Jeff andCambriaHauck were left with few options for having more children following her hysterectomy.
But then, an unlikely person stepped into being their surrogate: Jeffs own mother, 56-year-old Nancy Hauck.
Nancy recently gave birth to his and Cambrias fifth child, a healthy daughter.
The couple named the baby Hannah, which they discovered is associated with the name Nancy.
They both mean grace,Jeff explains, and it now highlights the special bond the two share.
The birth was a beautiful moment for Jeff and Cambria.
How many people get to watch their mom give birth?
Nancy was in labor for about nine hours.
Everything went perfectly and we are feeling so blessed to have her in our family, the grandmother said.
It is a mix of deep gratitude and some sadness from the separation.
Jeff and Cambria discovered that they had fertility issues after they got married.
After her procedure, the couple talked about their options for the remaining embryos they still had left.
It was at that point that Nancy first offered to be her son and daughter-in-laws surrogate.
Although they thought it was sweet, they didnt think it was possible.
Now, Nancy and her husband Jason are grandparents in a new way.
I hope that we won’t treat Hannah any differently, Jason said.
But we’ll always have that connectionthat Nancy carried her for nine months.
Just the magic of the whole experience will always be unique in our eyes.
