Bringing Up Bates fans spot an inconsistency

In a comment, a fan pointed out that a photo in Kelly Jo’s post said the baby was born on October 16. However, when Esther and Nathan announced their daughter’s birth, they said her birthday was October 17. The fan congratulated the family on their new addition but questioned the inconsistent date mentioned.

Despite being publicly called out, Kelly Jo laughed off her mistake. In response to the fan’s comment, the Bringing Up Bates matriarch explained, “Lol! I wrote that! I must have had Isaiah’s birthday on my mind and messed up!!”

Kelly Jo’s son, Isaiah, turned 18 the day before Kenna was born.

The Bringing Up Bates fan totally understood the mix-up and didn’t think anything of it. They know that Kelly Jo has a lot going on and many birthdays to remember with 19 kids, plus all of the in-laws and grandchildren, too.

Kelly Jo then edited her Instagram caption, adding:

“Ok, ignore the sign that says Oct 16th! Granny brain freeze lol! I was writing the sign and all day we had been talking about Isaiah’s 18th birthday on October 16th… so guess what ended up on Kenna’s sign?! I didn’t even realize it until someone just pointed it out… so October is going to be a very busy month for me to try to keep straight, but Kenna was actually born on the 17th like the post says.”
