“We tried for years and years naturally to have a baby, we did originally conceive quite a few times, but we just had multiple miscarriages and never got past six weeks,” she said.
After numerous miscarriages, tests were done and Clarissa underwent a procedure to remove one of her tubes.
However, they also later realised that Dave had fertility issues. She attributed the problems with Dave's fertility to his work, without specifying what he does for a living.
Christmas in hospital
The child was born three weeks early, and is not strong enough to leave the hospital.
“We were really hoping he'd be out before Christmas, but we'll be spending it with him in the hospital.
We will celebrate Christmas once he comes out of hospital, and we'll give him all his presents,” she said.
Despite not being able to go home for the holidays, Carissa said that having the child was nothing short of a miracle.
Couple waits eight years for triplets
In other news, YEN.com.gh reported that a childless couple for eight years praised God for blessing them with triplets.
Lamech and Joy got married in December 2010, and they had plans to start a family immediately.
However, their parenting journey proved hard as it took eight years of prayers and waiting to welcome children into the world.
The best part was that Joy gave birth to triplets who wiped their tears away.
