At Virtua Memorial in Mount Holly Friday afternoon, born at 11:11 am on 11-11-2011 was Jacob Anthony Saydeh at 8 lbs. 13 oz. to the proud parents, Danielle and USAF Staff Sargeant Chris Saydeh, a member of the Phoenix Raven Security Forces and his older brother Christopher age 7. The family reside on the grounds at Fort Dix, part of the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. - Source: Nancy Rokos/Staff Photographer, Burlington County Times
MOUNT HOLLY, N.J. (The Blaze/AP) — Jacob Anthony Saydeh won’t have any trouble remembering precisely when he was born.
Virtua Memorial hospital in Mount Holly, N.J., says Jacob entered the world at 11:11 a.m. on Friday — 11-11-11.
And to make the Veterans Day birth even more remarkable, the boy’s mother is an Air Force veteran and his father currently services in the Air Force.
It’s the second child for Staff Sgt. Christopher Saydeh and his wife, Danielle. They live at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, where he is a member of Air Force security forces. They are a third-generation military family.
Jacob weighed 8 pounds, 13 ounces.

Posted on November 11, 2011 at 11:34pmNo C-section:
“A Los Angeles couple welcomed a baby boy at 11:11 a.m. today at Glendale Memorial Hospital, the only baby born in the facility at the time to coincide with the date of 11-11-11.
Bayron Baez, 8 pounds and 30 ounces, was born naturally this morning, said Ryan K. Lee, the doctor who delivered the boy.
“It was kind of coincidental, a little bit of luck and it just happened to be at that time,” Lee said.
Lee said some patients requested that they deliver their baby on Friday.
Maria Dominguez, 32, and her husband, Fabian Baez, 34, said they were excited that their baby was born at a special time, but they didn’t think it had any special meaning.
Another birth was reported at a hospital in Northridge at the same time, but it was a C-section, according to the Glendale News-Press.”

BTW, was the clock time set correctly?

****
c-sections may be down to a science but the very nature of the delivery means there are soooo many variables that could be involved, and once they‘re started a dr doesn’t exactly stand there with a bleeding belly and half a delivery looking to his nurse with the watch to know WHEN TO ACTUALLY GO IN AND DO THE DELIVERY!!! Come on people! This is so much better than the dr starting his patients labor on tuesday night so he’ll be able to make wednesday morning tee-time like they did 40 yrs ago!
