Grandma Gives Birth to Triplets
The Coseno family has a lot to be grateful for this Thanksgiving. Three new babies, all of them girls: Elizabeth, Carmina and Gabriella.
The triplets are now home from the hospital after being born prematurely. They'd been delivered via Caesarean section at Hillcrest Hospital, a Cleveland Clinic facility.
The triplet's grandmother, 56-year-old Jaci Dalenberg, gave birth to them. That's because Kim Coseno, Jaci's daughter, couldn't bear any more children after she'd had a hysterectomy.
Kim says doctors left one of her ovaries so she wouldn't go into menopause at a young age, and in case she wanted to have more children in the future.

TODAY'S BOOK SUGGESTION:
Grade A Baby Eggs: An Infertility Memoir
by Victoria Hopewell
-- Victoria Hopewell was a forty-something divorced clinical psychologist when she met and married a longtime bachelor whose ninety-year-old parents were anxiously waiting for a grandchild.
Problem was, even though Victoria had two young daughters from a previous marriage, her intense desire to create a baby with her new husband was thwarted by her own body.
Her eggs were aging faster than her healthy hormones and youthful appearance would suppose.
Desperate to bear a child, willing to undergo every procedure from Lupron shots through egg harvesting and in vitro fertilization (IVF), she is blocked at every corner of medical protocol from achieving her dream of a successful pregnancy.
Finally she journeys toward acceptance of using a donor egg, much to the dismay of her growing daughters.
But no eggs are available, and she is placed on a lengthy hospital wait-list. Victoria and her husband then embark on a surrealistic egg hunt to find their own donor.
Follow her insider's account of the hidden world of egg donation-where women's eggs are bought and sold over the internet and a beautiful model with high SATs and a prior successful donation commands the highest prices.
