Meet Theodore Lawson Bates

On 16th January 2026, Lawson and Tiffany Bates finally announced the birth of their second son, Theodore Lawson Bates "Theo". This came after several, dragged-out YouTube videos, Instagram reels and speculation. Theo had been born over a month earlier on 9th December 2025. He joins an older brother, William Daniel "Will" (17 months).

Pregnancy Announcement

The family announced the pregnancy on 9th June 2025 when Tiffany was 84 days along (12 weeks, 0 days). This was earlier than with Will, who was a post-loss pregnancy. Their new average to announce is Day 109 (15 days, 4 weeks). They then announced the gender on Day 241 (34 weeks, 3 days), which was later than with Will. Their new average to announce the gender is Day 225 (32 weeks, 1 day). Once again, they announced the baby's name before announcing their birth, so this will be assumed to continue for any future pregnancies.

Effect on the Data

As a second child, Theo's data is used to calculate the second child multiplier for all predictor families. This currently stands at 1.7 (meaning a second pregnancy spacing will be 1.7x longer than the marriage-firstborn spacing). Theo is an outlier here. The spacing from Will to Theo was actually shorter than the spacing from Lawson and Tiffany's wedding to their first, lost pregnancy. It has also been used in the 25-30 maternal multiplier age group, the current average spacing in this age group is 659 days, so this pregnancy was faster than average. Otherwise, the data for this pregnancy will only be used to predict Lawson and Tiffany's future spacings.

So What Next?

A third pregnancy is predicted using the third child multiplier. This currently stands at 1.25 and estimates a third child will arrive 1.25x slower than a second child. This leads to a predicted spacing of 635 days. The couple are predicted to announce a further pregnancy in April 2027 and deliver that September. They are predicted to have eight children in total.

Its funny because even though none of these pregnancies are REALLY shocking, Chad and Erin expecting is probably the least shocking of any.

That being said that leaves Carlin, Alyssa, Tori and Micheala as not pregnant for the Bates this year and 6 months still left in the year! The next non surprise would be Alyssa and I’d bet my savings that Carlin will announce a pregnancy before the end of the year. Tori is iffy but I could see it happening around either christmas or before the end of January. Micheala is and always will be the wild card depending on the approach they take (keep trying naturally, medical help, or adoption).

I know the majority of fundies have reprehensible beliefs and I don't think anyone should support those beliefs in any way.

But I think we should be mindful of comments, posts, interactions, etc. We're a community of primarily women, and many of us are even young women who have similar life experiences to these women we follow. I think it's really harmful to only want to criticize and hurt them for their lifestyles.

Now I'm a snarker y'all, I'll snark on here all day. But I think we forget that so many of these girls are a step away from childhood, even if they're married with families.

When I was that age I was still battling with my relationship with my church, and only because I'd been fortunate enough to have SOME outside influences.

Maybe most of these girls won't leave. But I think we all should be very careful in our interactions with them, however brief. They're young, they're shouldered with a lot, and all of it is broadcasted on tv.
