First Isaiah came out. Next was Isaac.

The twins were born Sunday about a month early but not too soon for first-time mother, 60-year-old Claudette Cook.

“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,” Cook told WFIE. “Everything changed in that moment. Once they’re born, your life changes.”

Claudette and her husband have been married 10 years. They started working with an in vitro-fertilization clinic about a year ago, according to WTHR.

“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,” Cook told WFIE. “No matter how hard it was, He brought me through it all, so, awesome God.”
