Minn. Baby Born 8/8/08 At 8:08; 8 Pounds, 8 Ounces

Meet Hailey Jo Hauer, Born In Minn. On 8/8/08 At 8:08 And Weighing 8 Pounds, 8 Ounces

(AP)  Hailey Jo Hauer was born on the eighth day of the eighth month in 2008 at 8:08 a.m. So it wouldn't make sense for her to weigh anything other than 8 pounds, 8 ounces.

Lindsey Hauer thought staff at Lake Region Hospital in Minnesota were joking when they told her the time of her daughter's birth. Then she got a call from the birthing suite noting Hailey's weight.

Nurse Jenny Harstad joked that she tried to shrink the baby to 18 inches from her actual 19.5 inches.

Several hospital staff members pledged to buy lottery tickets.
