Amidst the surrogacy journey, though, Chrissy had a breakthrough in therapy and realized she wanted to try to carry her own child one more time. “If it doesn’t work, we will be okay,” she remembered telling John. “We’ve already seen the worst. I promised I would be okay no matter what happened.”

After another round of IVF, Chrissy became pregnant with Esti, and during this time, she and John met their surrogate, Alexandra. “I knew she was a perfect match for us the moment we spoke to her,” Chrissy gushed. “All our wishes and dreams aligned. I wanted to be her friend, I wanted our children to play, I wanted dinner together. I wanted them to be in our lives for as long as time would allow.”

There was one embryo transfer that didn’t survive, but then a second transfer was successful. At that point, Chrissy was already past her first trimester of pregnancy. She and Alexandra spent several months pregnant together, building a friendship, as well. Chrissy and John chose the middle name Alexander for their baby boy in honor of the surrogate.
