9 pound 9 ounce child born at 9:09, 9/9/09

Local baby's birth carries cluster of nines

The nines aligned for Henry Michael Berendes' birth.

The third child of Polly and Chuck Berendes arrived at 9:09 a.m. on 9/9/09, weighing 9 pounds, 9 ounces.

"I don't know how it happened, but it's pretty crazy," said Chuck, 29.

The La Crosse couple talked about the possibility of the triple-nine birthdate and chuckled when the doctor selected the date for Polly's C-section, Chuck said.

Chuck even brought up the possibility of nailing the time when the surgery was scheduled for 9 a.m. at Franciscan Skemp Medical Center.

"I told her the last one went pretty quick, what if it's 9:09?" he said. "She (Polly) said, 'Whatever, Chuck.'"

Delivery room staff watched the time for awhile, but Chuck said it slipped their mind until Henry was put on the scale.

"They measure in metric and the doctor did the math in his head but to be sure he had the nurse convert it," he said.

"When she said 9 pounds, 9 ounces, he started laughing and I started laughing," Chuck said.


I've associated 9 with the Moon before (9x9 is the magic square for The Moon), so that would make this a synchromystic Moonchild...

9 is also Yesod, the Moon, on the Kabbalah Tree of Life.



Another 9 in this story is the 9 month gestation period...

The kid's name is Henry Michael Berendes, HMB=23/W. 2x3 is 6/9.

"Michael" could be a reference to the Archangel Michael, "field commander of the Army of God".

Wow! Crazy numerology. This is surely one awesome interlinking and interconnecting world.
