When I heard you both snuggle babies at the hospital, I immediately thought, “Whatever you do for the least of these…you do for me” -Matthew 25:40 You are a beautiful couple. May you impart the love of Jesus to someone new each time you’re there!! The world needs more of Him and more like you both! ❌⭕️
I had the absolute shock of my life last Thursday night when I was at Dollywood taking a picture of my 2 oldest kids and heard the voice of a man apologizing for photobombing our picture. I recognized that voice, looked up, and sure enough it was Gil Bates! I got to meet your parents who were there for your brother’s birthday. Your mom and dad are the SWEETEST people. I got to tell your dad how we had more kids because of watching y’all’s show. It was so so fun! I also got to meet Callie, such a cutie! Seriously I couldn’t even sleep that night cuz I was so excited to have met your family! 🥹
I couldn't have children for 18 years. I waited. God answered . Was given a miracle in one night then got pregnant two months later. I know the pain, emptiness and the desire. You both handle it with such grace. I am in awe of you. I know the sting of watching everyone else have children for us to love. Inside we weep and wonder why. Your love for God and your family and all those babies is stronger than the pain. I wish i could take the longing from you. Your kindness is amazing and you both are truly a light in this world. Thank you for making a difference and making the world a better place!! Blessings and miracles to you from God!!!
I don’t know how they can bear it. I wanted to be a mom from as early as I can remember. We have 7 children on earth and at least 2 in heaven. I still always wanted more of them. They are saints. Honestly.
@KeilenCorner I have a blood clotting disorder and we were told having a baby would likely kill me. My husband said he couldn't handle that. Several years after we found out, my parents adopted 5 siblings 8- 13 while they were in their 60's. We helped my parents with those kids so often, and it's like having very special niece and nephews. My second youngest sister and I are super close and she called me mama, and mom was mom for several years.
What a blessing you both are! My last birth was twins who spent 10 days after their birth in the ICU. I was there as much as I could for them but had 3 boys already. To know hospitals have a cuddling program brings me such peace and happiness. God bless you two! You are such servants and bring such honor to the Lord!
Y’all are the absolute sweetest , Godly couple , and aunt/uncle . I pray your hearts desires be met in the perfect timing of the Lord . Be encouraged and keep sharing precious moments. 🙏🏽🤗❤❤
I probably say this every video, but THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for sharing your lives with us and I love, love, love the arts and crafts videos with the kids. I'm in my early 60's and planned on working for a very long time because I loved my job, but now I am disabled (like Papa Bill, but earlier stages- my diagnosis is Lewy Body, like Robin Williams had). Your videos keep me company, and I look forward to each release. I am so happy that you guys get to volunteer at the Children's Hospital, it's great that you get to cuddle babies and comfort children and families. Bless you both. ❤❤❤
The most gracious, most beautiful, most loving, most humble couple I think I’ve ever heard. I genuinely hold you both in such high esteem and wish you happiness and blessings for today and always 🙏
you two are such a perfect couple for each other! michaela, this probably sounds weird, but, you have such a positive and happy attitude about everything that one can't help but be put in a good mood watching you. i'm sure you have no idea how many people get a boost from your positivity. me included! thank you
You both are so loving and humble. I was thinking that if our younger generations were more like you, there wouldn't be near as many problems and challenges in the world. Your kind generous spirit is so sweet. And to see your faces light up when you talk about snuggling the babies or your time and adventures with the nieces and nephews is priceless. God is using you in so many ways to changes lives is many many ways. Whether bit by bit or in big ways. All are important. Keep strong in the Lord and He will always direct your path. 💕
I think it is amazing what you are doing with the Nicu. There are snugglers at both Brigham and women’s and Boston children’s we live over 7 hours away last month we brought our 15th baby into the world and we needed to travel like you said in a hurry. We are blessed and are temporarily moving closer about 2 hours away. I see what a blessing the snugglers are to families.
Loved hearing about you getting to reconnect with so many of the Duggars. You seem like such a special couple. Brandon is a lucky guy. Michaela, you are a beautiful young lady. Although, I don’t actually know either of you, I have felt lead to pray for you. It t seems a little odd, but you should know you are being lifted up in prayer even when you don’t realize it. I pray God gives you the desires of your hearts! God bless you both.
Y’all are such a breath of fresh air! Down to earth, caring and funny too! Thank you for allow us to share in a little part of your lives. God Bless and wishing you a wonderful week. PS I’m with Brandon…let’s keep summer for a little longer!☀️🏖️
You two would make such good parents . You both are so sweet . Your such a blessing to all your sisters, helping them when they’re in need. You two actually live the Bible, your a great role model for your nephews and nieces. God bless you both.
