They say that timing is everything, and newborn Van William Shephard is off to an auspicious start.
He was born at 4:56 p.m. on July, 8, 2009, at Sharp Grossmont Hospital in La Mesa. His parents were thrilled with their healthy, handsome bundle of joy, but they didn't immediately realize the significance of the timing.
"They pulled him out and said, 'Time of birth, 4:56 on 7/8. Oh, wait a second! 4,5,6,7,8,9!" explained new father Kenny Shepherd.
The numerological coincidence doesn't end there. Mother Jen Shepherd said little Van's birth weight was 7 pounds, 8 ounces. What are the odds?
"It's a fun, new adventure for us," the proud mother told Fox 5. "It's great that we have a fun date and all that stuff to look back on."
Van's due date was originally July 7, so Van's parents didn't think about it. Now they are now wondering if numbers will play a role in little Van's future.
"A CPA would not be too bad. Then he can support us when we get old," Kenny Shepherd said with a laugh.
As for baby 456789, the special birth date doesn't appear to have made much of an impression yet, his mother said.
"He's not interested in anything but sleeping." Jen Shepherd told Fox 5.
Expectant parents have at least one more interesting date to shoot for this year. Numerologists say Sept. 9 at 9:09 a.m. would also be a fine time to enter the world.
