Over the weekend, we shamefully found ourselves on a picnic blanket with two other late-20's women, discussing the fact that while we don't want children now, we don't want to be all dried up by the time it actually becomes a possibility. While we know that's a little ridiculous, a woman reaches her fertile peak at 27. Considering we're 26 and we're more likely to end-up on Top Chef than The Bachelorette, we can't help but sometimes worry about these things. Especially after we've been swigging whiskey from a bottle and burning ourselves with sparklers.
But if a 70-year-old woman can get knocked-up, we are going to stop worrying right this second.
A couple in India was so desperate for male off spring that they spent their entire life savings and took out a bank loan for IVF treatments. Amazingly — amazingly! — it worked and 70-year-old Omkari Panwar gave birth to a 2-pound boy and a 2-pound girl.
"We already have two girls but we wanted a boy so that he could have taken care of our property. This boy and girl are God's greatest gift to us," Omkari said.
Father of the twins, Charam Singh, a farmer in his mid-70s, told ABC News he was very happy.
"The desire for a male child has always been there, but God did not bless us with a male child. Now, we are very grateful to God, who has answered our prayers," he said.
We hope they saved a little for a nanny, too.
