As a soon to be 59 year old man... we had a similar journey, took nearly 5 years to get pregnant... I have 2 main points here... 1. For the rest of the summer GO DO STUFF! Drop everything and go to a movie, or out to eat... or take weekend trips and get away. This is the calm before the storm... which brings me to my next point... 10 years from now you will look back and thank God for all this time you both had together, without kids. But seriously... go do something... in about a year it will take you 3 hours to get out of the house to go shopping. :)
I am beyond grateful to God for you guys’ pregnancy. I've been here on this channel for a good while (four years more or less) and this definitely was everyone's answered prayer. Surely, God was moving among us. Glory to His Name! Praise the LORD. By God's grace, you two will be godly parents. The LORD heard our prayers. Blessings!
It's an emotional rollercoaster. Starts with hope, then waiting, and then disappoinment month after month. I hope to one day have the privilege of getting pregnant. Infertility sucks, but I'm learning to stand in the victory of Christ in the now. Thank you guys for being vulnerable, and sharing your experience. Congrats on sweet Luca💙
There’s an amazing woman named Jennifer Lahl who I believe was a Nurse and now runs an organization that educates people on the ethics of all things infertility/IVF/surrogacy, from a Christian perspective. She has a UA-cam channel and goes into depth on many of these issues. A lot of Christian’s aren’t aware of the ethical issues surrounding the fertility industry so I hope anyone struggling checks Jennifer’s organization out. But I’m so glad y’all were able to conceive!! Praise God!
Hey Paul and Morgan I'm from South Africa and I've been following you guys since 2018. It really is heartwarming watching where you are now, your amazing faith in Abba and it almost brought me to tears watching Morgan react to finding out about her pregnancy. Praying for a safe arrival of Baby Luca ❤
Im going on 5 years in July of trying to get pregnant, but God has given me peace after going through a hard depression and he has built my faith in him that soon I will have my baby GIRL in Jesus name 🥰🤗
Hey, Morgan, I guess you’re right with your thoughts about how grateful you are now vs. how would it be if you got pregnant right in the beginning… I also convinced my husband about 8 months into our marriage, that we should be having sex when we feel it, not when my basal temperature and ovulation tests tell us that it’s “safe”. I was desiring to have a baby soon and I was doing pregnancy tests either way, even if the chance was quite small. So then my husband had decided to go for it … and I’m eight weeks pregnant from the “first try”😅 but I feel a bit ashamed. My husband is way more happy and confident than I am and I now feel too young (I will give birth at 22), unprepared, not mature enough, weak (and also sick 😂). Of course I’m grateful, but when I feel so stuck in the doubts, I don’t know if I shouldn’t wait longer … and your video reminded me, how big of a gift it is… but yeah, it’s so good for you that everything is going great and you can enjoy it so much after this journey :))
I had 1 baby and 1 on the way by your age. Just keep praying and asking God for peace. You’ve got this! I look forward to the fact that I will hopefully be a young grandma! Lol! My 2 oldest daughters are married now. I’m only 45 😂
Thank you for sharing your story! It took us several years to conceive our son and we have been struggling with second infertility for 4 years now. Hearing other’s stories makes me feel less alone 💗
I love this post. I am currently trying to have a with hubby and it’s so hard. We got pregnant last year when he came home deployed, which was dang amazing bcuz at first I was told it wasn’t possible. However, we lost our baby after 7 months the baby heartbeat stopped. We were heartbroken, still hurts a lot bcuz now I would be heading into my last trimester. We aren’t currently trying just trying to enjoy each other. I’m praying it happens soon though but also knowing God’s timing is perfect. Please keep us in your prayers
Amen! I just came across your channel for the first time! So thrilled for you both! The LORD is soooooo good! My husband and I have 9 precious children so far and each one truly is a gift from the LORD! Praying for a beautiful pregnancy and birth for you! Love the name, Luca! ❤️
I think you're so strong Morgan to be able to go through that journey and stop antidepressants and both emotionally and mentally go through all the issues and Paul as well to be there and be a good support. I have not tried getting pregnant because I haven't met my future husband yet but I have a friend who have been through horrible events because of pregnancy. She has been with her husband for 15 years. It was her first boyfriend and they have an wonderful relationship. They have tried to get pregnant for years and she has BUT everytime something awful happens. She has now had 8 miscarriages and I feel so sad for her because she and her husband suffers from it but I hope it will happen for them someday because they have tried for so long and they really want kids. I'm not christian as I have mentioned before in comments but I'm going towards that path. I don't know what I'm yet or what I believe in exactly, I just feel lost in life. But the reason why I started going towards reading the Bible and praying sometimes is because my brother have talked to me so much about Christianity and has been giving me advice and his words has really helped me alot going through life. I have had a lot of friends who were christians before in my childhood and teenage years but they did not act in a healthy way so they made me dislike religion when I was younger because they said they believed in God and went to church but at the same they did awful things and I'm not gonna mention everything but some of them caused me trauma and is reasons for why I have PTSD from sexual assualt and abuse. However later in life when my brother choose to learn about Christianity he taught me what it really stands for and all the good things about it. Then I met a woman 4 years ago who is still my friend. She grew up as a christian and is married to a priest and they have kids and she is one of the most strongest confident and happiest people I have met. I really look up to her because she is so kind and empathetic and have no problem with standing up for herself while accepting others as they are and want to help people as much as she can. She is about 13 years older than me. And 3 years ago when my health got so much worse and I got very sick I had to quit my job because I couldn't work and I used to be a preschool teacher. At that moment she asked me if she could pray for me and I said yes. Because I'm sick it's been hard to keep in touch with