#michaella&brandon

[fundiepredictions]

I wonder who Lawson is talking about when he says two babies born in October maybe three maybe Michaela & Brandon are adopting.

Yeah, I think we are all wondering what he was talking about. Michaella and Brandon adopting crossed my mind also. Makes more sense to me then any of the others being pregnant. But I don't think we will hear anything about it until they actually have an adopted baby. So I think we just have to wait and see

[fundiebabynamebible]

OK so I have a new favourite Bates proposal and couple. I'd never seen Michaella and Brandon's courtship before but I watched it on season 2 of BUB these past couple of days and it was so sweet. I loved the way he did the proposal and Michaella i such a sweet soul. For some reason I never really liked him before because I got bad vibes from him but being able to watch him onscreen has changed my opinion.

Happy sixth anniversary to the Keilens.

Ok so she’s clearly not as stylish as her sisters and it’s been really quiet around her lately and obviously she and Brandon have terrible views (I think I’m just gonna stop with that disclaimer, we all know and it seems we all agree on this) - but I think Michael’s so pretty and much more importantly, I’m honestly SO excited for her to get her nursing degree, GET THAT EDUCATION GIRL!

The Bates Birthcharts

Once again, just the Bates and their spouses that are over the age of 18 cause doingt Th younger ones will take so much more time..

If I put “*sign/sign” for ex: *Gemini/Cancer, it means that person migh have that planet in one of the other sign. It depends on what time of the day that they were born. The moon sign changes every 2 ½ days, at 12:00 so often times, the moon could be one or another since I don’t know what time they were born at.

It goes in the following order: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars

Gil: Capricorn, *Sagittarius/Capricorn, Sagittarius, Sagittarius, Virgo

Kelly: Scorpio, *Pisces/Aries, Scorpio, Scorpio, Virgo

Zach: Capricorn, *Virgo/Libra, Capricorn, Sagittarius, Aries

Whitney: Virgo, Sagittarius, Libra, Virgo, Libra

Michaella: Aquarius, *Sagittarius/Capricorn, Capricorn, Capricorn, Sagittarius

Brandon: Virgo, *Pisces/Aries, Libra, Scorpio, Virgo

Erin: Taurus, *Sagittarius/Capricorn, Aries, Gemini, Cancer

Chad: Aries, *Sagittarius/Capricorn, Aries, Pisces, Gemini

Lawson: Leo, *Gemini/Cancer, Leo, Leo, Gemini

Nathan: Virgo, Aquarius, Virgo, Leo, Libra

Alyssa: Scorpio, Aquarius, Libra, Scorpio, Leo

John: Scorpio, Virgo, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Scorpio

Tori: Sagittarius, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Capricorn, Capricorn

Bobby: Aquarius, Virgo, Aquarius, Capricorn, Leo

Trace: Aquarius, *Scorpio/Sagittarius, Capricorn, Capricorn, Libra

Carlin: Aries, Libra, Aries, Pisces, Aries

Evan: Virgo, Leo, Virgo, Virgo, Libra

Josie: Leo, Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio

Kelton: Cancer, *Virgo/Libra, Gemini, Gemini, Virgo

Katie: Libra, Capricorn, Scorpio, Scorpio, Virgo

Do you think Michaella will take clomid since they are against IVF?

For those who aren’t aware, Clomid is a fertility drug that works by stimulating ovulation.  Many people use it to get pregnant, after experiencing infertility.

As for whether Michaela might use it…  Who knows.  Using fertility treatment is not 100% ‘kosher’ with the quiverfull beliefs, and it’s mantra of leaving it “up to God.”  But, then again, it’s clear that their apparent infertility is a big, emotional struggle for Michaela + Brandon.  (As it would be for most couples!)  Whatever happens, I hope that they are at peace with it.  Infertility is so difficult and very, very frustrating, and it must be even more so when childrearing is such a huge part of your identity.  If you’ve been taught, since birth, that a woman’s proper, God–given role is that of a mother, infertility or difficulty getting pregnant must cause so much pain and self–doubt.  I can’t even imagine…  I hate their views, but I sympathize with them for what they’re going through.
