Grace Marques, Baby, Shares February 13 Birthday With Mom And Dad

Kelly Marques gave birth on her birthday, February 13th. Her husband, Daniel, was also born February 13th. So now all three -- mom, dad and baby -- share the same birthday.

WNDU, in the family's home state of Indiana reports that Kelly was due well before the couple's shared birthday, so they didn't think their baby, named Grace Marie, would arrive on the 13th. "I always said that she will never be 9 days late," Kelly said.

Apparently no one said it loudly enough to get the message to Grace Marie.

"It was great enough to celebrate our own birthday," Daniel Marques added. "Then when she came out and we could hear her crying, it was the best present anyone could ever have," he said.

And just in time for Valentine's Day. There was "a whole lot of love," Daniel said.

The Marques' birthday coincidence is certainly one in a million (give or take a few). Click through this slideshow of other “what-are-the-chances?" birthday wonders:

Barbie Soper of Rockford, Michigan first gave birth on August 8, 2008 -- her actual due date that time around. The second time, labor was induced ahead of her September 20th due date -- on September 9, 2009. The following year, her third child was supposed to be born on or about November 4 but arrived early, on October 10, 2010. The Sopers insist that this crazy pattern -- said to be at the odds of 50 million to one -- was not planned.

My husband was born on the 13th, our daughter and son were born on the 13th and our son-in-law was born on the 13th. I was born on the 25th and our daughter-in-law was born on the 25th. We have no problem remembering birthday dates in our family. :)
