Parents Call Miracle Baby Born on "Twosday," 2/22/22 at 2:22 a.m. an 'Answered Prayer'

A miracle baby girl was born on 2/22/22 in a labor and delivery room no. 2 to first-time parents Aberli and Hank Spear who called their child an "answered prayer."

On top of being born on the day that palindrome fans are celebrating, the child, Judah Grace, was recorded at 2:22 a.m. at Cone Health Alamance Regional Medical Center. Doctors noted that the baby girl weighed in at seven pounds, 10 ounces, equivalent to a total of 122 ounces.

Miracle Baby

Grace was considered to be a miracle baby not just because of her birth on the special day and time, but also because doctors told the parents that they may not be able to have children. Aberli was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2014 and went through treatment in 2020, giving her the all-clear.

During an interview, Aberli revealed that the couple had decided to go to the egg-freezing clinic but reversed at the last minute because of how expensive it was. She noted that they hoped and prayed that they could have kids on their own, as per Oregon Live.

The couple expected to have their baby on Feb. 22 but did not actually think that Grace would be born on the palindrome date. Aberli arrived at the hospital on Feb. 20 for induction and was in labor for 26 hours, causing her daughter to be born on the due date.

Aberli and her husband were initially put in room No. 3 after they got into the labor and delivery room. However, due to technical issues with the monitors, the hospital moved them to room No. 2. Hank expressed his excitement when he turned to his mother-in-law and said, "you know, it would be kind of crazy if she waited another two hours."

According to Fox13 News, Grace was able to wait for the time and was born at the coincidental time of the palindrome date, which Hank described as "all God's timing." Everyone in the delivery room cheered when the baby girl was finally born as they were aware of how special the child's birth was.

Special Twosday

Aberli recalled that everyone in the room knew what was happening but said she herself was too focused on trying to breathe properly to join the cheers. Grace joins a number of babies born on special dates and times, including one in 2019 where a Tennessee child was born on 9/11 at 9:11 p.m and was recorded at nine pounds, 11 ounces.

In 2021, a baby boy was born at a Central Florida hospital at 3:21 p.m. on 3/21 in the 321 area code. A set of twins in California were born only 15 minutes apart but because of their unique timing, they were born on different days, months, and years. The first, Alfredo Antonio Trujillo, was delivered at 11L45 p.m. on Dec. 31, 2021 while his twin sister, Aylin Yolanda Trujillo, was born at midnight on Jan. 1, 2022.

The last time the rare 2/22/22, or what others call "Twosday," happened was in 1622, and the National Weather Service said that the next time will happen in 2422, four centuries from now, People reported.
