An Apple Valley mother just went 4 for 4 on her kids all being born on the date 7\/7. <\/p>\n
Just before Nauzhae Drake, now 26, delivered her firstborn, she called her mother while driving to school. She told her that she saw a license plate that ended in four sevens \u2014 her lucky number. Drake\u2019s mom took it as a sign. <\/p>\n
\u201cShe was like, \u2018Yep, that\u2019s because he\u2019s coming on that day\u2019,\u201d Drake said. \u201cAnd I\u2019m like, no, he\u2019s not.\u201d <\/p>\n
But on July 7, 2019, Drake delivered her oldest, Kewan. <\/p>\n
Two years later, on the same date, she delivered Na\u2019Zaiyla. <\/p>\n
And in 2022, on the same date, she delivered Khalani.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kailowa Drake, born July 7, wears a necklace with the number 7<\/p>\n
And about two weeks ago, on July 7, Drake delivered a baby boy, Kailowa. <\/p>\n
None of her babies were induced and none of them arrived on their due date. Drake feels that it\u2019s a \u201csign from God at this point,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
Drake is currently in nursing school, graduating in December. She said she went through all of her clinical rotations carrying Kailowa. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re telling me to stop doing this and that because I\u2019m doing a lot, they\u2019re like, \u2018you\u2019re going to make yourself go into labor,\u2019 \u201d Drake said. \u201cBut I ended up finishing all of my clinicals and all of that, and I\u2019m like, \u2018I\u2019m still pregnant!\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n
Some mothers have tactics for inducing labor \u2014 eating spicy food, exercising, driving down a bumpy road. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Before her first child was born, Nauzhae\u2019 Drake says she saw a license plate that ended in four sevens \u2014 her lucky number.<\/p>\n
For Drake, decorating for her kids\u2019 birthday party seems to do the trick. <\/p>\n
\u201cI would be doing a balloon arch,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd every time I do the balloon arch, like two hours later, when I lay down, my water breaks or I start having contractions.\u201d <\/p>\n
Drake usually goes all out for her kids\u2019 birthdays, renting an Airbnb home with a pool and throwing a big party, along with visits to amusement parks like Sesame Place, SeaWorld and the San Diego Zoo. This year\u2019s birthday party was circus-themed, but it didn\u2019t go as planned. <\/p>\n
\u201cMy mother, my grandmother actually was in the delivery room with me and they had on like clown suits because they were ready for the party,\u201d Drake said. \u201cAnd I was ready for the party too, until I went into labor.\u201d <\/p>\n

Some kids get jealous when a sibling\u2019s birthday rolls around and all the attention turns to the birthday child. Drake said her kids love sharing a birthday, and they\u2019re especially excited for this year\u2019s present, another sibling. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey fight over him already,\u201d she said, of Kailowa. \u201cThey\u2019re so helpful. It\u2019s been amazing.\u201d <\/p>\n
So what are the odds of something like this happening? According to Randall Swift, chairman of the math department at California State Polytechnic University at Pomona, you are more likely to win the Powerball lottery 100 times than to have four children born on the same date. <\/p>\n
Instead of four siblings, he calculated using an instance of four independent individuals at a grocery store. The probability of these random strangers all having the same birthday is about 0.000000000056349%, he said. <\/p>\n
But he said these odds may be higher for a mother giving birth on the same date, depending on personal habits and health patterns.<\/p>\n

But to Drake, this coincidence is a blessing, she said. Seven has always been Drake\u2019s favorite number, but it has a new meaning to her now. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s perfection, completion,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An Apple Valley mother just went 4 for 4 on her kids all being born on the date…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":94553,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[62382,62381,59677,1582,276,2770,62380,18996,2961,606,224,5337,27770,17241,62378,55355,62379,1409,6620,1628],"class_list":{"0":"post-94552","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-baby-boy","9":"tag-big-party","10":"tag-birthday","11":"tag-ca","12":"tag-california","13":"tag-date","14":"tag-kailowa","15":"tag-kid","16":"tag-la","17":"tag-labor","18":"tag-los-angeles","19":"tag-losangeles","20":"tag-mom","21":"tag-mother","22":"tag-nauzhae-drake","23":"tag-powerball","24":"tag-sibling","25":"tag-sign","26":"tag-time","27":"tag-year"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114920581096358617","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94552","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=94552"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94552\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/94553"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=94552"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=94552"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=94552"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
