Is she wearing Jill’s shoes? The shoes don’t go with her outfit at all.

Poor little thing looks like a young Granny Clampett from the Beverly Hillbillies.

According to Jill’s narrative, the pictures were of Nuri’s pregnant belly. So, it didn’t matter what they were doing.

Yeah guess Belly is more important than the daughter that is growing the fetus. 🙄🙄🙄

And maybe the new baby (and the ones that follow) will keep her busy. 

Doubtful.  Either Jill and crew will move in with them, or she'll insist they move near her because we all know she'll have to be near the baby at all times!

[Ocean Chick]

JillyRod will insist on taking the baby out with her just so she can post about all the people who assume she’s the mom and who fall over in a dead faint when she tells them shes the Grandma. 🙄

Or she skips all that and pretends it's hers. Nurie who?

Carlin is modeling a maternity dress for Bates Sisters Boutique. Right now Alyssa had a baby in February, Josie and Whitney just had babies, and Tori is due any minute. Carlin is not known to be pregnant, so maybe she's wearing a pillow?

Here's the link to the outfit. It may be just her modeling the dress, but why not get Josie or Whitney to do it?

It says in the link she’s wearing a fake bump. Although I find it hard to believe that between all of the Bateseseses, sisters in laws, friends, and acquaintances, they don’t have anyone the correct amount of pregnant needed.

She is holding her sandals..which look to be to big for her.

And she probably took them off to avoid tripping in them.  Or, they hurt her feet.  Or both.  For goodness' sakes, go to the Dollar Store and buy the young kids some flip flops that fit, Jill!

I would love to take the youngest 3 or 4 kids to a regular shoe store, get them properly fitted for shoes that they get to choose and let them enjoy them.  Remember when you were a kid and your mom took you at the end of the summer to get a new pair of school shoes?  How much fun it was to choose a pair and have the salesperson check the size and walk around the store admiring them in the mirror?  Those poor kids, deprived of even the simplest pleasures.

She certainly looks pregnant to me, unless that’s an old picture.

I see that now. I think I was distracted by that "dress".

Several weeks ago one of their "sweet friends" did take the girls to buy shoes.  I wonder what happened to them?  They were probably exchanged to get the "best mama ever" a few extra pairs for herself.

I know that I’ve mentioned this before, but I seriously think that Sadie has no permanent front teeth.  She’s been without her 2 front teeth for several months!  And she’s carrying around her shoes in most, if not all, of those pictures.  Who wants to bet that her shoes don’t fit her either?!  And that huge 1960’s bun sitting on top of her head!  I just can’t, y’all.  I just can’t… 🤦🏼‍♀️

sadie was wearing the sandals in one pic and her toes seemed to be off the end of them. how horribly uncomfortable that would be especially with the strap between her toes

[iwantcookies]

Sadie is probably wearing MAMA’s old pregnancy dress.

“Why don’t you and Nathan go back to Florida and leave the baby here with me! After all, you don’t know anything about babies and I’m an expert. I’ll send it back to you when I get tired of showing it off...I mean when you’ve had a good long rest!”

Interesting, but my son lost his front teeth a while ago. First ones down grew almost instantly. But the upper one is so slow. It is growing, we can see the tooth, but for weeks, maybe even a month or two, I forgot, he looks like there is nothing here

So maybe that's going on with Sadie

Maybe Jill told her to do it so that she would look more pregnant. 

[ozziemom]

Why this particular five girls? Were the other three deemed not worthy of “fun” with Best Mama Ever? Ugh, everything JillR does is all about her. I’m sure the younger ones are left to dress themselves whilst JillR is slathering makeup on and styling her hairs.

[crazy8s]

Jill likes doing things with the older girlies because she thinks she is one of them, they are best friends, etc. Tessie was elevated to fill Nurie's place and it must be Sadie's special week so she got to go along.

[emmawoodhouse]

Tori had baby Charlotte this morning. Apparently, the cord was wrapped around her neck, so things got hairy.

Edit: Charlotte was born yesterday according to Tori's IG. The article has been edited (it originally said "this morning.")

Maybe Sadie got a chicken leg of her own for lunch.

Those would go better with Kade and Kolter (Kolter? What kind of name is that?). Maybe they just really liked the name Charlotte but couldn’t bring themselves to write “Kharlotte.”

Take note, Jessa. Hospital births can save babies’ lives. 
My youngest is Charlotte, so I’m partial to the name. 😀

That last picture of the adorable Charlotte kind of looks like shes giving them the finger! :)

Jill You got that right !

[iwantcookies]

Jill kept telling Nurie clutch the belly. The other girls had to touch it too. Jill is seriously off the normal scale. Plus when she got to her daughter’s they all started breathlessly giggling and smiling. Creepy!

 

 

[iwantcookies]

Jill should corner gut with ears daily and make him pose clutching his gut… he is fatter than his pregnant daughter. 
 

That would be hilarious!

How long until Tori and Randy Travis are pregnant again? I say eight months. 

Interesting that she appears to have on professionally done makeup for a post-birth photo.

The Bates girls are known to give birth in full makeup. So did Joy Duggar Forsyth with Evy.

They are at a restaurant. We know BEST MOMMA does not sponsor restaurant trips for her children. While they're frolicking around taking pictures, Nathan is paying the bill. Maybe he's trying to parcel out his money carefully to make sure he and Nurie have enough left to get home.

[Onecattoo]

Cannot believe Jill posts video evidence that they drive their kids around without ensuring every one of them is using a seat belt! Ohio law mandates seat belts or car seats for everyone under 16….but apparently they are above the law.

This one is blurry but you can see this clearly small child seated the the window and the seat belt attached to the wall of the van behind her is not engaged at all! OMG!
