Some things are just total coincidence. Pure serendipity. Absolutely meant to be. Or just straight lucky. And for one Missouri baby – it all revolves around the numbers ‘7’ and ’11.’
J’Aime Brown was recently born on July 11th, at 7:11 pm, weighing in at exactly 7 pounds and 11 ounces.
J’Aime’s parents, Rachel Langford and Johntez Brown, were completely blown away by the extreme coincidence. They even told CNN that it was so crazy they felt that they had to tell the convenience store chain about the situation.
One week after the little girl was born, 7-Eleven officials had caught wind about the coincidental event and they announced that they wanted to start a college fund for the baby girl.
7-Eleven decided it was only right to start J’Aime off with a college fund in the amount of $7,111.
“After catching wind of the incredible news, 7-Eleven decided to pledge $7,111 to the newborn’s college fund to honor her entry to the world,” 7-Eleven told USA Today.
But, the money wasn’t the only thing they were going to give the Brown and Langston family. They also provided some 7-Eleven-themed baby essentials.
“Along with this pledge, the brand has also provided the family with diapers, 7-Eleven onesies and other newborn goodies to help her parents along the way,” the officials added.
What’s even more strange about the baby’s ties to the numbers ‘7’ and ’11’ is that Rachel had seen the numbers often throughout her pregnancy but never gave it a second thought.
“I thought it was weird at first, and I didn’t know that (the numbers) meant so much,” she told CNN. “A lot of the times (during the pregnancy) I would look at the clock and it was 7:11.”
Rached and Johntez shared beautiful pictures of little J’Aime on Facebook and admits that she was a bit freaked out by the coincidence at first, but now calls her “lady lucky.”
“Look at my star baby she on the news already love you baby,” and, “Look at my baby on tv already #Greatness.”
One thing we want to know, however, is – will J’Aime get free Slurpees for life?
