I guess one way to be a stay at home mom is to wait until you retire to have kids.  I was both intrigued and amazed by this story today:

A 60-year-old New Jersey woman gave birth to two healthy baby boys yesterday, becoming the oldest woman to give birth to twins in the U.S.  The babies were doing well after being delivered by planned Cesarean section. Their mother, Frieda Birnbaum, had in-vitro fertilization in South Africa.

She and her husband of 38 years, Ken Birnbaum, were exhausted but happy last night after adding the 4 pd. 11 oz infants to their family.  The couple also has a 6-year-old son, a 29-year-old daughter and a 33-year-old son.

Birnbaum broke the American age record for twins, previously held by a woman in her late 50s, but she is roughly 7 years younger than the oldest woman to have twins. That record is held by Maria del Carmen Bousada Lara, a Spaniard who had twin boys in December 2006, just days before her 67th birthday.