Michaela you are absolutely beautiful❤❤❤!!! I love you and Brandon so much! I'm 67 and have followed your family since the start! You are very special couple! Lanie from Colorado
Hi,Lanie, I am also 67 and have watched the Bates family from the start. I definitely agree with you that Michaela is very beautiful, and has a beautiful spirit. She and Brandon are adorable.
Greetings from the middle of Nebraska!! And speaking of Nebraska, you must go and visit Jana and her new husband in Nebraska and make a special trip to the #1 zoo in America! The Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha just a short ways from where Jana lives. Your summer activities look so fun especially being able to be around so much family. I'm so impressed with Nathan being a pilot and being able to get family to and from! The black and white video of Michaela as a child is precious! I hope you know that I pray for the both of you everyday. Prayers that God allows you to become parents in whatever way he can. I so enjoy seeing your videos. Thank you for sharing and God Bless!!
I love hearing about how much you love your family, nephews and nieces. Its such a beautiful bond you guys have with them. You guys are an amazing blessing!
I love the love you give. I feel like I live vicariously through you and your family. The babies you cuddle feel your love, Gods love through you. Have the most blessed day from bethanna grace in Tulsa🦋
I absolutely adore the both of you!! Just got finished watching all 10 seasons of Keeping up with the Bates and had many tears and much laughter. Thank you for sharing your lives with us
I’m 45 and still waiting for god to bring that special man into my life. It’s not the same as your struggle but we’ve got to believe god is doing what’s best for us.
Thank you for sharing your life. You are a great compassionate couple. I love your compassion for volunteering and getting your baby fixes helping couples in need holding and comforting their little miracles. It is nice to have so many get-aways for summer. My summer was nothing but work. See you next time.
I Enjoy The Both of you. I will probably never meet you but I fill like I know you and your family!! Thank you for sharing everything with us. Praying for you and your family!!
Like I told Jana I was so excited to see you there at her wedding. As I told her also you and her are the best role models a woman / girl could ever have. You are the person I tell my nieces the strive to be like.
You two are such an amazing, godly couple! The selfless giving, whether it is at the hospital with sick children, visiting your grandparents or spending time with your nieces and nephews is truly an inspiration. May God continue to bless you both! 🙏❤️🙏
What a beautiful couple you are! Watching this happy video was ever so enjoyable. Thank you for all you do for others. Love and blessing from my home to yours. 💕🙏🏻🏡
I just love watching y’all the love you share and the love for God and family blesses my heart y’all are so precious ! Thanks for sharing your lives with us many blessings !!
You both are the epitome of marriage! I love and enjoy watching your videos! Snuggling babies sounds like a wonderful opportunity! I'm an ER nurse and everytime I get a child, sick or not, I'm quick to snuggle and play with them! Thank you for being a blessing in my life! ❤
Love seeing all that you two been doing! Congratulations on your new job Brandon! I am so happy you both are volunteering at the hospital that is so good for you both and for all the littles ye meet. I used to volunteer at the hospital, and it was amazing I was doing what they called Smiles, and you got to go to all the rooms 18 & under and give out a gift to make their day I got to pick them out. I did some newborn photography and then out of the blue one day was ready to go to church and got an urgent call from the hospital and needed me to come and snuggle a newborn baby while mom was in surgery. When I got to the hospital my volunteer badge didn't work because my time had expired, they let me in anyways and since I was also a CNA at the time and had 25 years of working with children Newborn to 12 years of age, they asked me to give her a bath and trim her nails. I felt honored because they didn't just let anybody do that it was a God thing and He entrusted me to do that, I was honored. The baby was comfortable with me and was so chill but so was I so maybe that's why but totally a God thing! Plus, you get to pray for them. It may sound crazy, but I have been following you all since your TV show started and now follow most of you on UA-cam and I was just thinking the other day that all of your Personalities really show & come out so personable including Mom & Dad Bates that I feel I already know all of you it is crazy! I have been manifesting to meet you all one day I would love that so much! Even my youngest out of the blue said mom I would love to meet them and play with the kids and go check out the Tennessee Baptist Church out. We thought about moving to Tennessee but don't want to leave our Grandbabies. But I actual thought about it so much I had a dream that felt so real that I came and fellowshipped with you all and it was amazing! It would be awesome! Oh, Side Note I watch your dads' sermons on You Tube I started the Wednesday Night series. Thanks for sharing your life I love watching & learning from you both. You Both are such an amazing couple and deserve so much & more!
My son is a frequent patient at our local Children’s hospital and the child life and volunteers for cuddling or giving me a breather to get food/ coffee/ pay for parking are such a blessing to both of us and also to his siblings when they have had to come.
