The Weessies Family is Upgrading to SGWx3

I would like to share with you all our journey to starting a family. It's kind of long so bear with me. We never really talked about how we were struggling with conceiving a child. It was something personal and honestly hard to talk about. Especially when I was constantly asked “How come you don't have kids yet? Don't you guys want to have kids?”.

Truth is we started trying to have a baby in the Fall of 2016. It seemed like for us, it was just not as easy as everyone said it was. As fall of 2017 approached we didn't have any good news to share.. I had some late periods which gave us a glimmer of hope, but ultimately nothing happened.

I call 2018 the year of grief. I lost both my grandpa's in a five week span and Stephen lost his grandfather in November. We experienced so much loss and dealt with depression. Losing three loved ones within the year, a job change, and then ultimately the decision to move. It was sad. I felt like my body was too stressed and depressed to continue trying so we took a break.

As the beginning of 2019 came we started it off with change. I quit my job, packed up our house and we moved up to Gilroy. We put our house on the market and it sold very quickly. All of a sudden everything started to feel "calm and peaceful". With the house selling Stephen paid off my student loans; which took a great burden off of my shoulders. We got Stephen's new car; a Tesla model 3. Stephen was blessed and found another amazing job at Driscolls and I've been acclimating to being a stay at home wifey.

This is when our miracle happened. I noticed my period was late in March and decided to take a pregnancy test. For the first time in two and a half years I had a second line! It was faint but it was there. I freaked out and took three more tests. All said positive! I was four weeks pregnant! That night I told Stephen and we both cried tears of joy. The next week we told my parents, his parents, sister in law and brother in law. It was just something we couldn't keep from them; especially since most of us live under the same roof.

I had a bleeding scare during week six of my pregnancy and had to go in early and have an ultrasound done. However with that ultrasound, we saw a healthy baby with a healthy heartbeat.

We are expecting baby SGW in December of 2019. We are both overjoyed and beyond blessed that this is finally happening to us. I just feel so loved and blessed. Words can't express how happy we are.

We love you all and thank you for listening to our story.

Mark 11:24 (NIV) “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”
