| Tiffaney and Joshua Diles welcome son, Austin at 12:12 a.m. on 12/12/12 in Chillicothe, OH |
Chillicothe, Ohio: A very special delivery arrived at Adena Medical Center at a
special time and on a special date. Tuesday morning at 12:12 a.m.(local time), Tiffaney
and Joshua Diles of Chillicothe, Ohio welcomed their 8 pound, 6 ounce son
Austin Matthew, who was born on this last day of the century when all three
numerals in a date are the same.
With a December 14 due date, the parents arrived at the
hospital shortly before 8 a.m. on Tuesday.
The couple didn't think about having a 12/12/12 baby until about 8 p.m.
last night. According to Joshua,
"Tiffaney said, 'it would be cool if he held off until about Midnight, to
be born on 12/12/12 - it would be an easy birthday to remember.' And then next thing we knew it was 12
a.m."
Once they realized they had a healthy baby boy, along with
the significance of Austin being born at 12:12 a.m. on 12/12/12, they and their
labor team were elated.
"The nurses went crazy," said Tiffaney. "At that point I wasn't thinking about
that, I just wanted to get it done."
The number 12 has a great significance in many cultures. In
western tradition, it is commonly associated with completeness and seen as a
perfect and harmonious unit. The day has certainly been perfect for the Diles
family. Austin is the couple's first
child.