I always look forward to your videos. You both have such a sweet, caring demeanor about you. Your love for God and family shines through and it is so wonderful to see that! Bless you both.
It has been a few years since we have been to Dollywood, but at the time, we watched a show that was absolutely amazing! A clear representation of the Lord and the Gospel. At the end people were on their feet, hands raised… and in a time when it feels like some of the liberties that we hold dear are slipping through our fingers, there we were at Dollywood exalting the Lord Jesus! The rides are great, too! Enjoy your UA-cam presence and the “chats”! Be blessed Michaela and Brandon!
Sounds like a great summer for y’all! I live in Tn and as you know it’s still so hot here. I’m trying to get in the mood to put my fall decor out but at temperatures in the 90’ it’s hard. Lol! We love going to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg in the fall because of all the beautiful fall decorations. Hope y’all have a blessed week! Thanks for sharing your summer with us. Jana made a beautiful bride! Beautiful inside and out!
I don't have children of my own, but my sister has allowed me to be super close and involved in her children's lives. Being an Aunt to those 3 and know a great Aunt 5 has been the best thing that has ever happened to me! Love your videos!
I feel the need to say something on your video. There are so many ways to become parents. God’s will, God’s way, God’s time. Blessings to you and your family.
I love your intro… it’s so adorable. Love that you and Jana are still so close. You both are amazing people and that includes Brandon too. Pray for you and your family ♥️🙏♥️
Love, love, love y’all sharing little bits & pieces of your life!❤. The joy & happiness just radiates from you both! May the Lord continue to richly bless your lives as you continue to serve him & others! Truly selfless people with such genuine & kind hearts! Love to you both!❤️
You two are so very sweet and a very beautiful couple 💞 Your love for each other is a precious gift from God 🙏🏻 Your work a Children's Hospital blesses the children and their families. God bless you for blessing others. My prayer for you is that God blesses you with a baby of your own. It will be a precious little gift from God. 💙💖🙏🏻 You two are my favorite couple to watch ❣️🫶🏻😍
I was born in Newport, Arkansas, but have lived in TN since I was approximately 13 years old. My mom and dad divorced when I was 9, so I traveled back and forth staying some with my mom in Arkansas and some with my dad in TN. As an adult my husband and I along with our children traveled to Arkansas many times. My mom remarried and moved to Conway. The drive from Memphis to their home was so boring and seemed like the drive took forever. It's really just flat farm land. I know Arkansas is beautiful around the Ozarks. I think the Duggars are maybe closer to the Oklahoma side of Arkansas and I don't think I've ever been to that part of Arkansas. If I have been it's when I was very young and don't remember. Glad you guys enjoyed your trip. Jana's wedding was beautiful and she looked gorgeous.
Your channel is so wonderful in how you share deep life meaningful moments with joy & love that comes from the Lord in your lives❣️I especially love all the pictures & home movies you interject 🥰 You are in my prayers 🙏❤️ Thank you for sharing ☺️
I absolutely loved all the updates of your various projects and activities. Well done Brandon on getting a new job . Well done with your volunteering work it was all really wonderful to hear about everything. Thanks for sharing.
Oh I love to hear about your lives. So much fun times. God bless you for the wonderful work you do at the hospital. What a tremendous blessing yo the families. Eternal rewards. Happy Birthday Brandom. 🎉
I loved hearing your wonderful summer adventures and family time you had had with all the nieces and nephews. Brandon congratulations and good luck with your new job. I would love to see a sneak peak of the Christmas ornaments. I understand holding on to summer! I always enjoy your videos.
The way you embrace all these children in your life Michela is truly incredible and so selfless . I pray that you to will be very blessed for all your goodness and sacrifice ❤
All those hospital babies, and all your nieces and nephews are so lucky to have you loving up on them! Sounds like you've made many special memories this summer!😊
What a blessed summer for you both. It is so sweet that you were so excited for Jana and seeing you together again was so nice. You touch so many little ones lives. Holding those small babies while the parents are unable to, you make their world a better place. Michaela you were adorable with Papa Bill. You both are a blessing to your family.
You are both such a blessing. I know and understand the infertility journey is a hard one, full of ups and downs filled with hope and disappointment. If and when you are ready I would encourage you to consider adoption. As the Mum of three beautiful children and part of a forever family made of love through adoption I cannot describe how special this road is. Although I was not meant to carry my children before their birth they very much belong in my arms as they grow. You will make wonderful parents and I have faith your children will come 💜
Baby cuddling is a blessing!!! 2 of our babies have been in childrens here in our state and knowing that someone was there to cuddle them when i was home caring for our other littles. Thank you for sharing your time with families in need
It’s so good to see you two again. Hope you don’t stay away as long as you have. Michael, you and Brandon are such inspiration to me. I love you both so much, as well as your whole family!✝️🌹❤️
I love keeping up with you! I dealt with infertility and I know the heart break! I pray daily for your miracle! The doctor said I would never get pregnant, but after 16 years of heartbreak, God gave me a miracle!
