The world will never forget the September 11 terrorist attacks. Eighteen years ago on Sept. 11, 2,977 were killed when hijackers flew planes they had seized and crashed them into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, Pentagon Building in Washington, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

As people all over the world paused to remember this day, which “still hurts,” Mississippi mom Cametrione Malone-Brown went to deliver her baby girl via cesarean section at Methodist Le Bonheur Germantown Hospital in Germantown, Tennessee, on Sept. 11, 2019.

“My due date was actually September 24 and my c-section was actually scheduled for the 19th,” mom Malone-Brown said, according to KTVU. “I came in on Wednesday because of contractions and I guess I was in labor because my doctor went ahead and performed my c-section.”

Amazingly, her daughter, named Christina Malone-Brown, made history by being born on Sept. 11, 2019, at 9:11 p.m.

Coincidentally, little Christina came into the world weighing exactly 9 pounds and 11 ounces (approx. 4.4 kg)!

“Time was just rolling,” dad Justin Brown told WREG, alluding to the extraordinary birth. “Then all of a sudden, we heard the ‘wah!’ and next thing you know, they called it 9:11 and then they got on the table and they were like, ‘Oh my gosh! She weighs 9/11!’”

The significance and spooky yet unbelievable coincidence of baby Christina’s birth left the doctors, hospital staff, and many people stunned.

The doctor was so excited that she kept saying “Oh my goodness, I’ve got a 9/11, 9/11, 9/11” while stitching Malone-Brown up, the Commercial Appeal reported.

“Everybody was saying we should go play the lottery,” joked Brown.

Patient care coordinator Rachel Laughlin said: “Oh, I’ve never seen it in 38 years. It’s very rare but very special. It just makes her an even more special little girl than she already is.”

Methodist Healthcare took to Facebook to post a photo of cute baby Christina donning a blue headband with wires connected to her torso.

Talking about her 9-pound-11-ounce baby born on 9/11 at 9:11 p.m., mom Malone-Brown said, according to the Facebook post: “...we had emotions and we felt it.

“Then 18 years later on that day 9/11, you find triumph; you find a piece of joy from a day that was so drastic and still hurts,” she added.

Whilst Brown told WREG he “can’t wait to bring the new addition to the house.”

Baby Christina is in good condition despite needing extra oxygen as a result of minor lung issues. She will return home to join her older siblings, aged 13, 10, and 9, in a few days’ time, as per media reports.

Christina’s birthday will be truly special as she learns about the tragic event that happened on this day years ago.

Little Christina is not the only baby born with matching and significance numbers.

Parents Rachel Landford and Johntez Brown welcomed the arrival of their baby girl, named J’aime Brown, at St. Mary’s Hospital in St. Louis on July 11, 2019, at 7:11 p.m., weighing 7 pounds, 11 ounces (approx. 3.5 kg).

International chain of convenience stores 7-Eleven caught wind of the news and tweeted: “No other way to celebrate a one-in-a-million 7-Eleven baby! Welcome to the world, J’aime Brown! She truly is our #LadyLucky.”

To honor the birth of their “Lady Lucky,” 7-Eleven is gifting $7,111 to the newborn’s college fund.

“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,” 7-Eleven spokeswoman Gaby Harris told USA Today.

Warmest congratulations to both families on the birth of your unique baby girls!
