“I have longed and prayed for this moment for what seems like my whole life, so today is beyond extra special for me knowing that I will finally be a Mommy soon to Skylar Gray!” she continued. “My heart is so full of gratitude for this miracle growing inside me.”

The journey to this moment has been very difficult for Gretchen and Slade, 45. They have actively been trying to get pregnant for years but have encountered several obstacles along the way.

Gretchen revealed on Jeff Lewis’ SiriusXM show in August 2018 that she lost fourteen embryos during her devastating IVF battle.

The former RHOC star first revealed she was expecting in December. She crossed the 30-week mark earlier this month.