Congratulations. My daughter dealt with the heartache of the Doctors telling her that she “ It will be a Miracle if she ever gets pregnant. Then the day after I turned 40 I got a phone call at work and my husband was crying I remember him telling me that my daughter was pregnant. And the JOY was unbelievable.😊
When I heard you both snuggle babies at the hospital, I immediately thought, “Whatever you do for the least of these…you do for me” -Matthew 25:40 You are a beautiful couple. May you impart the love of Jesus to someone new each time you’re there!! The world needs more of Him and more like you both! ❌⭕️
🥰
I love Brandon and Michaela. Thank you for that,😊 they are in my prayers always.
Have you ever thought of adopting
I’m 74 and so enjoy watching you two. What I like best is that your love for each other and your love for our Savior shines through❤

I don't have children of my own, but my sister has allowed me to be super close and involved in her children's lives. Being an Aunt to those 3 and know a great Aunt 5 has been the best thing that has ever happened to me! Love your videos!
I feel the need to say something on your video. There are so many ways to become parents. God’s will, God’s way, God’s time.
Blessings to you and your family.

You two are an awesome, godly couple. I love hearing about your life! My prayers are with Papa Bill as he walks this difficult journey.
You two are so very sweet and a very beautiful couple 💞 Your love for each other is a precious gift from God 🙏🏻 Your work a Children's Hospital blesses the children and their families. God bless you for blessing others. My prayer for you is that God blesses you with a baby of your own. It will be a precious little gift from God. 💙💖🙏🏻
You two are my favorite couple to watch ❣️🫶🏻😍
I was born in Newport, Arkansas, but have lived in TN since I was approximately 13 years old. My mom and dad divorced when I was 9, so I traveled back and forth staying some with my mom in Arkansas and some with my dad in TN. As an adult my husband and I along with our children traveled to Arkansas many times. My mom remarried and moved to Conway. The drive from Memphis to their home was so boring and seemed like the drive took forever. It's really just flat farm land. I know Arkansas is beautiful around the Ozarks. I think the Duggars are maybe closer to the Oklahoma side of Arkansas and I don't think I've ever been to that part of Arkansas. If I have been it's when I was very young and don't remember. Glad you guys enjoyed your trip. Jana's wedding was beautiful and she looked gorgeous.
What a precious couple y’all are. What JOY you bring to so many! Many blessings💛🙏🏼

Thank you for being you!! ❤
You both are such a breath of fresh air. Thank you for continually bringing positivity and the love of God to a forum such as UA-cam.
Happy Birthday, Brandon. Happy Belated 9th Anniversary. Congratulations, Brandon on your new job.
Well done good and faithful servants
You are both such a blessing. I know and understand the infertility journey is a hard one, full of ups and downs filled with hope and disappointment. If and when you are ready I would encourage you to consider adoption. As the Mum of three beautiful children and part of a forever family made of love through adoption I cannot describe how special this road is. Although I was not meant to carry my children before their birth they very much belong in my arms as they grow. You will make wonderful parents and I have faith your children will come 💜
Baby cuddling is a blessing!!! 2 of our babies have been in childrens here in our state and knowing that someone was there to cuddle them when i was home caring for our other littles. Thank you for sharing your time with families in need
We love cuddling so much! I’m so grateful our hospital gives us the opportunity!
It’s so good to see you two again. Hope you don’t stay away as long as you have. Michael, you and Brandon are such inspiration to me. I love you both so much, as well as your whole family!✝️🌹❤️
You two are truly a beautiful loving couple.
Love your updates. Such a sweet couple.
What a Blessed couple. The Lord's beauty shines through you. God Bless.
I love keeping up with you! I dealt with infertility and I know the heart break! I pray daily for your miracle! The doctor said I would never get pregnant, but after 16 years of heartbreak, God gave me a miracle!
Congratulations. My daughter dealt with the heartache of the Doctors telling her that she “ It will be a Miracle if she ever gets pregnant. Then the day after I turned 40 I got a phone call at work and my husband was crying I remember him telling me that my daughter was pregnant. And the JOY was unbelievable.😊
Truly appreciate you taking the time to share these parts of your life with us.
Every kid deserves an aunt and uncle like you😊
You two are so adorable and sweet!! I wish you all the LOVE and HAPPINESS in the world!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I so enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing! Your introduction is absolutely the sweetest!
The children’s hospital ministry sounds amazing! I bet it’s a blessing to you as well as the parents.
