Baby born at 9:09 on 9/9/09

LA CROSSE, Wis. – No doubt. The nines have it. Chuck Berendes of La Crosse said he will never forget the birthday of this third child, born Wednesday on the ninth day of the nine month in the year 2009. Nor will Berendes and his wife, Polly, forget Henry Michael's arrival time — at 9:09 a.m. by Cesarean section at Franciscan Skemp Medical Center in La Crosse.

But they got the biggest laugh when the newborn was placed on the delivery room scale following his birth. Berendes said it was metric scale so the doctor did the math in his head, but to make sure, he had the nurse also do the conversion. Berendes said they broke into laughter when the nurse told them Henry weighed 9 pounds, 9 ounces.

We found out my wife was pregnant with our son on 6/06/06. We then went to see The Omen remake. He was born at 6 pounds 6 oz. And my son is the Anti-Christ. True story. Well, some of it is. :D

There are over 300,000 babies born each day so thousands of live births occurred on 9/09/09. And the baby was delivered caesarean so the exact time of 9:09 is not particularly credible; it was likely within 15 minutes or so of 9:09 a.m. and not on the minute. Tweaking the time makes for a cooler story though. About 10% of newborns are born over 8 pounds, so 9 pounds is definitely on the big side, but not particularly unusual.
I think the odds were relatively good.

I know. I almost deleted my post...
:sorry1:

It would've been really cool if the kid were born at 9:99 a.m. That'd be really weird.

Hahaha, pick up your book and come back! How would LaVey feel about you storming out like a 2 year old? Wouldn't be very proud now would he?

Your story about RATS was very compelling!

The odds are 1 in 1440. Assuming Nepenthe's statistic of 300,000 babies born a day is correct, and births are evenly spaced throughout the day, 208 babies would have been born at 9:09 on 09/09/2009. You can probably also assume that parents of babies born at 9:08 or 9:10 will say "9:09!" just because it sounds interesting. So that means about 624 babies.

Me, I was born on 11/11 at

So what's Alceste's comic book villain name now? Hm?
:p


The estimates of daily births range from 200,000 to 300,000.

I have a friend who was born on 7-7-77. I'll have to ask her what time she was born and how much she weighed. :)
