On Father’s Day, Chuck Wicks shared a video of the moment his wife Kasi revealed that she is pregnant with a baby boy. The video was recorded by Kasi and shows her giving Chuck a package.
“It’s something I ordered for you,” she says as she hands it to him. “You’re going to like it.”
Chuck then opens the bag to find a positive pregnancy test and starts clapping and jumping up and down, as everyone in the room celebrates.
The couple announced the impending arrival of their baby boy last week. Wicks revealed that the couple had struggled with male infertility and eventually got pregnant after a long process of in vitro fertilization. Kasi had the embryo transferred in March, and eight days later she was pregnant with a boy.
“It’s just such a miracle, such a blessing,” Wicks told the publication. “I’m thankful for amazing doctors, thankful for science.”
Kasi, who is 36, already has three children from a former marriage (one biological and two from her ex-husband that she adopted after their mother passed away) and says she didn’t think she’d have any more — until she met Chuck. “I couldn’t imagine not having a child with him,” she says.
In an Instagram post from the day of the announcement, Wicks explains why he and Kasi wanted to share their story about their struggles.
“We had to take the IVF route to get it done and we wanted to share our story with all of you of our journey because infertility is a real thing and can effect anyone for many different reasons,” he writes. “We are so thankful for the IVF process and our amazing Drs. and nurses. Sending prayers and all the positive vibes to anyone going through a difficult time bringing a baby into the world. We know how it feels to want it so bad.”