all my friends. So we hadn't talked for a while but recently she reached out to me and she asked me about my health and I told her all about it and she said something that really surprised me. Until this day she still prays for me everyday and I had no clue that she was still doing that so I started crying because I felt so touched by it because I found it beautiful to hear that she takes her time to pray for me even though we aren't as close anymore and she has been doing it for 3 years now. ❤️ The struggles I'm dealing with is: -Anxietydisorder -Panicattacks -Depression disorder -PTSD -Chronic fatigue -Primary low immune system which means I get sick about 10 times every year for 2-4 weeks everytime and usually end up on the hospital with IV. I also get very severe diseases so I have to eat alot of medications. -I'm also resistant to a big amount of antibiotics so they doesn't do anything for me , I'm not allergic they just doesn't work on my body and alot of doctors and nurses don't know why and have told me it's very unusual for someone in my age, I'm 27. -I have stomach problems. -Allergies -3 different skin problems. I can't do much at all these days but for some reason I still believe life can change for me someday so I keep fighting through it. I get a lot of motivation from reading books, listening to other people talk about their journeys in life and their advice and of course from all the support I receive from my family, friends and therapist. I'm looking for help everywhere. Trying different diets, and different ways to feel better mentally but it's tough. It feels like some higher power is testing me to see how much I can take because I just get more and more sick. But I'm not giving up. I stood in line to get therapy for 3 years but the mental health system in Sweden is really bad, they rather give you medication after medication then priorities giving therapy or other more healthier ways to help someone. Finally my parents decided this year that they will pay a huge amount of money so I can get therapy from a private therapist which I now go to every week. So I'm super thankful for that. I take a lot of different medications like antidepressants, anti anxiety pills, etc, which I really don't want to but I have no choice at the moment but I hope I can take less in the future when I feel better. 🙏
This is really encouraging, I’m so thankful y’all have decided to share all of this with the world. It’s been about 3.5 years since I wanted to have kids, but I needed to wait for my husband to feel ready and now we are finally TTC. We are early on in it, but the waiting process for me all these years has felt so long and challenging- constantly pouring my heart out to God and giving Him my broken heart and wiping my tears like Hannah in 1 Samuel. I love hearing that, going through everything, y’all now are so much more thankful and in awe of God. So so cool. 🤍
I’m so happy to hear of your guys amazing story. ♥️My story is actually the opposite! , I got pregnant accidentally, immediately after my wedding. I wasn’t sure if it was the right timing because it was during the pandemic and we didn’t know if we were ready. But as you said, God’s timing is perfect, and I couldn’t imagine not having my 14 month old daughter now!
"So long as you continue to please God, our Lord, Creator, and Father, without expecting anything in return... His grace and miracle will present itself, when you least expect it." is what I've taught myself to ALWAYS remember, which you and Morgan already knew, my man. And look where you are, 8 months, no, all these years later and you have indeed been rewarded for your patience, strength, and lest not forget, courage for speaking the Truth in God's name. God bless you both, and Paul's kiss coupled with Morgan's smile is always so satisfyingly delightful!
I like these types of uploads better than the cultural reaction videos. Please keep these coming. But most importantly, thank you Father, thank you Lord Jesus for blessing Paul and Morgan with the greatest gift...a child! Peace be with you guys :)
Lovemaking tents to make better babies. The less stress in both of you means you are better for conception that is why you hear many stories about people giving up on treatments and suddenly having a miracle baby
I’m watching this after just giving birth to my first child! It surely is such a wonderful miracle to be a mama Morgan! You are both already such wonderful parents!! 🥰🥰
The birth control thing hit hard. I recently came off of BC to try to have a baby. I have been taking it for about 10 years and I cannot believe how much better I feel! More energy, more sex drive and less mode swings! I guess I didn't realize how much it was messing with me because I took it for so long. I will definitely not go back on that stuff. Ever. God bless you guys!
I’m so grateful for the path God has walked me through. We have not begun to try for children yet, but I ditched birth control and began learning natural methods of family planning and cycle charting which led me to seek out a doctor to look into some of my hormonal issues, found out that I have autoimmune thyroiditis and an insulin resistance issue, both of which may have severely impacted my ability to become and remain pregnant in the future. I’m working on health changes and improving my thyroid and insulin function and just so thankful that God had brought me on this path to making changes before trying to conceive. He is so good! All of our journeys look different, but He is good and faithful in every circumstance! So happy for you guys! My co worker who dealt with infertility and 2 miscarriages is due at about the same time as you!
A word of advice: don’t listen to the enemy that will try to decree its own word over your baby. It’s all a lie. Keep the faith my precious brother and sister in Christ. God took you this far and he will see you through it as you already know but we do have an oppressor, just shake it off if he does try to whisper anything.(fear/anxiety) Love y’all. Praise God for the gift of life. Will be praying for you guys. Blood of Jesus protection 🙏🙌❤️
Your story is so amazing! Praise Jesus for your miracle ❤️ God is Good All the time! No matter what! He is ultimately in control. We try to be in control and our plans don't work out the best. My husband and I tried for 10 years to get pregnant. We did so many fertility treatments Clomid , shots, Iuis, and had 2 surgeries for endometriosis. Then I got pregnant in 2020 after I had given up hope on us having a baby we weren't using fertility treatments I was very relaxed on summer break! But Unfortunately, I miscarried at 8 weeks. It was so heartbreaking for us, but I know God has a plan. His plan is the Best plan. We are still trying and no matter what happens, I trust him! It is the hardest thing I've dealt with it's so difficult to give it all over to him.
