Bishop's Storfort resident Daniel Saunders has a special connection to the number 11. It is sufficient to note that he was born at 11:11 a.m. on November 11, 2011, the eleventh day of the eleventh month, and that he recently turned eleven.
"I had been eagerly anticipating this birthday! I've never had a birthday that was this thrilling," the young youngster added. According to numerology, "Eleven is a master number, and it means that you will find many good opportunities in the future," Daniel told the Daily Star.
"It's simple to remember, and this is my lucky number. My birthday is never forgotten," he continued.
The baby's birth was made all the more unusual by the fact that his mother, Charlotte, now 41, claims that 11 was also her lucky number in elementary school.
Charlotte was informed that Daniel was not in a good position when he was due on November 17, 2011. Her movement was attempted by the medical professionals, but they were unsuccessful, thus a caesarean section was planned for November 11.
It took longer than anticipated for the surgeons to remove the baby since it was under Charlotte's ribs on the day of Daniel's delivery.
We had to wait till they called us in after arriving at six in the morning. If it hadn't gotten trapped beneath my ribcage and taken some time to emerge, it would have done so sooner. The fact that he was born on the eleventh is incredible. Since I was a young child, this has been my lucky number," the boy's mother stated.
"This is fantastic! A day to remember. We never would have imagined that he would be born in 2011, in the 11th month, at 11:11 a.m. The kid's father, Jason, 42, believes that the boy was clinging on to his mother's ribs so that the number 11 could have an impact even though the doctor claimed there was little chance he would be delivered at 11:11.
