67 Year Mom Of Twins Diagnosed With a Serious Illness


After becoming the world’s oldest mother at the age of 66, Carmen Bousada brushed off criticism saying she was as fit as she’d ever been.

It has now been revealed, just three weeks before her babies their first birthday, that her health has taken a severe turn for the worse.

Yesterday she told a Spanish television show was being treated for “a very serious illness”, believed to be cancer.

She would not reveal what it was but added: “It is one which is fashionable at the moment.”

Some observers said this suggested either breast cancer or intestinal cancer.

She added: “I am having treatment and that, but I’m well. The little ones are beautiful, very chubby, very big.

“I have a girl who helps me look after the children. I am always there for them. I always have help.”

She said if she dies the children will be looked after by her nephew or their godfather, whom she did not name.

She added: “They are not going to be alone. But come on, I’m not thinking at the moment that I’m going to (die).”

The retired shop worker, now 67, has never married and has no partner, which raises concern about the babies welfare if something were to happen to her.

Carmen, who comes from Spain, travelled to the US, where she lied about her age – saying that she was 55 – to receive IVF treatment at the Pacific Fertility Center in Los Angeles.

The issue I will always have with this is that there is no way that a woman at this age can keep up with these babies. Heck, my one child keeps me on my feet.

It also frustrates me to think that these little boys will probably never have a parent at their wedding, graduation or possibly first day of school.

We wish Carmen the best health and hope that she can get better and stronger for these kids.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Is Looking For Some Sleep


New mom Elisabeth Hasselbeck has recently admitted in her dreft blog that she lives in her pajamas now that Taylor Thomas has arrived.

It wasn’t until her first child, Grace asked “Mommy why are you still in your p.j.’s?” that she realized she had been in the same outfit for nearly three weeks.

She has also learned quickly that some creative parenting will help save a bit of her sanity.

Grace normally needs someone to be with her while she goes to sleep at nap time and nighttime. On this occasion, Taylor also needed his mommy, which prompted Elisabeth to set up a table for Grace to make a “Sleep Chart” for Santa.

It is by the phone they ‘use to call Santa and tell him what a good job she has done’. She goes on to say:

I told her that Santa sees her everyday, and knows that she is a big sister now and that she can sleep in her bed all by herself. I told her that Santa also knows that she has so much courage that God gave her, and that she can remember her courage if she gets afraid. Every time she sleeps like a big girl, I added, we could add a Christmas decoration to the chart. She nodded along, still suspicious, I could tell. So- I resorted to pure bribery.

“AND IF YOU SLEEP LIKE A BIG GIRL, WE WILL GO TO THE TOY STORE AND YOU CAN PICK ANY TOY YOU WANT.”

“Okay,” she said, finally convinced.

I am not going to lie. I was desperate. After some tears, and a lot of stalling…then more tears…she DID IT. Yes, I was “that parent”. Yes I gave in to the commercial world. But it worked. After three long, hard days, she is excited to wake up in her own room, add to her chart… and loves her Princess Backpack with lip-gloss!!

I personally believe that a little bribery is OK when you think that it will help you move past an issue and I still have days when I don’t get out of my jammies.
