MARYSVILLE, Ohio - It won't take much for Jenna and William Cotton to remember the birthday of the newest member of their family.


Daughter Kayla was born Tuesday, which was Oct. 2 — the same date her brothers were born.

Ayden Cotton arrived on Oct. 2, 2003; Logan was born Oct. 2, 2006.

The parents said they had a feeling their baby daughter might come a couple of days past her Sept. 30 due date. Sure enough, Jenna Cotton, 23, began having contractions early Tuesday, hours before a planned birthday party for the boys.

She had a doctor's appointment scheduled later in the day and hung in for the party. Ayden, the 4-year-old, wanted to know if his new baby sister would make the festivities, Jenna Cotton said.

Kayla, at 7-pounds, 8-ounces, was born at 7:07 p.m. Tuesday.

The odds of a family having three children born on the same date in different years are about 7.5 in 1 million, said Bill Notz, a statistics professor at Ohio State University.

Thats pretty neat. Now they can all celabrate there birthdays the same day...:D

Births like this only happen in the Twilight Zone :lol: Which also happens to be the same day the show debuted albeit in 1959. :)

That's cool. That be nice if she had all the kids at once on the same Day Oct. 2nd.. :lol: I'd be exhausted if that ever happend to me.:lol: :lol:

Go figure. :lol: Congrats to this family.

Of course Oct 2nd is also my birthday so there's won't be hard to remember. :) My brother is 2 years younger than me and he was born on Oct 1st so we came close to being born on the same day.

that's pretty cool..my mom's birthday is today Oct. 5th so that's close lol

Thats really unusual to have 3 children born on the same day. The birthday celebration must be huge at their house.

That doesn't surprise me too much. My godparents (and also good friends with my parents) have 4 kids and their 2 oldest were both born on the same day- their daughter on Oct. 3, 1980 and their son on Oct 3, 1982. It would've been really weird if their 2 youngest were also born then but they have different birthdays.

One of the ladies at my church has two sons - one was born on September 9, 1986 and the other on September 9, 2001. These are her only kids so I'm sure it makes remembering their birthdays all that much easier!! :rofl:

My cousin had two of her children born on the same day (september 30) and now she's having another one which was supossed to be born on the 30th but it was born about two days ago (just a little off ;))
