Stansel Journey: Houston Chronicle Interview

Houston Chronicle Interview

Yesterday two very nice ladies from the Houston Chronicle came to our house and interviewed us for an article about this pregnancy. They found out about this pregnancy the week before and were happy to be the first to interview us. They shot a short video clip and took pictures of us. They asked us many questions about how we met, our marriage, our journey to become parents and of course many questions about this pregnancy. The interview was a lot less nerve wracking then I had expected. They made us feel comfortable and at ease. I was a little camera shy as I have never had a story about me put in a newspaper. Thomas and I felt the interview went really well. We look forward to seeing and reading our story in the paper. Our story/interview will also be on their website (www.chron.com). Keep an eye out for it!

Hey! I just found your blog! It will be so great to follow you as you work on bringing your babies into this world. George got his visa Wednesday and we are coming to Houston July 3. Once we are in town, I'll come visit you lots since you'll be on best rest and in the hospital.

About Us

Thomas and I were married in January 2007 in Houston, Texas. About 8 months later, we were excited to start a family. After a diagnosis of infertility due to PCOS and endometriosis, we were devastated. With the help of infertility treatments we were blessed with twin boys (Brian and Brendan), but unfortunately lost them at 18 weeks due to an incompetent cervix. Unwilling to give up on our dream to have a family, we tried again, but our second try resulted in an ectopic pregnancy. On our third try we were surprisingly expecting sextuplets. On August 4, 2009 at 22 weeks 6 days, we welcomed 4 girls and 2 boys - Haley, Braden, Dallin, Ashlyn, Rachel and Kaitlyn. Our sweet angels Braden, Dallin, Ashlyn and Kaitlyn passed away and returned to our loving Heavenly Father. We have been so blessed to have Haley and Rachel at home with us. They have been home from the NICU since February 2010. They are doing well and growing. They are miracles! We love them and have been so blessed!

We have been so blessed to have added another miracle baby to our family. Kayla was born December 9, 2011. She was born at 36 weeks, 5 days. She is a precious miracle and we are so glad she joined our family.

Our last little miracle, Brandon Thomas joined our family on December 14, 2015. He was born at 36 weeks, 5 days. He was 9 pounds, 7 oz (big boy)! He has spina bifida, but he is doing well. He is such a happy boy!! We love our little boy and are so blessed to have him in our family.
