If you're the type to believe in lucky numbers, then this story out of St. Louis, Missouri, might be right up your alley. On July 11, new parents Rachel and Johntez Langford welcomed a healthy baby girl into the world. But here's the kicker: When nurses took note of the time of birth, and the baby's weight, a few numbers seemed to keep appearing: 7 and 11.
According to her birth certificate, little J'Aime Langford was born on 7/11, at 7:11 p.m., and weighed in at 7 pounds 11 ounces.
Yes, really.
Kind of incredible, right? Except there's more.
Throughout her pregnancy, Rachel Langford says she for some reason kept seeing the numbers 7 and 11 pop up at random moments.
"A lot of the times [during the pregnancy] I would look at the clock and it was 7:11," she told CNN. "I thought it was weird at first, and I didn't know that [the numbers] meant so much."
But oh, how it did.
The remarkable coincidence immediately prompted her dad to give her a nickname when he shared a photo of her on Facebook: Lady Lucky.
But the 7/11 theme also has added significance.
Fans of the convenience store might remember that July 11 is actually known nationally as "7-Eleven Day."
Each year, the chain celebrates with specials on its signature items, such as the famous Slurpee. Rachel said while she hasn't reached out to anyone at 7-Eleven yet about the coincidence, she plans to.
Here's hoping little J'Aime has a free Birthday Slurpee in her future!
