<p>The problem is that I need a real walk and virtual chocolates!!! :)</p>
<p>
Now THOSE are grounds for FIRING!!! 
Oy vey. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>
Problem was, I loved it too!!! We had originally wanted four, but ended up with six! Glad to know my dh isn’t THAT weird and that yours also appreciated pregnancy! :)</p>

<p>NYMomof2,
She may have used donor eggs. However, I also read that she had frozen embroyos of her own. She won’t say if the babies are using her own eggs or not. </p>
<p>Older pregnancies in one’s forties are one thing, but 60 is pretty extreme. I don’t get the rationale of “playmate for the six year old”. Truly with a six year age difference, the twins won’t really be a playmate for the six year old. As they age, they will have more in common but that is a long ways off. There are ways to get a playmate. Have lots of play dates! I understand the craving to have babies. But she can have grandchildren~!</p>
<p>soozievt,
I totally agree that the “playmate for the six year old” is way off base. S#1 was 6 1/2 years old when my twins S’s were born. They really had nothing to do with each other in the early years. Think of S#1 as a freshman in high school with S’s 2&3 in third grade. Now that they are quite older (high school and college age) they “mix” much more.</p>
<p>Here’s a link to another video interview of the couple:</p>
<p><a href=“Yahoo Life: Latest News on Health, Wellness, Style, Fashion Trends and More”>Yahoo Life: Latest News on Health, Wellness, Style, Fashion Trends and More;
<p>I hope the 63 year old father doesn’t have plans to retire before he’s 81 and the kids start college! Oy.</p>
<p>The mother’s attitude seems to be unrealistic. She’s doesn’t want to be dictated to by society…what about Mother Nature? What are the odds she will be healthy or even alive when these kids are in high school? It’s like the witticism, “Gravity–it’s not just a good idea. It’s the Law.”</p>
<p>I wish her luck.</p>
<p>soozie, she may well have used frozen embryos, but they would have been left over from her previous IVF attempt(s) that resulted in the 6-year-old. Since she was already in her 50’s then, there is no possibility that she was using her own eggs. Although there are a few spontaneous pregnancies in women over 45 (and I have a lively 8-year-old to prove it), the rate of success for IVF attempts in women 43-45 who use their own eggs is vanishingly small. Believe me, no one who uses reproductive technology to conceive after 50 uses her own eggs.</p>
<p>Well, berurah…I will look forward to a future announcement from you and your DH!!! :)
If anyone can handle it, I’m sure you could–seriously!!! All of us on CC would “shower” you with gifts–and probably trips out to help you!! </p>
<p>We know we don’t want any more of our own at our ages–but are very much looking forward to having grandchildren when the time comes for that (and by no means are we looking for those anytime soon!!)</p>
<p>
<strong><em>ROFL</em></strong> NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I’m completely happy with our six!!! And yes, like you, looking forward to my kids’ kids one day (hopefully in the WAAAAAAAAAAAY distant future!)! :D</p>
<p>~berurah</p>
<p>Also ROFL at the thought! My 4 have turned out so well that it seems a shame we didn’t have more, but…I’d like someone else to go through labor for me, and stay up nights, and potty train them! I’ll take them back later, thanks. :D</p>
<p>Remember how Sarah laughed when the messenger told her she was going to be a mother at her (and Abraham’s) advanced age? We can all empathize deeply.</p>
