7-Eleven Day typically means free Slurpees for everyone, but this year’s celebration turned out more special than usual for one Missouri family.
Rachel Langford of St. Louis gave birth to a baby girl on July 11—yes, 7/11.
That’s not all, baby J’Aime Brown was born at 7:11 pm, weighing seven pounds and 11 ounces.

Langford, who also has a six-year-old son, told CNN she kept on seeing the numbers 7 and 11 during her pregnancy, but didn’t think it meant anything.
“I thought it was weird at first, and I didn’t know that (the numbers) meant so much,” she said. “A lot of the times (during the pregnancy) I would look at the clock and it was 7:11.”
LUCKY BABY! J’Aime Brown came into the world July 11th at 7:11 pm — weighing 7 pounds, 11 ounces! Someone buy this little one a lottery ticket (at 7-Eleven, of course)! https://t.co/Wgr9K9iMgp pic.twitter.com/X1mAwpim0W

Although a bit “freaked out,” both mom and baby are doing well.
Langford says she even plans on telling the convenience store chain about the coincidence.