Hi guys! Thank you for sharing your story. I enjoyed listening to it. I have been watching your videos lately and I really like your channel. Praise God that He blessed you all with baby Luca! Congratulations on your pregnancy. I know what I'm about to say dose not go with the video, but I thought I would mention it. Please to not feel like you have to follow this advice, but after little baby Luca is born and you are working on feeding, I would recommend having a lactation consultant check for oral ties. My son had 4 oral ties . A upper lip tie, 2 upper cheek ties and a tongue tie. It went undiagnosed for 3 months even though lactation consultants checked his mouth. I heard you guys live in KY. So do me and my husband and we know a really good lactation consultant that specializes in oral ties. Her name is Bonnie Logdson from Bonnie Knows Breast. Bonnie also works closely with a Pediatric Dentist named Ashley Tynan from Serendipity Dental. Ashley specializes in oral ties as well and she is the one who performed my son's oral tie release surgery. Ashley is great as well. Again Congratulations on your pregnancy. I know both of you guys are excited!😁
I'm seed cycling right now 🤣 No idea if it's working idk, it's a lot of work but we want a living child so bad. On a whole boatload of supplements to correct deficiencies, hopefully that helps. My daughter's kicks didn't hurt until the third trimester! You can gently change positions to encourage them to kick in a more comfortable spot 💕 Prayers for a healthy pregnancy 💖
Hi Paul and Morgan, could you do a video about being a christian dealing with depression and being on anti depressants? that's where I am at and I would really love to hear Morgan's experience if thats okay?
Hi guys! Thank you for sharing your story ! I really enjoyed it. I have been watching your videos for a bit and enjoy your channel. Congratulations on your pregnancy! Praise God that He blessed you all with baby Luca. I know what I'm about to say doesn't pertain to the video much. I wanted to give you a bit of advise with baby Luca. After he is born and you are working on feeding I suggest getting a lactation consultant to check for oral ties. My son had 4 oral ties, upper lip tie, 2 upper cheek ties and a tongue tie. It went undiagnosed for 3 months. Please do not feel like you have to follow this advice. I do like to tell people they may want to get there baby check for oral ties as I do not want you or any one else to have an horrible breastfeeding experience. If you do find that there are any problems with breastfeeding I know a good lactation consultant in Kentucky. I do believe you said you guys live in Kentucky. The lactation consultant's name is Bonnie Logdson from Bonnie knows Breast she is in Louisville. Also if your son does in end up with oral ties there is a Pediatric Dentist who works closely with Bonnie. Her name is Ashley Tynan from Serendipity Dental. She is in Lexington. Both Bonnie and Ashley specialize in treating oral ties. Ashley preforms the oral tie release surgery and Bonnie looks for oral ties and helps your breastfeeding experience become better. Again congratulations on your pregnancy! I know you all are so excited! 😁
This made me cry joyful tears. I am so so happy God blessed you with a healthy pregnancy 💖 I have two wonderful little children with someone I thought I was going to marry, despite my sin I am so grateful for the Lord blessing me with my babies. I'm waiting on marriage, He keeps all His promises. I know I did things backwards and some people may judge me for that but the Lord Jesus is merciful and loving, He uses all situations for His glory and purpose ❤ Needless to say, there was lots of repentance and gratefulness, I have been abstinent for over a year and am saving myself for marriage 🙏
Congratulations I knew y'all were trying for a while, it took my husband and I a good 6 years... And we started when I was 19 and he was 21 so we were baffled but to help the young people just didn't seem to be able to get the job done, and then when we finally did we ended up losing him right after he was born and what they said likely would have ended up being a stillbirth if I hadn't gone into labor when I did. After that we basically just opted to stop trying so hard and just let the university whoever do its thing and within 3 months you're pregnant again and after that I proceeded to catch pregnancy with the same frequency that normal people catch the common cold and we now have five tiny humans in our house who insisted on calling us mom and dad
I was able to catch the video before it was cut and I am just praying for Baby Luca and Momma Morgan to be safe during this pregnancy! And praying for Paul too😄 Love you both🥰
So happy for you two! 😭🤍🤍 I too am TTC with my husband. We put a hold on it for 2 months in order to focus on other important things in our life. But I would be lying if I said that getting my period didn’t hurt me (when we were trying months ago). I sometimes wonder if there is something wrong with my body. But my husband and I are just looking to the Lord and trusting Him completely that His timing is right. He has also called us to adopt a child, which we will be starting the process next year 🙏🏼🤍🤍🤍
I shared the vision God gave me after prayer with Morgan via Instagram on January 2, 2021, that she would have her own child I also shared with her during my prayer time that I see a baby boy, I was really nervous to right her, but the Lord assured me that it was a word from him. So, I believed and stood in total agreement I am so full of JOY for the both of you!!! Jesus may not answer when you want him to, but he always answers on time.
Your story of the "prophet" telling you that you would conceive that night... who is keeping these false prophets in check? That's a huge reason we also left the hyper charismatic movement... False prophecy is a BIG deal and people in that movement tend to just throw "words" and "prophecies" around and it's so dangerous.
Thank you for being so transparent and sharing this painful journey with us. I wait for my turn to become a mama. But I got saved in early 2021, but before that I was living in the world and was of the world🤦🏾♀️ but after being saved, God promised me marriage and children. But I was still on birth control from my worldly lifestyle. So God convicted me so many times to get rid of it. I tried to ignore Him. I started telling myself I’ll take it off when I meet the husband 😫 I finally got rid of it this May. God has babies for me to bring into this world and I’m excited and nervous at the same time. I never wanted kids or marriage and God has promised me both❤️ I trust in His faithfulness and when the time is right I’ll meet my spouse and we’ll start this journey🥰
31:50 Where Paul said baby, I think he meant to say belly. He takes time to look at his wife's belly and realize that his off spring is developing in there.
Thank you for sharing your story! As someone who has been processing the subject of having children lately this was super encouraging to hear. Blessings to you guys!
