911 Dispatcher Gives Birth at 9:11 p.m. on 9/11

by Tom Henderson (RSS feed) Sep 14th 2009 1:30PM

TaMara Sheppard of Tacoma, Wash., gave birth to her daughter at 9:11 p.m. on -- wait for it, wait for it -- 9/11.
Freaky? Oh, it gets better. The Tacoma News Tribune reports that Sheppard, a dispatcher out of Puyallup, Wash., went into labor around 7:30 p.m. and arrived at Puyallup's Good Samaritan Hospital around noon. Sheppard was scheduled to have labor induced on Monday, but baby Nina Morgan had other plans.
No, the baby was not 9 pounds, 11 ounces. She refused to take the coincidences quite that far.
Sheppard said she wasn't thinking about numbers when she was giving birth. "It never even crossed my mind until my husband said, 'You're a 911 dispatcher and you had a baby on 9/11 at 9:11,'" she told theNews Tribune.

The news story I saw said the baby did, in fact, weigh 9 lbs 11 oz.

I guess the parents figured nobody would believe that.
