A mother's love runs deep.
They will do anything for their child, like stay up all night with them when they're sick, make all the phone calls they're scared to make, and send them care packages while they're away.
They will also give birth to their granddaughter. Wait, what?
It sounds strange, but this story of a woman doing that is incredibly touching.
Even fewer can say that their mother gave birth to their child. Jeff Hauck can.
After he and his wife, Cambria, got married in 2012, they learned about their infertility issues, according to People.
Years later, they fertilized seven embryos and used IVF again to welcome twin sons, Diesel and Luca.
Cambria began experiencing "severe pain and cramping" and felt "gushes of blood." Doctors determined that she was hemorrhaging, leaving Cambria and her husband with the difficult decision to have a hysterectomy.
Ultimately, that was what the couple decided to do. "That was a hard choice for us," Cambria told People. This sadly left them wondering if they would be able to use the rest of their embryos.
It was only a month later that Jeff's mother, Nancy, brought up the idea of being their surrogate. It was a lovely thought, but no one thought it was possible because of Nancy's age.
So on February 17th, the embryo transfer took place. Six days later, Nancy took a pregnancy test that came back positive. "At this point, we all knew that this was meant to be," Cambria said.
"How many people get to watch their mom give birth?" Jeff said, calling the experience a "beautiful moment." He said that being in the delivery room while his mother gave birth wasn't awkward.
"Everything went perfectly and we are feeling so blessed to have her in our family," Nancy said. She also said that she is "facing new emotions of having a baby, but not bringing the baby home with me afterwards."
Her son and his wife did honor Nancy in a sweet way, though, by naming her Hannah. Jeff explained that his mother had woken up in the middle of the night soon after the pregnancy test and heard a little voice that said, 'My name is Hannah.' "
After looking up the name they discovered that the name Nancy comes from Hannah. "They both mean grace." It was all meant to be!
Luckily for them, this is what they always wanted. "We always had in our mind that we wanted four to six — whatever the Lord would bless us with, is what we would always say," said Cambria.
