Alexis’s daughter, who was also born through surrogacy, celebrated her first birthday today.



It makes domestic guru Martha Stewart a grandmother for the second time.



Alexis, 46, spent five difficult years trying to have a child before Jude was born via a surrogate mother.

Before that, surrogates who carried for Alexis miscarried a heart-breaking four times.



'I refused to get excited about [the baby],' she has said of the previous disappointment.



During one of the pregnancies, 'we went for the second test and there was no heartbeat,' Alexis shared.

'So every time I went to get a sonogram with Jude, I would have that "I can't stand up" feeling. I related the sonogram to something horrible.'



At one point during the process, Alexis was spending $27,000 a month for in vitro fertilisation treatment with an additional $6,000 for the drugs that stimulated egg production.
