Thank you for your patience with this one. The last two weeks of March were crazier than expected for just about everyone, and we needed a bit of time on this one. Just a reminder that this transparency post goes through March 18, 2020 and any asks received after that date that we decide to TP will go in the Summer Break Transparency Post. Thanks for all your understanding!

Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta 1101: Are They About to Fight?
Note: This recap will focus on Jessica Seewald's dress hopping experience with her SIL Jessa Duggar Seewald. The other bride and her entourage have been omitted- which is where the title of the episode comes from.
Jessica Seewald arrives at Bridals by Lori. She is 21 and from Little Rock, Arkansas. She has brought her future MIL and SIL, her MOH and her best friend [for purposes of this recap, we'll call her BFF], as well as her current SIL, Jessa Duggar Seewald. Robin is her consultant, and asks what she is looking for. Jessica says she wants her dress to be sexier, form fitted with a gradual poof on the bottom. Her future MIL says she will have to voice her opinion is there is too much cleavage showing. Jessica's mom could not get off work, so her future MIL is her mother figure for the day. Jessica says her wedding is in 3 months, which will limit her options. They just got engaged a month ago and want a quick wedding. They're both police officers, and before that she was a 911 dispatcher so she bossed him around on the radio everyday. They started talking, and it just went from there. Jessica is excited to get to "girl out" since she spend a lot of her time in uniform. Jessica says she wants the wedding to be rustic, and it will be at a little church she grew up in. Jessica says her fiancé's family is more on the modest side, and her future MIL, SIL and Jessa are worried about the modesty. Jessica is not bothered. The entourage pulls some dresses by themselves while Robin picks options with Jessica.
Jessa says when she went dress shopping, she thought she knew what she wanted but she tried on a bunch of dresses and you can end up leaving with something completely different. Jessica decides to start with one of the entourage's picks to rule it out. It's pretty revealing, and Jessica likes the dress more than she expected. Jessica is excited to show the group. BFF is surprised that her pick is so low; Jessa agrees that this is too much. BFF says they want it to be pretty and tasteful. The future MIL says she thinks it is a little low, and she isn't going back to Arkansas with that dress.
Jessica wants to please everyone, but she isn't as conservative as everyone with her. She feels like it looks good on her. The consultants decide to put Jessica in the fitted lace dress she originally imagined. Jessica likes it, but the first dress has changed something in her mind. She comes out, and future MIL is not happy. This dress is more revealing, the fitted cut is too much, but the lace is nice. Jessica is not wowed like the first dress did, but she keeps thinking about it.
Jessa says she liked the A-line on Jessica, and she thinks Jessica liked it too. Lori says you shouldn't have to talk yourself into your wedding gown, and Jessica is trying to talk herself into that gown because she always pictured it. Jessica decides to try on more A-line, and they pick one that is not see-through. And the dress is pretty revealing on Jessica again- and she says she likes how the first one is low, but not as in your face as this one. Jessica decides to go out and show them this one, since once they see it they'll be fine with the first dress. As she walks out, Jessa says, "oh, that's the dress of the rack!" and her MIL says "speaking of rack..." Her Future MIL, in a talking head, says she is going to need a prayer and a whiskey for this one. Jessa asks if this is even a wedding dress, and in a talking head says that's not how you should look on your wedding day. Jessica isn't totally sold on this one anyway. They decide to keep trying.
Jessica is back in the fitting room and wants the first dress again. Her plan seems to have worked, as future MIL says she will be happy with anything after that last dress. Putting Dress #1 back on, Jessica says she feels perfect and she wants to show her mom. They send a picture to her mom, and Jessica calls her. Guinn says it is elegant and stunning. Guinn says she wishes she could be there but is happy to be included. Jessica, crying tears now, heads back out and hopes everyone will be supportive. Jessica shows the entourage and says she thinks this is the one. She is emotional, and says it feels right. She asks what they think, and Jessa says to look no further. Jessa says it is a bout the bride loving her dress, and she was glowing so she decided to support her and cheer her on. The future MIL saw her getting emotional, and knew not to discourage her from having her dream dress.
They jack her up, and she turns and cries seeing herself in the veil with accessories. She sees herself walking down the aisle, and she says yes to the dress. She is shocked that she had this plan and ended up with something completely different. The dress is perfect.
Three months later, in Arkansas, Jessica is getting ready to walk down the aisle. Jessica says it is more modern than people are used to but she loves it. Guinn says Jessica has always been strong and when she got the picture she knew it was the one. Jessa says she is two and a half weeks away from her due date but honored to be a bridesmaid. Finally, Mr. Seewald walks Jessica down the aisle, and her fiancé cries. The Pastor pronounces them husband and wife, and her new husband kisses his bride. The happy couple seems genuinely quite thrilled and full of emotion when they talk about being married to the camera. Her husband loves the dress, and says it was perfect. They dance at the wedding, throw the bouquet, and toss the garter, they cut the cake. her husband says: "I'm glad you said yes - to that dress." Jessica says, "I'm glad I said yes to you!"

