Can you believe it? Little Lucy Marie Perkins shares her birthday with not just one, but both of her parents! This incredible tale is no ordinary occurrence; in fact, it only happens once in every 48 million births! Join us as we dive into the heartwarming story of the Perkins family and their extraordinary day.
Caitlin and Tom Perkins, an exceptional couple in their own right, were both born on August 16, 1986. Little did they know that their daughter, Lucy, had her own plans to join in on the birthday fun, 30 years later.
Dr. Brad Robinson, Caitlin’s obstetrician, couldn’t contain his excitement as he shared this unbelievable story on his Facebook page: “Hold on tight! You won’t believe this story! Can you guess who else has a birthday on August 16th now? YEP. Lucy was born yesterday, on the same day as her parents, after a spontaneous labor!”
Yes, you heard it right! Lucy not only shares her birthday with her parents but also becomes a part of this extraordinary one-in-48-million occurrence. It’s a truly rare and special event indeed!
Lucy’s entrance into the world was delayed by over a week after her due date. She couldn’t wait for Caitlin and Tom to attend their joint 30th birthday dinner – she had her own plans!
In the early hours of Tuesday morning, Caitlin went into labor and was swiftly taken to Greenslopes Private Hospital in Brisbane. Despite Caitlin’s initial disbelief when her waters broke, little Lucy was in a hurry and arrived at 39 weeks, weighing a healthy 3.3kg.
For Dr. Robinson, who has witnessed countless births throughout his career, this day stood out as one of the most memorable. “I’m lucky to have a job where I experience special moments every day, but yesterday was truly incredible,” he shared.
Imagine receiving a call at 2:15 a.m. from the midwife, notifying you that your patient’s waters have broken, and it turns out to be the most delightful news. Dr. Robinson couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed with joy, as he had been hoping for this remarkable moment.
This fascinating story leaves us in awe. It reminds us that life is full of surprises, and the bond between parents and their children can be truly special. Every year on August 16th, the Perkins family will host a spectacular party to celebrate their shared birthday.
So let’s raise a toast to Lucy Perkins, the little girl who has captured the hearts of doctors worldwide, and her incredible parents who now share more than just their love – they share a very unique birthday!
