Kersti and Nina’s baby – nicknamed Bushbaby by Cornelia, as both of them work in the bush and love nature – is on the way.
“We were really emotional when we found out that we were pregnant and were so scared to tell anyone, so we waited until we were 10 weeks,” says Kersti.
“Both of our moms were over the moon. Not long after, Kersti’s mom sadly passed away. Before she died, she was convinced that Kersti was carrying a boy… She was right!” says Nina.
Now 23 weeks, Kersti and Nina are looking forward to the birth of their son, Tristan Andrew Butler, whose due date is 17th January 2023.
“Dr Joubert even called my sister-in-law to tell her the sex of our baby so that she could do a surprise ‘gender reveal’ celebration,” says Nina.
“Nina always wanted a son! We had a cake, balloons, and a blue flare, and she was overcome with emotion as a blue flare lit the skies,” says Kersti.
“We cannot say thank you enough to Dr Joubert and Cornelia at SurgiClinic for their support, after so many years of trying and hope spreading thin, they have helped with our miracle baby. Our families and close friends even our employer have been amazing with their support on our journey. Everyone is extremely excited,” adds Nina.
