by The Oᴅᴅɪᴛʏ Sᴜʀᴠɪᴠᴏʀ Of A Miracle Baby At 2:22 Am On 2/22/22
22/02/2022 is doubly ʀᴀʀᴇ as the date is both a palindrome and an ambigram. One can read it the same way forward, backward, and upside down. If written in the British format 22//02/2022, the date becomes a palindrome and an ambigram, a pattern that is special and very ʀᴀʀᴇ.
This is one of those birth stories that will have you asking yourself, “What are the ᴏᴅᴅs?” Because at 2:22 a.m. on February 22, 2022 (2/22/22), “Twosday” baby Judah Grace Spear was born in North Carolina—and her parents are calling her their “ᴍɪʀᴀᴄʟᴇ baby.”
The “two-riffic” birth also occurred in the hospital’s labor and delivery room No. 2, according to a Facebook post shared by Cone Health Alamance Regional Medical Center.
According to the hospital, new mama Aberli Spear is a sᴜʀᴠɪᴠᴏʀ of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, a ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ of the lymphatic system that inhibits the body’s ability to fight off infection. The chances that she and her partner, Hank Spear, would be able to conceive children were limited.

Aberli Spear WFMY-TV that though her daughter’s time and day of birth is pretty awesome, it wasn’t at the center of her mind while delivering her.
“I heard all the nurses sᴄʀᴇᴀᴍɪɴɢ ɪɴ ᴇxᴄɪᴛᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ, and I was like, ‘What is happening?’” she said. “I looked at him and I was like, ‘What time was she born?’ He was like, ‘2:22,’ and I like, ‘Oh, OK!’
According to the National Weather Service, the “2/22/22” date won’t occur again for another four centuries. All of this just makes Judah Grace Spear’s arrival even more special.
