Dion's Doc: Her New Baby Came From 8-Year-Old Frozen Egg

Celine Dion is pregnant again at the age of 41, and the child that she has conceived came from an embryo that she had frozen eight years ago, when her husband Reme Angelil was diagnosed with cancer. If you remember, that is how she got pregnant with her son Rene in 2001 by artificial insemination of a stored egg.

Celine's doctor, Dr. Zev Rosenwaks, tells People magazine that he performed the in vitro fertilization for Celine's pregnancy, and that when he informed her that the pregnancy had taken, he "could hear her chuckling" with joy. "She was very happy. So was René [Angelil, her husband]. They are both very thankful."

"She came back to have the embryos transferred back because she wanted to have another baby," Rosenwaks says. The doctor says that "there have been embryos that have been frozen for more than 10 years, and even more than 15 years, that have successfully thawed and resulted in a pregnancy," so the eight year time frame with Celine Dion was of no major concern.

Rosenwaks says Dion "is feeling well. So far, so good. I look forward to hearing the fetal heartbeat. Rene and Celine are both looking forward to pregnancy that is a healthy one."

What do you think of that?
And do you think that she will cut this child's hair??