Bringing Up Bates: Season Four
To make it easy to search this post, I have added a * before each episode title. On your PC, hit CONTROL and F to search. On your Mac, hit COMMAND and F. Then you can type in a * and see where each episode begins.
BuB Season 9 Special: "I Love You Day"
If you are familiar with BuB specials, you know this, but the episode is clips from past episodes organized into categories with titles. Each category title will be in bold.
The special opens with Kelly explains the origin of I Love You Day: Christmas was crazy, and to have a family focused holiday, Alyssa suggested using Valentine's Day as “I Love You” day.
“I Love You Day” Eve: the couples have dinner to celebrate with the couples. This was also Alyssa’s idea, but Kelly thinks it is a great one. From the newly courting, to newlyweds to grandparents, it is nice to get all the couples together. Papa Bill and Mama Jane being there is special, since they’ve been together so long and are good examples for everyone. They recount how they met: Mama Jane was in the water, and Papa Bill hit her with a float when he was riding the wave. Zach says Whitney was the prettiest girl he ever saw and kept going to her restaurant. Zach says he told Alyssa he was gonna marry her the first day. John says Alyssa turn around and he was so shocked he just stood there quietly. Everyone laughs and shares with the table and it is a special time together.
I <3 Surprises: The Bates family looks out their window, trying to see who has arrived. It is a barbershop quartet for Whitney, and they give her a card, a rose, and they sing two songs for her. The entire family is so touched by the gesture. Whitney says it was the sweetest thing she’d ever seen.
Erin gives her mother a gift, and she opens it to find a quilt. There is a quilt with their grandkids on it, plus a new name: Brooklyn. Kelly exclaims, “Is it yours?” and Erin nods while everyone cheers. Josie is jealous Erin used Brooklyn.
At the farm themed I Love You Day, Mama Jane is celebrating her birthday and they present her with a rocking chair made by Chad with all her grandkids' names ons it. They also give her a scrapbook, and she is touched by the gesture.
Gettin’ All Dressed Up: At the Chivalry I Love You Day, Josie gives Nathan a hard time for not wearing a costume. “The King can wear whatever he wants.” “I Don’t think so.” The Paines arrive all decked out, and everyone is impressed. Erin says everyone went a different direction with the theme. The Keilens arrive as well, and everyone loves the dress Michael sewed herself.
At Growing Old Together, Mama Jana and Papa Bill arrive in 50s clothes, while the younger people dress like old people. Evan and Carlin and Erin and Chad went above and beyond. Evan wins for the guys, and Carlin for the ladies.
Bates’ Dates: Bobby arrives for his first I Love You Day, and brings Roses for Tori. The whole family rushes out to meet him when he arrives. Tori is worried it will be overwhelming for him.
Lawson shows up at the couple's dinner, and everyone thinks it is surprise girlfriend. Turns out, it is Nathan in a wig, a pillow down his shirt to be breasts, and a nightgown. Kelly: It wasn’t no couple.
Trace ACTUALLY shows up with a “female girl” to surprise the family, not at the couples dinner, but he brought his friend Chaney to the party. They met on the ski trip, and kept in touch. Trace thought this would be a good way for her to meet everyone.
The guys sing their Yankee Doodle song from Season Four:
Trace-y Bates-y went to town
Looking for a lady
He got sent home all alone
Because he drove her crazy
Kenny thought he’d try his hand
Up in the big city
That’s where he met Ashley
He tried to turn her country
[Lawson solo]: Me, I’m still here all alone
I ain’t got nobody
But that’s alright, that’s ok
As long as there’s a party
[Bobby solo]: I used to play those chasing game
Then I started thinking
Tori Bates is all I want
And that’s not changing
[All together]: that’s alright, that’s ok
As long as there’s a party
It’s All Fun and Games: The games are always fun at this party. Tori and Alyssa compete to stack cups, and Tori crushes Alyssa. John and Zach compete at a game where you blow up a balloon and use the air to knock the cups up the table.
The piñata which no one can bust is next. All the brothers and brothers in law try in vain to bust the piñata, and so Gil finally goes. He busts it on the first try.
At the Farm themed party, the Bates have a pig calling contest, and the competitions are all over the place. They race stick horses to finish it off.
All Wrapped Up: Everyone loves giving their presents. The Bates do a draw and give gifts to their secret pal. It is fun to let everyone connect to their sibling each year.
