Call it baby synchronicity.
Chad and Barbie Soper from Rockford, Mich., had a baby daughter, Cearra, on Oct. 10 -- 10/10/10.
That's a cool birth date, but what makes it even cooler is that the Sopers' second child, son Cameron, was born on 9/9/09.
Not impressed by the numerological alignment? Well, perhaps you should consider that the couple's firstborn, Chloe, arrived on 8/8/08.
The odds of having three children with sequential, symmetrical birth dates must be sky high, but it turns out the Sopers weren't leaving the arrival dates of Cearra and Chloe to chance. Because Barbie Soper had some health problems, labor was induced for both daughters' births, meaning their birthdays were chosen, The Grand Rapids Press reported.
There is this window we had. We definitely had the option to shoot for that day [Oct. 10] and did, Dr. Andrew Van Slooten, Barbie Soper's obstetrician, told the newspaper. But it wasn't like delivering her three weeks early just to hit that date.
Will the couple be aiming for another baby on 11/11/11?
Definitely no, Barbie Soper said.
