Bundle of Joy


During a time where the world seems to be steadily crumbling, it’s nice to come across a heart wrenching struggle that turned itself into a positive and beautiful outcome. Giuliana and Bill Rancic, popular reality stars of a show that centers around the couple, titled Giuliana and Bill, were thrilled to find out that after a bumpy journey and many dismal moments, they are finally going to deliver the baby they’ve been dreaming of having.

At 36 years old, Giuliana Rancic was reduced to tears when her doctors told her that her pregnancy through a gestational surrogate had finally been confirmed as ‘100 percent positive.’ This means that although Giuliana will not be carrying the baby herself, it will still be their genetic child.  The identity of the surrogate they have selected has yet to be revealed, but they are incredibly thrilled to have her bring this child into the world for them. This method of birth really is amazing.  While it may seem unconventional, it allows the dreams to come true for couples who have never been able to produce children of their own and/or for parents who have tragically lost children during miscarriages.

The couple had undergone a series of failed IVF (meaning ‘In Vitro Fertilization’) tests and even a miscarriage during 2011. It was at this time that Giuliana had discovered that she had breast cancer during one of her routine check ups regarding her fertility complications. While the cancer proved to be a daunting challenge for the young woman to face, the reasons that she is alive today may very well be due to the pregnancy issues she was struggling with. Had the complications not existed in the first place and had she become pregnant, the cancer would have become a much greater hazard to Rancic and may have ultimately taken her life.

Not everyone has the opportunity to successfully conceive a child on their own. The story of Giuliana and Bill Rancic is one that shows how a couple who were denied their dream of having a child and had undergone emotionally devastating complications, were granted the opportunity to give life to their dreams once again. The couple will now have a child to call their very own, even if it is by allowing the baby to be carried inside the stomach of another mother-figure. This reflects that, while some decisions we choose to make may go against the forces of nature, we will ultimately find a way to deliver the things that truly bring us to happiness. The Rancic couple is a perfect example of how people that have undergone great emotional stress, especially during these rough times, managed to come out stronger and ultimately achieve their long-awaited desires.
