Guess their new lucky number
'A stitch in time saves nine.' One of Beethoven's best
symphonies was his ninth. There are nine innings in a
baseball game, nine months for a pregnancy, and getting
something correct nine times out of ten is pretty good.
So for Brian and Jennifer Watson of Athens, having a
baby born on September 9, 2009 would be special. But
they went nine steps past that. Their son Brock Steven
Watson was born nine hours, nine minutes, and nine seconds
into the ninth day of the ninth month of 2009 at Battle
Creek Health System's Family Birth Center.
Their baby was 19" in length and was two pounds
shy of 9 pounds.
How does the Watson family feel about this special numerical
event? They are on 'cloud nine.'

 Nine is a new lucky number for an Athens
family. Brock Steven, son of Jennifer and Brian Watson,
was born on 09.09.09 at 9:09 a.m. at Battle Creek Health
System's Family Birth Center. Older brother Joshua, joins
his mom and dad in the hospital's birthing suite to welcome
his new brother to the world.
