LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Joan Lunden says she feels guilty about not suffering from morning sickness, but at age 52, the former co-host of "Good Morning America" is ready to begin the rigors of motherhood all over again -- in duplicate.
After trying without success to start a new family the conventional way, Lunden said she and her husband of four years, businessman Jeff Konigsberg, are expecting twins -- a boy and a girl -- to be delivered in June by a surrogate mother.
"Jeff and I have been talking about having children together since we began dating," Lunden said in a statement issued by her publicist. "Last fall, we decided that our best chance to have children would be to find a surrogate to carry them.