At the Farm themed party, Michael got everyone a keychain with a letter from Kelly’s dad before he passed away. That was such a special gift and everyone is touched.
Erin sums it up: It’s all about loving each other, and this day is a special time for the whole family, and she hopes they do it forever.
The special concludes with a sneak peak of the new season: Carlin and Evan’s honeymoon, Josie delivery of Willow, a 40+ person family vacation, Michael set Katie talking to a boy who sent her a pizza, Whitney talks about how crazy the dress boutique is, Gil isn’t the best a grilling, Three babies on the way- Carlin, Erin and Whitney- and a new relationship in the works with Chaney and Trace.

John and Abbie's Baby Part 1 and 2
Part 1
John and Abbie are expecting their first baby, and Abbie wants to labor at home some and then go to the low-intervention room at the hospital. Both of their moms will be there and they are looking for a safe and healthy baby. John records a video for the baby to watch when she is older as a surprise for Abbie. He talks about his siblings, and he wants to interview some of his family for the video as well. John tells the baby how he met her mother, and that it was almost love at first sight. Kendra says the family knew they were a perfect match. Michelle says it was obvious they were in love. John says their relationship before marriage was a few days shy of 6 months, and Jim Bob recalls them flying away from their wedding. John and Abbie recall their adventures- Finland honeymoon and then finding out they were expecting. Jana says John and Abbie will be perfect parents but the baby might be a little spoiled. John says he will add some old photos and edit it all together to show Abbie after the baby is born.
A few days out from the due date, John and Abbie are looking forward to meeting their little girl. John says he is looking forward to helping take care of her and going on the adventure. Abbie says she has a lot of excitement, a lot of anxiousness and change, a big mixture.
It is January 6, 2020, and we are at John & Abbie's. A title card informs us that we are 10 hours into labor. It is 2:40am and contractions are five minutes apart and last a minute, so it is time to go to the hospital. Michelle calls the hospital to let them know she is coming in. They wait for one more contraction, and then head out to the car. Michelle follows them as they head to the hospital.
Once at the hospital, it is determined that Abbie's labor has stalled and she is sent home. She goes to her doctor the next morning. Her doctor examines her, and she is 2+ centimeters and 100% effaced so hopefully baby will arrive today. They go home to labor at home a little longer and then will head to the hospital.
Part 2
January 6, 2020 and 18 hours in labor. Abbie is laboring at home again, and the labor keeps picking up and stalling. Abbie is going great and breathing through the contractions. Abbie's parents and Michelle are there helping. Michelle coaches her through some breathing techniques.
Abbie sees her doctor again, and she is 3 centimeters. They decide to go to the hospital. They are in the low intervention room, and John is rubbing Abbie's back as she labors. At 7pm, Jana calls to check in. Abbie is at 5 centimeters, and Jana offers to run to the store. John and Abbie have requested cheese and crackers, so Jana and the little girls head out to go shopping. Jana puts together a little snack basket and they go to the hospital. The little girls drop off the supplies, but can't go in the room as Abbie is in the tub. Jana says hopefully the baby will be here soon.
It is 9pm. A title screen says: after 30 hours in labor, Abbie is only 5cm dilated. Doctors decide to use pitocin to induce labor and Abbie gets an epidural. At 2:30am, it is time to push. There are only labor photos, which makes it seem like the delivery itself was not filmed. A title screen says: After laboring for almost 36 hours, John & Abbie meet their baby girl. There are a few photos and clips of these moments.
Back at John & Abbie's, they are preparing for the family to come meet Grace. Grace is 2 days old, doing well with a good appetite. John and Abbie are worried about fitting so many people in their little house. The family files in to see her, and they are all delighted to see her. The Duggar family squeezes into a photo. Lauren says she is glad Abbie got an epidural, and Kendra says it helps you relax. Lauren says she wishes hers had worked, and Abbie said hers worked, and her legs felt weird but it was the best thing. Jessa said Jinger and Abbie's labors were similar with the stalling and the epidural helped them relax. John says it's great that you progress without as much pain. Jessa says she'll have to get an epidural next time. John says it was great to have the family here and now it will be fun to hang out as a new family and soak in the first few weeks with their little girl. John says he has a video to show Abbie and Gracie, and the special concludes with a picture of John, Abbie and Grace with her birth stats and details.

Massive End of 2019 TP
The last transparency post was during the summer, so these asks range generally from Late August 2019 to December 2019 (although a few may have been hanging around in drafts longer than that!). I tried to divide them into categories which made sense! Unless otherwise indicated, these asks were answered by T!
To make it easy to search this post, I have added a * before each category title. On your PC, hit CONTROL and F to search. On your Mac, hit COMMAND and F. Then you can type in a * and see where each section begins.
