Babies born at 12:12 on 12/12/12
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Two babies were born at a ‘magical’ time Wednesday – 12:12 p.m. on 12/12/12.
Frank and Cierra Smith, of Auburn Township, Ohio, gave birth to Forever Cierra Cotrice Smith, their second child, at the Cleveland Clinic Wednesday, according to the hospital.
Forever was delivered via cesarean section and weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces, measuring in at 18-inches long.

The Smiths have a 2-year-old son, Caden.
Noelle Joy Klinker was born at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston to Colleen and Joe Klinker. To add to the theme of the number 12, Colleen had also been in labor for 12 hours.

Joe Klinker said the timing was a coincidence, as his wife gave one final push at 12:11 p.m.
He added that little Noelle’s birth was extra special not only because of the timing, but because they had lost a daughter, Melody, at childbirth last year.