My dog's name is Luca and I call him poopy. Lol. It started with Lukey to Lukey poo to poopy, and sometimes I call him lulu or Louie. Luca is really a fun name I'm sure you guys will call him something cool
Thankful for you both sharing these struggles! This is so beyond helpful.. God is faithful. Thanks again for your openness, authenticity and encouragement. Just gotta keep going. God is faithful.
Beautiful video! The video from when you found out is it real or you made it later after you already knew? I can't imagine what an emotional moment it must have been!
@@PaulandMorgan You're entirely welcome. I am don't watch a lot of your videos but know that you both were mentioning how badly you wanted a baby. The lord is faithful.. 😊 God Bless You three.
I just want to say congratulations and praise God🙏🏼❤️ you guys have been amazing role models for me and I’ve been following you guys for i don’t even know how long but it’s been so beautiful to see your growth over the years💓 Your son is blessed to have parents who are lead by the Holy Spirit 🙌🏼
Hi, quite late, but after the live, I didn't have time to comment, so here we go: I looooove the Sir and Ma'am, since it's so american to me 😇 As you said, of course kids will call you mum and dad, but in certain sizes Sir and Ma'am are perfect. To me in my country this would be as weird, as if YOU would curtsy to your parents, every time you see them 🤣 But that makes it even more special 😍😇
Funny story: My sister and brother in law have an acquaintance that is quite rich and he (having an old people's name) said: "If you call your son my name, as a first name, I'll pay his whole university career.", since he doesn't have a son. Well, they didn't, but I think it was so funny, if in the future he would always have to explain his horrible (sorry for that 🤣) name and admit that his parents "sold him" for the price of some good university years 🤣
Im a Fertility Awareness Educator and I 100% agree with Paul about the terminology around reproduction being all wrong 🙏 dont get me started on the definition of “infertility”…all fodder for the pharma companies
God bless you for your work! FAM has been such a blessing in my life! Women and girls are not taught nearly enough about our bodies and how God created them to function! Been practicing an FAM method for 3 years now and have been able to take a deep dive into medical issues I had no idea about that could have caused infertility and miscarriage (thanks to a FEMM Health doctor!) but it’s all because I learned an FAM method!
Morgan u hurt 😢 my feelings bc of your sass jk 😁😂😆 but in seriousness yeah be careful drinking coffee ☕️ while pregnant. I was about explain myself but I have to go cut my hair 💇🏻♂️ and I miss most of live. Im studying to become a nurse and I read book about human development and there a section about pregnancy that talk about avoiding drinking alcohol beverages, coffee, marijuana, and no smoking bc it could harm the baby mental development. Im telling this because I care about you all and may God Bless you
My husband makes zero sperm cells and it’s been devastating for 4 years and counting of trying.. How would you guys suggest I keep hope with such a dismal diagnosis?
I would say a couple of things: 1) keep praying and dont stop (Luke 18:1) 2) keep loving your husband 3) don't become bitter or resentful towards him or the situation because its not his fault (unless he's obese due to over eating or something, idk)
Eating an ancestral diet is amazing for fertility and overall health. This is really just the way our ancestors ate it’s not really a “diet”. Weston A Price foundation has a lot of information on this. Eating organ meats especially beef liver is amazing for health. It’s a superfood. Cut out Polyunsaturated Fats. They’re very damaging to our bodies. You’ll hear people even medical professionals give you conflicting diet advice but I choose to look in history at what our ancestors ate when they were healthy, strong and having lots of babies! I think that speaks for itself more than today’s “science”. Have him only wear natural fiber underwear. 100% cotton is the best. Polyester and other plastic/artificial materials are known to harm fertility in men and women. There’s some shocking studies in what it does to sperm health and count. Some studies have shown it can drop sperm count to zero and then after months of wearing only cotton sperm went back to normal levels. Of course his fertility issues can be a genuine defect in his body and not have lifestyle or diet causes. It’s impossible to say without a fertility professional testing him. But I think about 80-90% of all of our health issues are caused by our lifestyle, environment and food and that’s the same thing that can heal us.
Your hormones will be raging after giving birth. So if you want a second, just remember 3-6 months after childbirth is (usually) the easiest time to get pregnant. I'm so happy God blessed you both with a precious baby ❤.
Lol, about drinking coffee whilst pregnant!!! As I threw up all throughout my pregnancy; coffee and peanut butter sandwiches were all I could really eat! I started calling my son "bubz" when he started to speak more and I still call him bubz and he is now 16! I may even still call him bubz even when he's 40yo 🤣!!! I also call him sweety/sweets/darl as well. And the odd pumpkin name!
Oh dear, the name it and claim it brigade. The Word of Faith, NAR (new age rubbish)....truly has wounded MANY. I'VE been burnt by false prophecies, I got tons from Bethel, sadly NONE came to fruition. I waited 3 months for one to occur. My faith waited, I....... doubted. So soooo glad you stepped away. God bless your belly. Morgan your previous video that hubby don't make you happy, very sad. You both seem a blast! 💜🇬🇧
@@PaulandMorgan glad to lovely duo! I bet you cannot wait till September! Eeek. How thrilling for y'all. God bless for healthy delivery! And maybe some pain relief lol. Blessings from UK 🇬🇧 🙏

Thank you for sharing your story! It took us several years to conceive our son and we have been struggling with second infertility for 4 years now. Hearing other’s stories makes me feel less alone 💗
I love this post. I am currently trying to have a with hubby and it’s so hard. We got pregnant last year when he came home deployed, which was dang amazing bcuz at first I was told it wasn’t possible. However, we lost our baby after 7 months the baby heartbeat stopped.

Amen! I just came across your channel for the first time! So thrilled for you both! The LORD is soooooo good! My husband and I have 9 precious children so far and each one truly is a gift from the LORD! Praying for a beautiful pregnancy and birth for you! Love the name, Luca! ❤️
Aww thank you! Wow 9, congrats on the big family!
