10 babies leap into the world at Genesis BirthCenter, Davenport
Genesis BirthCenter, Davenport witnessed an extraordinary event on Leap Day Thursday, with 10 babies making their historic entrance into the world, according to Genesis.
Genesis BirthCenter Manager Kim Nimrick shared that the BirthCenter typically sees about 150 births in February, averaging four to five a day. But Leap Day was a whirlwind of activity with 10 births.
“Having 10 births in a day is already a busy day for us. But when you factor in the odds of being born on Leap Day, which stands at 1-in-1,461, it becomes a marvelously rare and special day,” Nimrick said.
Nimrick’s 22-year-old daughter Paige Nimrick even pitched in to make the day even more special for parents by knitting special orange frog Leap Year caps for the babies.
