Mothersday

[fundiepredictions]

Someone I know messaged Mama Bates and asked if Isaiah and Sarah have a wedding registry set up. Nosy, I know, but they got a reply stating that they do have one. I've looked everywhere so if there's someone out there more search savvy than I am your mission is to find this registry!

Haha, always good to know there is someone crazier then you are yourself. But this sounds like mama Bates confirmed that Isaiah&Sarah are getting married. That's huge. We suspected it but didn't have it confirmed as far as I knew

Alyssa Webster has been suspiciously absent from Instagram lately. I wonder what's going on.

Hmm, I haven't been paying much attention to her. It's suspious but wouldn't Kelly have waited with telling everyone the stats on how many grandkids she is having when Alyssa is about to announce?

[fundiepredictions]

tell me i'm not the only one shocked that rhett webster is almost 3 years old and alyssa has yet to announce another pregnancy. i know she said she's done, but she's said that twice before so i'm still skeptical.

i ran some numbers and this is officially her longest gap between kids at 1069 days. her next longest gap was between zoey and maci (1018 days) but those numbers are skewed by the fact that she had two heart surgeries between zoey and lexi.

i'm cynical so i'm about 95% certain she'll have at least one more. she's obsessed with newborns so she must be jonesing so hard for another baby right now.

You are not the only one. Definitely not. Someday she will not be able to hold back and have another one. There are simply to many babies being born around her to not get babyfever.

I do want to know how her relation with her family is. Kelly Jo doesn't post any birthdaypost for the Webster kids anymore. I'm very curious why. Not saying they are fighting or something like that.

Kelly Jo called Carson Paine “Charles” on her story- wonder if he’s going by that now?

Yeah, probably. I don't know when but it's a while ago that Erin told in a youtube video (?) that he preffered his first name Charles. Since then she calls him that and apparently Kelly Jo is following Erin's lead.
