Another Bates baby will arrive soon! Alyssa has almost made it to the 36-week mark and is due on February 17th. Did you know about the Bates family back when Alyssa and John were expecting their first, Allie Jane? That was six years ago. Allie was the second Bates grandchild, and Maci Jo will be the 15th.