I think you're so strong Morgan to be able to go through that journey and stop antidepressants and both emotionally and mentally go through all the issues and Paul as well to be there and be a good support.
I have not tried getting pregnant because I haven't met my future husband yet but I have a friend who have been through horrible events because of pregnancy.
She has been with her husband for 15 years. It was her first boyfriend and they have an wonderful relationship. They have tried to get pregnant for years and she has BUT everytime something awful happens. She has now had 8 miscarriages and I feel so sad for her because she and her husband suffers from it but I hope it will happen for them someday because they have tried for so long and they really want kids.
I'm not christian as I have mentioned before in comments but I'm going towards that path. I don't know what I'm yet or what I believe in exactly, I just feel lost in life.
But the reason why I started going towards reading the Bible and praying sometimes is because my brother have talked to me so much about Christianity and has been giving me advice and his words has really helped me alot going through life.
I have had a lot of friends who were christians before in my childhood and teenage years but they did not act in a healthy way so they made me dislike religion when I was younger because they said they believed in God and went to church but at the same they did awful things and I'm not gonna mention everything but some of them caused me trauma and is reasons for why I have PTSD from sexual assualt and abuse.
However later in life when my brother choose to learn about Christianity he taught me what it really stands for and all the good things about it.
Then I met a woman 4 years ago who is still my friend. She grew up as a christian and is married to a priest and they have kids and she is one of the most strongest confident and happiest people I have met. I really look up to her because she is so kind and empathetic and have no problem with standing up for herself while accepting others as they are and want to help people as much as she can.
She is about 13 years older than me.
And 3 years ago when my health got so much worse and I got very sick I had to quit my job because I couldn't work and I used to be a preschool teacher.
At that moment she asked me if she could pray for me and I said yes.
Because I'm sick it's been hard to keep in touch with all my friends.
So we hadn't talked for a while but recently she reached out to me and she asked me about my health and I told her all about it and she said something that really surprised me.
Until this day she still prays for me everyday and I had no clue that she was still doing that so I started crying because I felt so touched by it because I found it beautiful to hear that she takes her time to pray for me even though we aren't as close anymore and she has been doing it for 3 years now. ❤️
The struggles I'm dealing with is:
-Anxietydisorder
-Panicattacks
-Depression disorder
-PTSD
-Chronic fatigue
-Primary low immune system which means I get sick about 10 times every year for 2-4 weeks everytime and usually end up on the hospital with IV. I also get very severe diseases so I have to eat alot of medications.
-I'm also resistant to a big amount of antibiotics so they doesn't do anything for me , I'm not allergic they just doesn't work on my body and alot of doctors and nurses don't know why and have told me it's very unusual for someone in my age, I'm 27.
-I have stomach problems.
-Allergies
-3 different skin problems.
I can't do much at all these days but for some reason I still believe life can change for me someday so I keep fighting through it. I get a lot of motivation from reading books, listening to other people talk about their journeys in life and their advice and of course from all the support I receive from my family, friends and therapist. I'm looking for help everywhere. Trying different diets, and different ways to feel better mentally but it's tough. It feels like some higher power is testing me to see how much I can take because I just get more and more sick.
But I'm not giving up.
I stood in line to get therapy for 3 years but the mental health system in Sweden is really bad, they rather give you medication after medication then priorities giving therapy or other more healthier ways to help someone.
Finally my parents decided this year that they will pay a huge amount of money so I can get therapy from a private therapist which I now go to every week. So I'm super thankful for that.
I take a lot of different medications like antidepressants, anti anxiety pills, etc, which I really don't want to but I have no choice at the moment but I hope I can take less in the future when I feel better. 🙏
My bday is sept 4 too!! Praying for a wonderful and smooth rest of pregnancy and delivery 💙
🙌🙏
This is really encouraging, I’m so thankful y’all have decided to share all of this with the world.
It’s been about 3.5 years since I wanted to have kids, but I needed to wait for my husband to feel ready and now we are finally TTC. We are early on in it, but the waiting process for me all these years has felt so long and challenging- constantly pouring my heart out to God and giving Him my broken heart and wiping my tears like Hannah in 1 Samuel. I love hearing that, going through everything, y’all now are so much more thankful and in awe of God. So so cool. 🤍
❤️❤️
I’m so happy to hear of your guys amazing story. ♥️My story is actually the opposite! , I got pregnant accidentally, immediately after my wedding. I wasn’t sure if it was the right timing because it was during the pandemic and we didn’t know if we were ready. But as you said, God’s timing is perfect, and I couldn’t imagine not having my 14 month old daughter now!
Aww praise God!🙌
Hey me too! I got pregnant immediately after getting married!!!
"So long as you continue to please God, our Lord, Creator, and Father, without expecting anything in return... His grace and miracle will present itself, when you least expect it." is what I've taught myself to ALWAYS remember, which you and Morgan already knew, my man. And look where you are, 8 months, no, all these years later and you have indeed been rewarded for your patience, strength, and lest not forget, courage for speaking the Truth in God's name. God bless you both, and Paul's kiss coupled with Morgan's smile is always so satisfyingly delightful!
Thank you for the comment🙏
I can relate I was never able to get pregnant and at 72 I can still get a bit emotional
I like these types of uploads better than the cultural reaction videos. Please keep these coming.
But most importantly, thank you Father, thank you Lord Jesus for blessing Paul and Morgan with the greatest gift...a child!
Peace be with you guys :)
❤️
Lovemaking tents to make better babies. The less stress in both of you means you are better for conception that is why you hear many stories about people giving up on treatments and suddenly having a miracle baby
I’m watching this after just giving birth to my first child! It surely is such a wonderful miracle to be a mama Morgan! You are both already such wonderful parents!! 🥰🥰
Aww awesome!
