Josie Bates (Balka) is best known today as the tenth child in the Bates family tree. The hit TV family show “Bringing Up Bates” is best compared to the massively popular show “Counting On”, which features the Duggar family. 

In fact, the Bates family are steadfast Christians, holding faith as an important aspect of their lives. And they even have the same number of children as the Duggar family, which includes Gil and Kelly Bates and their 19 children. 

The family line has expandeded much since the show premiered in 2012, now that 7 of the “children” have married. Which of course includes Josie. 

The merriment exceeds the Holiday’s for Josie and her family after she revealed that she is pregnant with her second child with husband Kelton Balka. The news has sent a wave of excitement though her follower base, with the comments exploding on Instagram. Many fans expressed their congratulations and excitement over hearing such wonderful news. 

Though it may come as a bit of a surprise to learn that this is their second attempt to become a family of 4.

About 4 months back Jose shared on Instagram that she had experienced a miscarriage. A miscarriage that was really hard on her and her entire family tree.

Our hearts are filled with gratitude, and we couldn’t feel more blessed and more in love with the thought of being parents again! 2020 was a difficult year for everyone, and it was especially difficult for our little family after suffering a heartbreaking miscarriage in August.

She continued by sharing words of encouragement and expressed how her faith has helped her continues though what many have dubbed to be one of the worst years for many. (Specifically 2020)
