“It is so awesome, it’s was like, ‘Oh my goodness, I’ve got TWO in here!’ ” Cook told WAFF News. “And then we kept looking at the ultrasounds, and my husband kept taking pictures.”

On Sunday, one month before her due date, Cook delivered the fraternal twins, both weighing 5 lbs., via C-section.

“Isaac came out first and Isaiah came out second,” she says. “I cried. It was joy.”

“Everything changed just in that moment when they were born. Your life changes.”

Cook met her husband ten years ago at Church, and credits their faith for getting them through the process of trying to conceive.
