999 rings up new life for lucky trio; CELEBRATIONS: Meet three Brum babies with a very memorable birthday.


Byline: Kat Keogh

999 MAY be a cause of alarm for some people, but for three Birmingham newborns, it could be the luckiest number of all.

Numerologists claim nine is the "number of life" and that was certainly the case when three tiny tots were welcomed into the world at the city's Heartlands Hospital yesterday, on 09/09/09.

Little Saira Khattak was the first baby to claim the memorable birthday, when mum Marina gave birth to her just after 3.30am.

Saira weighed in at a healthy 7lb 11oz and proud dad Anwar said he hoped his daughter's birthday would inspire a future career in the police force.

"With a 999 birthday, we are hoping she'll want to join the police when she gets older," the 27-year-old from Small Heath Small Heath can be:
  • Small Heath, an area of Birmingham, England.
  • Small Heath or Small Heath Alliance, former names of Birmingham City F.C.
  • The Small Heath butterfly, (Coenonympha pamphilus)
 said.

"I was watching the news the night before she was born and they were on about the signifi-cance of 09/09/09, and I remembered what they'd said after Saira was born."

New mum Naomi Kotwi, from Shard End Coordinates:

 unit an hour later. Mum-of-three Naomi is still undecided on a name for her 6lb 11oz baby, and said it was a "big surprise" that she was born on such a memorable date.

The 26-year-old said: "She was due on the 6th and I really thought she'd be born on September 11, so it was a big surprise when she was born on 09/09/09. "She's got her older brothers Daniel and Pharrell waiting at home and they are so excited."

Also sharing the same easy-toremember birthday is little Ilham Bayle, who was born just before 12.30pm.

The 8lb 4oz baby is the fifth child for mum Lul Said from Small Heath.

The Brummie babes' unusual birthday was also marked by other events around the globe.

In the US, "9", the new sci-fi flick by director Tim Burton, was released in cinemas.

And in China, more than 10,000 couples registered their marriages in Beijing and 6,000 more couples tied the knot knot