The birth control thing hit hard. I recently came off of BC to try to have a baby. I have been taking it for about 10 years and I cannot believe how much better I feel! More energy, more sex drive and less mode swings! I guess I didn't realize how much it was messing with me because I took it for so long. I will definitely not go back on that stuff. Ever. God bless you guys!
I’m so grateful for the path God has walked me through. We have not begun to try for children yet, but I ditched birth control and began learning natural methods of family planning and cycle charting which led me to seek out a doctor to look into some of my hormonal issues, found out that I have autoimmune thyroiditis and an insulin resistance issue, both of which may have severely impacted my ability to become and remain pregnant in the future. I’m working on health changes and improving my thyroid and insulin function and just so thankful that God had brought me on this path to making changes before trying to conceive. He is so good! All of our journeys look different, but He is good and faithful in every circumstance! So happy for you guys! My co worker who dealt with infertility and 2 miscarriages is due at about the same time as you!
Thank you for sharing🙏❤️
A word of advice: don’t listen to the enemy that will try to decree its own word over your baby. It’s all a lie. Keep the faith my precious brother and sister in Christ. God took you this far and he will see you through it as you already know but we do have an oppressor, just shake it off if he does try to whisper anything.(fear/anxiety) Love y’all. Praise God for the gift of life. Will be praying for you guys. Blood of Jesus protection 🙏🙌❤️
❤️❤️
Your story is so amazing! Praise Jesus for your miracle ❤️ God is Good All the time! No matter what! He is ultimately in control. We try to be in control and our plans don't work out the best.
My husband and I tried for 10 years to get pregnant. We did so many fertility treatments Clomid , shots, Iuis, and had 2 surgeries for endometriosis. Then I got pregnant in 2020 after I had given up hope on us having a baby we weren't using fertility treatments I was very relaxed on summer break! But Unfortunately, I miscarried at 8 weeks. It was so heartbreaking for us, but I know God has a plan. His plan is the Best plan. We are still trying and no matter what happens, I trust him! It is the hardest thing I've dealt with it's so difficult to give it all over to him.
Wow, thank you for sharing that, Kristen. That’s so tough, your trusting the Lord is inspiring🙏❤️
Hi guys! Thank you for sharing your story. I enjoyed listening to it. I have been watching your videos lately and I really like your channel. Praise God that He blessed you all with baby Luca! Congratulations on your pregnancy. I know what I'm about to say dose not go with the video, but I thought I would mention it. Please to not feel like you have to follow this advice, but after little baby Luca is born and you are working on feeding, I would recommend having a lactation consultant check for oral ties. My son had 4 oral ties . A upper lip tie, 2 upper cheek ties and a tongue tie. It went undiagnosed for 3 months even though lactation consultants checked his mouth. I heard you guys live in KY. So do me and my husband and we know a really good lactation consultant that specializes in oral ties. Her name is Bonnie Logdson from Bonnie Knows Breast. Bonnie also works closely with a Pediatric Dentist named Ashley Tynan from Serendipity Dental. Ashley specializes in oral ties as well and she is the one who performed my son's oral tie release surgery. Ashley is great as well. Again Congratulations on your pregnancy. I know both of you guys are excited!😁
I'm seed cycling right now 🤣 No idea if it's working idk, it's a lot of work but we want a living child so bad. On a whole boatload of supplements to correct deficiencies, hopefully that helps.
My daughter's kicks didn't hurt until the third trimester! You can gently change positions to encourage them to kick in a more comfortable spot 💕
Prayers for a healthy pregnancy 💖
😊❤️
Hi Paul and Morgan, could you do a video about being a christian dealing with depression and being on anti depressants? that's where I am at and I would really love to hear Morgan's experience if thats okay?
Hi guys! Thank you for sharing your story ! I really enjoyed it. I have been watching your videos for a bit and enjoy your channel. Congratulations on your pregnancy! Praise God that He blessed you all with baby Luca. I know what I'm about to say doesn't pertain to the video much. I wanted to give you a bit of advise with baby Luca. After he is born and you are working on feeding I suggest getting a lactation consultant to check for oral ties. My son had 4 oral ties, upper lip tie, 2 upper cheek ties and a tongue tie. It went undiagnosed for 3 months. Please do not feel like you have to follow this advice. I do like to tell people they may want to get there baby check for oral ties as I do not want you or any one else to have an horrible breastfeeding experience. If you do find that there are any problems with breastfeeding I know a good lactation consultant in Kentucky. I do believe you said you guys live in Kentucky. The lactation consultant's name is Bonnie Logdson from Bonnie knows Breast she is in Louisville. Also if your son does in end up with oral ties there is a Pediatric Dentist who works closely with Bonnie. Her name is Ashley Tynan from Serendipity Dental. She is in Lexington. Both Bonnie and Ashley specialize in treating oral ties. Ashley preforms the oral tie release surgery and Bonnie looks for oral ties and helps your breastfeeding experience become better. Again congratulations on your pregnancy! I know you all are so excited! 😁
I am keeping this as a testimony on my phone literally for the rest of my life. Woww. Loved and learned a lot from your testimomy❤
Aww❤️❤️
This made me cry joyful tears. I am so so happy God blessed you with a healthy pregnancy 💖
I have two wonderful little children with someone I thought I was going to marry, despite my sin I am so grateful for the Lord blessing me with my babies. I'm waiting on marriage, He keeps all His promises.
