The birth story of Lucy Marie Perkins is not simply amazing. It’s not simply unlikely. One out of every 48 million people has it.
Caitlin and Tom Perkins welcomed Lucy, their first child, into the world on Tuesday night.
Tom and Caitlin, a husband and wife who were both born on August 16, 1986, are both amazing persons in their own right.
Little Perkins, however, seemed to think that celebrating his birthday with his parents wasn’t enough because he wanted to join in the celebration 30 years later.
“HOLD ON TO THE TELEPHONE!” You won’t believe this story, Caitlin’s obstetrician Dr. Brad Robinson said on his Facebook page on Wednesday.
“Can you guess who else has a birthday on August 16th right now?” YEP. Following SPONTANEOUS labor, Lucy was born yesterday, on the same day as her parents.
Ah, yes. There is a one in 48 million chance that the baby, the parents, and the mother will share the same birthday.
Right on schedule, right on schedule, right on schedule This occurred more than a week after Mum should have given birth.
Before Caitlin and Tom, who are from Dirranbandi in South West Queensland, could even attend their joint 30th birthday dinner, Lucy decided it was time to enter the world.
Early on Tuesday morning, Caitlin went into labor and was sent to Brisbane’s Greenslopes Private Hospital.
She said, “When my waters broke, I said, ‘No way,’ because I was in denial.
Bub, however, was impatient and arrived on Tuesday at 39 weeks and 6:45 p.m., weighing a healthy 3.3kg.
It was one of the most remarkable days of Dr. Robinson’s life, who has worked in the field for more than ten years.
He remarked, “Today was fantastic, but I’m fortunate enough to have a career where I get exceptional days on special days.
It’s not every day that you’re happy to be awakened by the phone at 2:15 in the morning. However, about 2:15 a.m., the midwife called to let me know that Caitlin had broken her waters. I was ecstatic because I had been pushing for it.
Wow.
Every year on August 16, the Perkins will throw a great party, that much is guaranteed.
