!!!❤❤❤❤

German Shepherd’s are great with children! At least all of them I have been around! They are extremely protective. I am praying for a fast and healthy delivery for all of you!

July 22, 1:15 AM - 6lbs 2oz. Wishing you an easy birth and great joy. Love you guys!

Love you guys. It's gonna be fine Tiffany. Lawson will be a dad that loves and disciplines. United front is the best! Tiffany will be a great mom. I can't wait.

Take 6 weeks to just take it easy on yourself mentally, emotionally, and physically after baby boy is born. Also, the bucket list family is a wonderful example of how you can travel with kids even when they are little. My husband and I traveled with our kids (military family). We have wonderful family memories, even from when they were little. A word of advice is help your little ones learn to adjust. When we were home we had hard and fast rules on bedtime, but when we were traveling we adjusted. If it was for more than a couple of days, we got them back on a looser schedule. Make it work for your family. Don't revolve your life around the "normal" schedule on vacation. The kids (as they get older) will not adjust to change as easily. The kids loved vacation because they looked forward to staying up a little later and us playing games together (even as 4-5 year olds). We have traveled all over Europe and America, and the memories we have made are special treasures. I hope you guys make wonderful ones too.

I think that baby bates will be born July 12 at 3:45 pm and will be 6lb7oz. Cant wait for baby bates ! Hope you guys have a fast and easy delivery!

July 19 - 10:45pm - 7 lb 1 oz. Praying for a happy and healthy baby boy, and momma (you too Lawson). Love y’all.💙🙏

You're going to have the most adorable baby! Enjoy this time !!

What an exciting time for you both. Looking forward to seeing the pics of the newborn.

Sending prayers for you both Lawson and Tiffany we love you 🥰 and praying for less pain for Tiffany .

I absolutely adore the ‘Crazy Love’ song! Your voices definitely should be used for many more songs … they belong together! 💗

July is my favorite month😊 🎉 I was born about 10 weeks early at 2 lb 7 oz in 1971, when I was not due until September. Lawson & Tiff~ my husband & I have a son💙 & daughter🩷 your ages! Sooo happy it has been a healthy pregnancy at full-term for ya'll. I think of you two often~ Julie from SW MO Sending hugs & prayers for continued blessings! ❤❤

Sending y'all prayers and best wishes for a safe and quick delivery.

Make sure when you are at the hospital that you bring home a blanket with the babies scent on it, and that will help the dog to accept him even more be used to snow when he gets home ❤️ blessings and love for a healthy delivery