I know I did things backwards and some people may judge me for that but the Lord Jesus is merciful and loving, He uses all situations for His glory and purpose ❤ Needless to say, there was lots of repentance and gratefulness, I have been abstinent for over a year and am saving myself for marriage 🙏
Congratulations I knew y'all were trying for a while, it took my husband and I a good 6 years... And we started when I was 19 and he was 21 so we were baffled but to help the young people just didn't seem to be able to get the job done, and then when we finally did we ended up losing him right after he was born and what they said likely would have ended up being a stillbirth if I hadn't gone into labor when I did. After that we basically just opted to stop trying so hard and just let the university whoever do its thing and within 3 months you're pregnant again and after that I proceeded to catch pregnancy with the same frequency that normal people catch the common cold and we now have five tiny humans in our house who insisted on calling us mom and dad
I was able to catch the video before it was cut and I am just praying for Baby Luca and Momma Morgan to be safe during this pregnancy! And praying for Paul too😄 Love you both🥰
Thank you!❤️❤️
Actually, the name Grace is not just for girls where I'm from, I'm from South Africa. I know men called Grace and Gracious.
Woot woot😊
Oh god this poor kid.
So happy for you two! 😭🤍🤍 I too am TTC with my husband. We put a hold on it for 2 months in order to focus on other important things in our life. But I would be lying if I said that getting my period didn’t hurt me (when we were trying months ago). I sometimes wonder if there is something wrong with my body. But my husband and I are just looking to the Lord and trusting Him completely that His timing is right. He has also called us to adopt a child, which we will be starting the process next year 🙏🏼🤍🤍🤍
Thank you for sharing, Kris🙏 Stay encouraged and keep leaning on Christ! And that’s awesome about adoption!
Paul's Jesse L. Peterson impression is still on point lol 35:47
😁😉
Love you guys!!! That's all I can say right now. God has more great things for you. Always watching you videos from miles away in Cameroon.
Aww thank you❤️
The lord is great always,his time is a perfect time.children is gift from God ,congratulations I’m so happy for you.Praise lord 👏👏
❤️
I was so happy when you guys got pregnant I have followed since 2019 and love you both so much despite being separated by a screen
Aww thank you!❤️
I shared the vision God gave me after prayer with Morgan via Instagram on January 2, 2021, that she would have her own child I also shared with her during my prayer time that I see a baby boy, I was really nervous to right her, but the Lord assured me that it was a word from him. So, I believed and stood in total agreement I am so full of JOY for the both of you!!! Jesus may not answer when you want him to, but he always answers on time.
Please pray for my husband and I to get pregnant with a full term healthy baby.
🙏🙏
As a medical professional now retired after 30 years I didn’t miss the class on not to promise a patient
Your story of the "prophet" telling you that you would conceive that night... who is keeping these false prophets in check? That's a huge reason we also left the hyper charismatic movement... False prophecy is a BIG deal and people in that movement tend to just throw "words" and "prophecies" around and it's so dangerous.
I agree, that needs to be addressed🙏
Thank you for being so transparent and sharing this painful journey with us.
I wait for my turn to become a mama. But I got saved in early 2021, but before that I was living in the world and was of the world🤦🏾♀️ but after being saved, God promised me marriage and children. But I was still on birth control from my worldly lifestyle. So God convicted me so many times to get rid of it. I tried to ignore Him. I started telling myself I’ll take it off when I meet the husband 😫 I finally got rid of it this May. God has babies for me to bring into this world and I’m excited and nervous at the same time. I never wanted kids or marriage and God has promised me both❤️ I trust in His faithfulness and when the time is right I’ll meet my spouse and we’ll start this journey🥰
Thank you for sharing :) Keep pressing into Him🙏
31:50 Where Paul said baby, I think he meant to say belly. He takes time to look at his wife's belly and realize that his off spring is developing in there.
Thank you for sharing your story! As someone who has been processing the subject of having children lately this was super encouraging to hear. Blessings to you guys!
My dog's name is Luca and I call him poopy. Lol. It started with Lukey to Lukey poo to poopy, and sometimes I call him lulu or Louie. Luca is really a fun name I'm sure you guys will call him something cool
That’s awesome! Haha but we prob won’t be using that nickname😆
Congratulations Morgan. May the little sweetie be born healthy.
Thankful for you both sharing these struggles! This is so beyond helpful..
God is faithful. Thanks again for your openness, authenticity and encouragement.
Just gotta keep going. God is faithful.
Beautiful video! The video from when you found out is it real or you made it later after you already knew?
I can't imagine what an emotional moment it must have been!
It was real!
This is so inspiring. It shows that through the struggle, y’all still had hope in Christ. I’m so happy for y’all. Trust in God’s timing! ✝️❤️
Thank you for sharing!! Gives me hope 🙏🏼🙏🏼🥹
Congratulations to you both.. Prayers for you and your lil angel. 🙏
Thank you!
@@PaulandMorgan You're entirely welcome. I am don't watch a lot of your videos but know that you both were mentioning how badly you wanted a baby. The lord is faithful.. 😊 God Bless You three.
Morgan, how has your mental health been lately? Are you currently on anti depressants?
NEW MERCH LINE?! WHAAATTT!! I have been waiting for those words. 🥳🥳
😄🔥🔥
I just want to say congratulations and praise God🙏🏼❤️ you guys have been amazing role models for me and I’ve been following you guys for i don’t even know how long but it’s been so beautiful to see your growth over the years💓 Your son is blessed to have parents who are lead by the Holy Spirit 🙌🏼
Aww amen❤️
did they have teir baby
Oh my goodness! How come I never knew, you Morgan, have a UA-cam channel!!! Soooo cool!
Yep!😄
Legit crying (again) at the Walmart part
Aww❤️🥲
DID THEY HAVE THEIR BABY IM CONFUSED
Ask your doc if you can take an antihistamine. My doc said I could, for insomnia and it helps (I'm not pregnant though)
Praise God! May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you guys!!
Dude. Romantic adventure it is. God bless you, guys! 🙌🏼
😊😊
God’s plans are always perfect
❤️
Hi, quite late, but after the live, I didn't have time to comment, so here we go: I looooove the Sir and Ma'am, since it's so american to me 😇
As you said, of course kids will call you mum and dad, but in certain sizes Sir and Ma'am are perfect.
