Baby's unusual birthday

A US couple have beaten huge odds to have three children with unusual birthdays.

Barbie and Chad Soper recently celebrated the birth of their youngest daughter, who they welcomed into the world on October 10 (10.10.10) at the Spectrum hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan, America.

However, this follows the birth of son Cameron on September 9, 2009 (09.09.09) and eldest daughter Chloey on August 8, 2008 (08.08.08).

Barbie said: "Lucky numbers. We must live in a house of lucky numbers our old owners did win the lotto."

Asked if they planned to extend their brood with another child on November 11, 2011, she added: "Oh goodness no, we will be enjoying the three that we have."
