51-year-old mother acts as a surrogate for her daughter, gives birth to her own granddaughter
A woman in Illinois pulled double duty when she gave birth earlier this month. Julie Loving, who is seen above with her daughter and son-in-law, is also the babyโs grandmother. She was a gestational surrogate for her daughter, Breanna Lockwood, who was told by doctors that she can not have children. Julie gave birth while she was... wait for it... 51-years-old. Doctors used hormone therapy to take her out of menopause, so she could carry the baby.
One-of-a-kind portrait stolen from Murray Hill woman
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. โ A Murray Hill woman is pleading for the return of a large, one-of-a-kind portrait of her grandmother that was stolen after it was delivered to her front door. The nearly 80-year-old oil painting of Florence Acker was passed down to her granddaughter, Jenny Acker, who had made plans to display it next to her grandfatherโs portrait. The portrait was created in Japan, where Jenny Ackerโs grandmother and grandfather, Albert Acker, were living after World War II. Jenny Acker already had a portrait of her grandfather, which was painted by the same artist, and had planned to display her grandmotherโs portrait next to her grandfatherโs portrait. Like, whoa, this actually happened -- something so sentimental," Jenny Acker said.
