Earlier in the year, Francis spoke to ABC about using in vitro fertilization and preimplantation genetic diagnosis to make sure he had healthy girls.
"The technology has only been around for a year and a half," Francis told ABC News in April. "You can screen out over 1,700 genetic diseases. You can even take out the probability of breast cancer, all these things, before they are even implanted."
Francis said that he and Wilson chose girls because that's what they know from growing up.
"Abbey comes from a family of girls, no brothers, and I have three sisters and no brothers," he said. "We both wanted girls. We talked about it for a while. We both feel like we only know girls. We just grew up with it."