To me in my country this would be as weird, as if YOU would curtsy to your parents, every time you see them 🤣
But that makes it even more special 😍😇
Haha love it
Funny story: My sister and brother in law have an acquaintance that is quite rich and he (having an old people's name) said: "If you call your son my name, as a first name, I'll pay his whole university career.", since he doesn't have a son. Well, they didn't, but I think it was so funny, if in the future he would always have to explain his horrible (sorry for that 🤣) name and admit that his parents "sold him" for the price of some good university years 🤣
Wooowww that’s so funny
So excited for merch!!
😄😄🙌
Im a Fertility Awareness Educator and I 100% agree with Paul about the terminology around reproduction being all wrong 🙏 dont get me started on the definition of “infertility”…all fodder for the pharma companies
Haha thank you!😛❤️
God bless you for your work! FAM has been such a blessing in my life! Women and girls are not taught nearly enough about our bodies and how God created them to function! Been practicing an FAM method for 3 years now and have been able to take a deep dive into medical issues I had no idea about that could have caused infertility and miscarriage (thanks to a FEMM Health doctor!) but it’s all because I learned an FAM method!
So excited for you two! September 13 is actually my brother Paul’s birthday! So Luca might land on one Paul’s birthday! 😂
that's cool that means 2 birthday parties one for the kids and the other for the adults
@@Funoct haha, yeah!! 😄
It's mine too. But I pray for Paul's sake, he comes on the 4th.
@@kagisomokoena209 yes, that would be so cool to have their first baby and first son in his birthday! 🥹
Haha love it.
Such a beautiful couple. God in everything ✨Wish you all the best💟
YAY IM GETTING THE MERCH FINALLY
Woot😄
Morgan u hurt 😢 my feelings bc of your sass jk 😁😂😆 but in seriousness yeah be careful drinking coffee ☕️ while pregnant. I was about explain myself but I have to go cut my hair 💇🏻♂️ and I miss most of live. Im studying to become a nurse and I read book about human development and there a section about pregnancy that talk about avoiding drinking alcohol beverages, coffee, marijuana, and no smoking bc it could harm the baby mental development. Im telling this because I care about you all and may God Bless you
Appreciate you sharing Jonathan. We appreciate you❤️ Hope the haircut went well!
I love you guys and have been following your journey off and on so excited for you guys! 🥰🥰
❤️❤️
Did you guys try various NFP methods such as the Creighton method, the Marquette method, or the sympto-thermal method when trying to become pregnant?
These are the best! :)
That is such a beautiful story. Tfs
❤️❤️😊
:) Praise God!
😄❤️
Beautiful you guys 🙏🏻🥰
😊❤️
Love you guys x
❤️😊
Yes yes praise God u got off of anti-depressant meds. It’s a miracle. I know ….
My husband makes zero sperm cells and it’s been devastating for 4 years and counting of trying.. How would you guys suggest I keep hope with such a dismal diagnosis?
I would say a couple of things:
1) keep praying and dont stop (Luke 18:1)
2) keep loving your husband
3) don't become bitter or resentful towards him or the situation because its not his fault (unless he's obese due to over eating or something, idk)
Eating an ancestral diet is amazing for fertility and overall health. This is really just the way our ancestors ate it’s not really a “diet”. Weston A Price foundation has a lot of information on this. Eating organ meats especially beef liver is amazing for health. It’s a superfood. Cut out Polyunsaturated Fats. They’re very damaging to our bodies. You’ll hear people even medical professionals give you conflicting diet advice but I choose to look in history at what our ancestors ate when they were healthy, strong and having lots of babies! I think that speaks for itself more than today’s “science”.
Have him only wear natural fiber underwear. 100% cotton is the best. Polyester and other plastic/artificial materials are known to harm fertility in men and women. There’s some shocking studies in what it does to sperm health and count. Some studies have shown it can drop sperm count to zero and then after months of wearing only cotton sperm went back to normal levels.
Of course his fertility issues can be a genuine defect in his body and not have lifestyle or diet causes. It’s impossible to say without a fertility professional testing him. But I think about 80-90% of all of our health issues are caused by our lifestyle, environment and food and that’s the same thing that can heal us.

Wow!!! Congratulations you guys are pregnant!!! Praise Him!!!!
Thank you, Jasmine!❤️
Your hormones will be raging after giving birth. So if you want a second, just remember 3-6 months after childbirth is (usually) the easiest time to get pregnant. I'm so happy God blessed you both with a precious baby ❤.
😗❤️
God bless congratulations
Lol, about drinking coffee whilst pregnant!!! As I threw up all throughout my pregnancy; coffee and peanut butter sandwiches were all I could really eat!
I started calling my son "bubz" when he started to speak more and I still call him bubz and he is now 16! I may even still call him bubz even when he's 40yo 🤣!!! I also call him sweety/sweets/darl as well. And the odd pumpkin name!
It sounds like you’re against IVF? Care to explain?
Oh dear, the name it and claim it brigade. The Word of Faith, NAR (new age rubbish)....truly has wounded MANY.
I'VE been burnt by false prophecies, I got tons from Bethel, sadly NONE came to fruition. I waited 3 months for one to occur. My faith waited, I....... doubted.
So soooo glad you stepped away. God bless your belly. Morgan your previous video that hubby don't make you happy, very sad. You both seem a blast! 💜🇬🇧
Thank you for sharing
@@PaulandMorgan glad to lovely duo! I bet you cannot wait till September! Eeek. How thrilling for y'all. God bless for healthy delivery! And maybe some pain relief lol. Blessings from UK 🇬🇧 🙏
