Christian Brent Huffman are counting down the days until their baby arrives.
>>Our nurseries pretty well set up. We just have you know some things to hang on the
wall. >> Christie is 35 weeks pregnant She's due December 12th, a date Christie and
Brent weren't sure would ever happen. >> She's wanted to be a mom her entire life
I think and you know, and us not being able to conceive for a long time
has been a challenge. >>The college sweethearts tied the knot September 2013.
After a year of trying to conceive, Christie and Brent asked for help. >>She
had gone and seen some of our infertility specialists and had a pretty
extensive evaluation. >>It turned out that one of my blood works that was I
have like a low egg reserve left so I don't know if I just didn't have that
many from the beginning or I just didn't have many left so the odds of getting
pregnant were very very slim especially after trying for so long. >>Trust in him at
all times Oh people. >>Both talked about adoption, there's three or four couples
in our church alone that have adopted kids and are fostering kids and so forth.
>>Christie and Brent chose to pray about the situation. They became active in
their church and went on mission trips. As the years passed, the dream of
becoming pregnant began to fade, until one day. >>I was having some health
concerns and was supposed to get an MRI and I, they had called me to do the MRI
like, screening ahead of time like, do have any scrap metal in your body, do you
have this this checklist that they have to ask you for health concerns, and one
of them is there any chance you could be pregnant? And I had to think about it and
I was like, wait a minute, and I was like, oh no, I'm not. It's coming.
>> Kelly didn't think it was necessary but she took the test. >>I took the test and it
came up positive and I screamed! I just remember just being shocked. >>She wakes me
up screaming and I run in there and I'm a contact where so, I'm legally blind
without my contact so I couldn't see a thing.
>>He's like, what's going on and I was like, we're pregnant. I think I that's what I
said I don't really remember but we're pregnant. >> I take the little stick and I
hold it up to my eyes and I'm squinting at it and I don't think I cried but I
got pretty emotional so >> I still didn't believe it and proceeded to take two
more I think that day then called the doctor's office. >>The first thing was to
make sure that she was definitely pregnant. She I think was kind of
doubting her home test so we did do an an in-office test and we also got a
blood test just to make a hundred percent sure., And those were both positive.
>>The next step was an ultrasound. >>Getting an ultrasound early in pregnancy
really tells us when their due dates going to be and that can be very
important as it gets closer to delivery when we're making decisions about when
someone should deliver and how long it's okay to let them know stay pregnant.
And so here we have the inside of the uterus and you see right there we have the baby.
>>All you could see was like basically a little like jellybean in there but you
can still see like a flicker of a heartbeat which was just, seeing that was
just incredible and I remember looking over at my husband and like his eyes are
just welled with tears Brent still gets emotional when talking about the first
ultrasound, >>Ha, that was pretty cool.
It becomes real for you. You're like, "holy cow," there's a baby in there you know.
>>I mean I imagined all these things and how amazing and how beautiful it would be
but you just can't fathom it so you're going through it. >>Most women will
also get an ultrasound around 20 to 22 weeks and that ultrasound looks at all
the different parts of the baby. And you can see here that even though this baby
is still very small, you can see its heads really well-formed up here, she's
moving her arm up while we're watching and then down here is her ribcage and
her legs are kind of folded up over here. >> I can't believe how fast 30 weeks has gone.
We found out at I guess, at five weeks. I can't believe how fast the last
30 weeks have gone. It's like, they just kept counting them down and count them
down to counting up down and now I think we're down to 31 days. Now it's like day
count. >>She's just in there doing somersaults and flipping so like she's
such a reassurance that she's healthy and everything else is gonna be fine.
>>She could arrive at any moment. We'll be we'll be ready and be grateful. >>At least
the nurseries done so she comes she's got a place a little a little safe haven
to go to and all of her clothes are washed up and it's her little space.
