GrandBates updates!
It's time to update on Baby boy Paine and Baby Stewart. Both babies are due in September 2025 but Erin will most likely have her baby in late August/early September.
Evan and Carlin have chosen not to find out what the baby is until birth considering that they have a boy and a girl already.
Chad and Erin have released the name of their son and it's Henry Blythe.
