This Thursday, tune in to UP at 9pm ET/8pm CT for an hour-long special of Bringing Up Bates. You won't want to miss this one!
Watch as Zach and Whitney Bates do a maternity photo shoot and make final preparations before the arrival of Kaci Lynn Bates. Just days before the delivery, the expectant parents find out that their daughter is breech, which makes for a very emotional and stressful birth.
Meanwhile, Gil Bates and a few of his sons take Lawson's friend AJ on a memorable fishing trip.
