Ark. baby born 9-9-09 has sibling born on 8-8-08


FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) - At least it will be easy to remember their birthdays. An Arkansas couple welcomed a new baby girl into their lives Wednesday _ giving her the birthdate of 9-9-09. Andy and Alison Miller's newest daughter Molly Reid will come home to sister Campbell, who was born on August 8, 2008, or 8-8-08.

The coincidences don't stop there. Molly Reid has nine letters to her name, while Campbell has eight.

The Millers don't appear poised to go for a third child on 10-10-10.

Alison Miller tells Rogers, Ark. television station KHOG that she and her husband are going to take a rest.

With the appropriate family planning and the ability to either induce labor or perform a C-section, the odds aren't as outrageous as would first appear.
Here's one that happened last Wednesday in my home town: Baby born on 9:09 AM on 9/9/09 weighs in at 9 lb 9 oz.
It even got picked up by the Today Show and posted on MSNBC online.
And to top it off, he's not alone — an identical birth occurred in Grand Junction, CO.
Now, even allowing for delivery by C-section, what are the odds of *THAT* — date, time and weight — matching up; and not just once, but twice??

Three of my four kids, and two of my brother's four were born on the 22nd--of five different months.
My daughter who wasn't born on the 22nd chose 10-10 to make her appearance.
(and one daughter's birthday is usually Canadian Thanksgiving, while another's is American Thanksgiving).

My daughter Kendall 's due date was 9-9-09, when we were originally found out we thought it would be very cool to have her born that date. But in the end we are very happy to have met her 3 weeks early.

My husband & I were both born on the 25th (different months).
My Mother & her brother were born on the 22nd - same month, and my son was also born on the 22nd (different month).
