After three miscarriages.. this couple threw the best baby reveal

Sheer happiness.

This warms out heart.

Parents Kelsie and Patrick Bennett have suffered three miscarriages over the past four years. After having their first child Bennett, they tried again but unfortunately, Kelsie was diagnosed with a blood clotting disorder which meant she would not be able to sustain any more pregnancies without medical intervention.

The news was heartbreaking for them to take but fast forward four months later and after being prescribed medication for her illness, Kelise and Patrick are pregnant with not one but two children. A double rainbow.

After the trauma of the miscarriages, the couple decided to wait until the gender reveal party to tell friends and family their big news. Kelsie shared on her Facebook page that “It’s too difficult emotionally to tell family we’re pregnant.. just to have to go back and take that joy away from them, all while dealing with our own loss and grief,” Kelsie wrote. “So during the gender reveal, we had a hidden box ready to be thrown in last minute to completely throw everyone off. Needless to say it worked!”

The video of the celebration will bring tears to your eyes as Kelsie and Patrick explain the difficult road they endured to get here. “We were told Bennett was a true miracle because there wasn’t any reason as to why my body didn’t clot during his pregnancy.”

“Few months after the diagnosis passed and with many days of prayer, being on a prescribed blood thinner, and more prayer, we found out we were pregnant! Here comes the even bigger surprise.. During the first ultrasound at 7 weeks, the specialist asked ‘If we were ready?!’ We asked, ‘Ready for?’ And she just smiled, held up 2 fingers and said..’There’s 2′!”

We won’t spoil any more of it for you. You can check the video out below yourself.
