(WFIE)  A 60-year-old woman became a new mom to fraternal twins Sunday night.
 
Last year, Claudette Cook and her husband decided to start a family, but they knew they'd have to deal with a few bumps in the road. 
 
Now, she's a mother for the first time, after her 60th birthday.
"Isaiah came out first, and Isaac came out second," said Claudette Cook.
 
Cook beat all odds.
 
"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 us while holding her husband, Ross's hand.  "Everything changed in that moment. Once they're born, your life changes."
Isaac and Isaiah were born at each five pounds, almost a month before Claudette's due date.
