This baby was born on 7-Eleven Day at 7:11 pm, weighing 7 pounds and 11 ounces
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."
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.
7-Eleven baby: Convenience store gives baby born on 7-11 a $7,111 college fund
Rachel Langford's phone has been ringing nonstop since 7-11, when she gave birth to a girl at 7:11 pm, weighing 7 pounds and 11 ounces.
But the most exciting call came from 7-Eleven, which celebrated the news of J'Aime Brown's birth by pledging $7,111 to her college fund.
The convenience store chain previously had called to offer a gift basket with diapers and other merchandise, Langford said. The additional pledge was totally unexpected.
When a company representative asked if she was interested, Langford's answer was a resounding yes.
"I was completely shocked," she told CNN. "I kind of just freaked out."
A representative for 7-Eleven confirmed to CNN that the company has pledged the money for J'Amie's college fund, as well as onesies, diapers and other gifts.
The young St. Louis family has been in the spotlight since Langford gave birth on 7-Eleven Day, a company holiday marked each year with free Slurpees.
They've enjoyed the attention, but Langford says she's mainly focused on her family.
In addition to J'Aime, Langford has a 6-year-old son. She says it's not easy juggling bills and providing for her children.
"It's hard for anybody to even get a trust fund for their children," she said. "To get a blessing like that, it just helps a lot."
J'Aime, for her part, appears to be basking in the limelight. She mostly eats and sleeps -- no whining, says Langford.
"Since the baby's been here, strangely, we've been calm, getting more stuff done," she said. "We've been feeling really good."

What a nice gesture.

I have a feeling the baby was actually born at 7:12 or weighted 7 pounds and 10 ounces or something like that. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
