Laila Fitzgerald is only two days old, but she already has some awesome trivia attached to her name.
The Des Moines, Iowa baby was born weighing 8 pounds, 9 ounces on Oct. 11, 2012 at 1:14 p.m. -- or 1314 military time.
That's 8-9-10-11-12-13-14.
Her mother, 26-year-old Katie Deremiah, told the Des Moines Register she had a feeling Thursday was the day, even though her due date wasn't until Oct. 19. The birth was natural, with no inducements to speed things up, the newspaper reported.
Laila's dad, 26-year-old Ryan Fitzgerald, said his father had mentioned the military time possibility that morning. A nurse noted it that way right after the baby was born, keeping with the hospital's standard practice for recording time. Finally, there was the birth weight.
The family seems to have a flair for numbers, to say the least: Their son Jackson was born last year on Sept. 10 -- or 9/10/11.
