Baby born at 8:08 on 8/08/08
Categories: Newborns, In The News, Weird But True
Not only were all the eights aligned for the date of little Hailey Jo Hauer's birth yesterday, she also hit the eights on the scale. Yep, Lindsay and Joe Hauer's baby girl was born on 8/8/08 at 8:08 am and weighed in at exactly 8 pounds, 8 ounces!
She completely missed the eights in length, but not for lack of trying on the part of Nurse Jenny Harstad, who joked that she tried to shrink Hailey Jo down to 18 inches from her actual 19.5 inches.
The odds against this happening have got to be astronomical, right? The staff at Lake Region Hospital in Fergus Falls, Minnesota think so. After realizing that Hailey had hit the trifecta of eights, several of them decided it might a good day to buy a lottery ticket.
Congratulations to the Hauer family!

Wow!!!
I never thought I'd see a post about this on here, and of all things I missed it until now.
My son was actually born in 2000, BUT...
He turned 8 on 08/08/08 and was born at 8:00PM
And even weirder, my best friend just had a baby on 08/08/08.
Awesome timing eh!?
