Patrick and Kelsie’s quest to add children to their family did not come without heartbreak and complications.
The couple lived through a miscarriage five years ago and were blessed with their son Bennett nearly four years ago.
Kelsie told littlethings that she had had another miscarriage a year after Bennett’s birth. She suffered a third miscarriage six months later. It seemed at the time, the third miscarriage might be too much for the couple to endure.
The couple conceived once again about a year after the third miscarriage. The pregnancy was met with a lot of prayers and additional medical testing.
The couple was stricken with the fear of not knowing how far this fifth journey with the pregnancy would take them. Patrick and Kelsie received some unexpected news following an ultrasound at the seven-week stage of the pregnancy.
They decided not to mention the pregnancy to friends and family members until the pregnancy reached its twelfth week. Kelsie explained she and Patrick experienced a miscarriage around the 12-week mark of a previous pregnancy .
She said its very difficult to watch family members go through the disappointment of learning of the miscarriage while suffering through their own pain and grief.
The couple also decided to not reveal the gender of the new family addition to the family until a gender reveal party. At that time, the couple would release either pink or blue balloons.
In the video, Patrick is seen telling everyone in attendance to wait a second. He runs out of view of the camera just moments before he and Kelsie were set to open the box of balloons.
Patrick returns with a second box of balloons. The gathering of friends and family is unsure of what exactly is happening but they are sure there is something unexpected and exciting taking place before them.
You will be hard pressed to not enjoy yourself while watching the double rainbow surprise revealed by Patrick and Kelsie.
All in attendance, their young son Bennett included, were both thrilled and stunned to learn the couple would be adding both a boy and a girl to the family.
