When Claudette Cook and her husband, Ross, decided to start a family last year, they knew it would be difficult, because she was 59 at the time.

But on Sunday night, just after Claudette turned 60, little Isaiah and Isaac were born. The fraternal twins were each five pounds and were born almost a month before their due date.

“I cried. I was like, you know, you look at TV and you see other people in the delivery room and you’re like, oh my goodness. And, it was me. So, joy, it was so sweet,” Claudette said. “Everything changed in that moment. Once they’re born, your life changes.”

“Age is but a number with God. Plus, I was healthy and in shape. I was like, yes, I know I can do this — I know I can.  No matter how hard it was, He brought me through it all, so, awesome God.”
