FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — At least it will be easy to remember their birthdays.

An Arkansas couple welcomed a new baby girl into their lives Wednesday — giving her the birthdate of 9-9-09. Andy and Alison Miller’s newest daughter Molly Reid will come home to sister Campbell, who was born on August 8, 2008, or 8-8-08.

The Millers don’t appear poised to go for a third child on 10-10-10.

Baby born on 09/09/09 at 9:09 AM weighing 9 lb 9 oz
A La Crosse couple welcomed their third child into the world on Thursday — with the number 9 as a common theme!

For one set of parents, 9 just might be their lucky number!

And you can be sure they’ll never forget the birth of their third child.

Little Henry Michael Berendes is just one day old.

Little does he know just how special his birth day — 09/09/09 — really was!

“He was born right about 9:09 a.m. and then when they put him on the scale after he was born he just happened to weigh 9 pounds 9 ounces which is just crazy because you can kind of plan the time, but not the weight of a newborn,” said mom, Polly.

Polly says doctors at Franciscan Skemp Medical Center in La Crosse planned a C-section at 9 a.m. on September 9th. But, she and her husband, Chuck, never expected things to turn out like they did.

“This is just unbelievable! The doctor and the nurses have just been joking and smiling about it. It’s just a crazy coincidence,” she smiled.

Polly says all she wanted was a healthy baby and adds she never expected her baby boy would get all this attention.

“I’ve had several people ask me if he is a lucky baby. I am not sure about it yet, but he is definitely a blessing so far.”

The Barendes’ already have a 2-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son and are excited to face the challenges of having three kids.

“They’re great,” Polly said. “They were here already a couple times (Thursday) and (Wednesday) and they just love him already so it’s challenging but good. I think it makes our lives richer.”

But, Polly says this lucky little baby just might be her last. Although, “you never know,” she said. “Sometimes you think you’re in control but you not and all of a sudden a long comes a Henry and it’s just like I said a blessing and a true miracle.”

Polly says Chuck wants to try to have another baby on October 10th of 2010, but she says she’s not so sure!
