00:04 - Courtney and Lucas found out they were expecting
00:06 shortly after their wedding, but then...
00:10 - Within a month, we found out we were having
00:11 a topic pregnancy, and that just is something
00:14 that you can't prepare for.
00:16 It's such a dark time in your life
00:18 that you feel pretty isolated,
00:19 even if you have an amazing partner like I did.
00:22 I had to have surgery, and my life was,
00:25 depending on the surgery, and in that moment,
00:27 we also found out we weren't gonna have a baby.
00:29 - But after six months of trying again...
00:33 - What?
00:36 - They found out they'd be parents after all.
00:43 - It's such a miracle, and now I truly understand
00:48 that word when you say you have a miracle of a child.
00:52 To have one really is a miracle.
00:54 There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
00:56 It can take as short as six months, like it did for us,
00:59 or it could take years, but there is always a light.
01:02 - And they, of course, had to share the news
01:04 of their rainbow baby with their parents.
01:07 - They all experienced that loss of the first child,
01:10 grandchild, with us, so we knew we really wanted
01:13 to do something and make it special for them as well.
01:15 - Courtney's parents were up first.
01:18 - No way!
01:19 Are you guys serious?
01:23 - Yeah.
01:24 - It's for, like, we waited.
01:26 - Dad told her so.
01:28 - Oh, yay, they're pregnant.
01:30 (laughing)
01:38 - Then it was time to surprise Lucas's side of the family.
01:42 - We had to fly up north to Wisconsin to surprise his mom,
01:45 and that was already gonna be a surprise,
01:47 so we knew that it had to be right off the bat,
01:50 so we brought her cookies, which are her favorite.
01:53 - Guys!
01:54 - Guys, I knew it!
01:56 I knew it!
01:57 - And now, they're looking forward most to...
02:02 - Just watching my belly grow.
02:06 Obviously meeting our baby girl, we're so excited.
02:09 Growing as parents, growing together,
02:11 and doing this as a team, we're just, like,
02:13 really excited to experience this chapter in our life.
