My friend in America emailed me after I had the twins. She has six children, when pregnant with her two eldest her mother was producing no 11 & 12.The last was at 48!!! haha I can still fit another in!!!! anyway, I was very encouraged when she told me, that she had mentioned our arrivals to her, and at 89 she is still very healthy and more spirtly than her peers!
