Quote : | "Couple's 3 Children All Born on October 2
Posted: Today at 4:54 p.m.
MARYSVILLE, Ohio — It won't take much for Jenna and William Cotton to remember the birthday of the newest member of their family. Daughter Kayla was born Tuesday, which was October 2 - the same date her brothers were born on.
Ayden Cotton arrived on October 2, 2003; Logan was born October 2, 2006.
Based on that history, the parents said they had a feeling their baby daughter would come a couple of days past her September 30 due date. Sure enough, Jenna Cotton, 23, began having contractions early Tuesday, hours before a planned birthday party for the boys.
She had a doctor's appointment scheduled later in the day and hung in for the party. Ayden, the 4-year-old, wanted to know if his new baby sister would make the festivities, Jenna Cotton said.
"He has been really excited about her coming," she said. "He kept asking when she was going to come out."
He wouldn't have to wait long. His mother's doctor sent her to a hospital, where 7-pound, 8-ounce Kayla was born at 7:07 p.m. Tuesday.
The odds of a family having three children born on the same date in different years are about 7.5 in 1 million, said Bill Notz, a statistics professor at Ohio State University.
The Cottons don't plan to roll the dice on a fourth October 2 baby, saying that's it for them, as far as having children.
Marysville is about 30 miles northwest of Columbus." |

That's sarcasm right? I mean there's 365.25 days in a year and 6+ billion people on this world. Many of those are in multi-children families I imagine. Odds seem pretty good that something like this will happen every now and then.10/4/2007 10:40:37 PM |

My mom was married twice.
She had my brother with her first husband when she was 20. After 15 or so years of marriage, her first husband died in a horseback riding accident. Then she married my dad and had me and my younger brother at 38 and 40.
But yeah, my older bro and I shared a birthday cake until he graduated from college.
