However, it hasn't been without its challenges, especially when it comes to setting up the perfect nursery for their children.
The couple has faced significant stress due to ongoing house renovations that have left their nursery plans in limbo. Francesca revealed in a recent interview that their home has been under construction for two years, leading to a legal battle with their original contractor. The situation has forced them to consider alternative arrangements for the twins' arrival, possibly setting up temporary cribs in their own bedroom.
So, while the reality star suggests the original contractor wasn't the perfect match, she and Jesse whose family also includes 15-year-oldArlo—are coming up with a plan.

"We're hoping that we can be living in the house for when the babies are here," she said. "If not, the nursery is going to be in our room. We're just going to put cribs beside our bed and figure it out when they're a little older maybe two, three months. Because, yeah, it's very stressful."
Despite the setbacks, Francesca and Jesse are a testament to resilience and adaptability. They represent a new modern family, breaking traditional molds and showcasing a positive light on diverse family structures. Their openness about their IVF journey and Jesse's experiences as a trans man have resonated with many, offering representation and hope to be underrepresented.
Francesca has also been candid about her anxieties surrounding the pregnancy, sharing her fears and the pressures of ensuring everything is perfect for the twins. Her honesty about the emotional rollercoaster of pregnancy and the desire to have everything in place reflects the realities many expectant parents face, regardless of their public status.
Francesca Farago expressed how having the twins in the same room with her will help put her mind at ease.
"There's no way I would have them in a different room, especially both of them," she explained of having the twins bunk with them for a few months. "You'd have to wake up every five minutes. I'm an anxious parent, and I'm just anxious overall. So, I would need to look over and see them breathing every 10 minutes.
As they navigate these personal and logistical challenges, Francesca and Jesse continue to share their story, contributing to a broader conversation about family, identity, and the complexities of bringing new life into the world. Their experience underscores the importance of support systems, flexibility, and the strength found in partnership.
"I'm anxious all the time," she added. "I am so nervous of something going wrong or keeping them in there. I thought getting out of the first trimester I would feel like, 'Oh, OK, we're in the no-danger zone.' But we're still not out of it. I'm not out of the danger zone until the babies are in my arms, and even then, I have to keep them alive. So, I feel like you're not out of the danger zone until they're, like, 18. But even then, you're still worried. So, for the rest of your life, you're worried forever."
Francesca Farago trying to enjoy her pregnancy especially now that she's done with her "brutal" first trimester. Included " I was pretty much on bed rest not medically, just voluntarily," she said. "I could not get out of bed. I was exhausted. I didn't want to eat anything. I was really nauseous, so that was really hard. But right around 10 weeks, it was like the gates of Heaven opened up and I was myself again. I'm still exhausted, very exhausted at all times. But I think that's just because apparently, when you're pregnant, it's like running a marathon every day. You burn crazy calories just existing. So, I think it's really easy to get exhausted. But second trimester has been lovely."
The anticipation of welcoming twins is a joyous occasion, but it's also a reminder that the path to parenthood can be fraught with unexpected obstacles. Francesca Farago and Jesse Sullivan's story is one of determination and love, a narrative that will soon include the sounds of tiny feet and the warmth of a family that has triumphed over adversity.
