party guests were amazed when another balloon was
brought out. This time, pink confetti flew everywhere.
Their surrogate was pregnant with a girl.
Allyson had an uncomplicated pregnancy and birth,
and the couple were thrilled to welcome baby Tyson
into the world. Six weeks later, they flew to Ohio the
day before their surrogate underwent a C-section to
welcome baby Annie.
Three-and-a-half years later, the couple still count
their blessings. Tyson is “all boy,” his mom says. He
loves trucks, balls, superheroes, and Paw Patrol. He’s a
bit timid, a pleaser, and a snuggler, she says. He has his
mommy’s heart and he’s his dad’s little buddy.
Annie is “all girl.” She’s into dance, makeup, and
dolls. She’s spunky, dramatic, loud, and full of life. She
has her daddy’s heart, and she’s her mom’s best friend.
“Our story couldn’t have been written any better,”
Allyson says. “God had a hand in this. It was so beyond
our control. We are so grateful to have a healthy boy
and a healthy girl. It was all so worth it.”
