Baby BOOM – A BABY born to Princess Marie & Prince Joachim of Denmark

Since my aunt Nelly to whom I was very close had married a Dane and had lived in Denmark for more than 65 years, I feel Denmark as another home and their news is close to my heart. (Read the news)

Huff Post – It's a girl for Princess Marie and Prince Joachim!The Danish royal couple welcomed a baby girl on Tuesday and presented her to the world on Friday.

The prince and princess presented Denmark's newest royal outside Copenhagen University Hospital, wrapping the 6.45-pound newborn in a pale pink blanket.

35-year-old Marie also looked lovely and certainly no worse for the wear, sporting a gray turtleneck, a navy jacket and straight-leg jeans.

This is Princess Marie and Prince Joachim's second child, after welcoming a son, Prince Henrik Carl Joachim Alain, in 2009.

Although she looked like any other infant at her public debut, the little princess is 10th in line to the throne in Denmark. Prince Joachim is the youngest son of Queen Margrethe II, who celebrated 40 years on the throne this year.

There's nothing that makes us squeal like an adorable royal family (see: Princess Mary and Prince Frederik of Denmark). Check out the newest royal and her happy parents below! 

BABY BOOM – Baby born at 11:11 on 11/11/11 to Vet on Veterans Day.

I am not sure if I believe in numerology or astrology but from a few months ago I knew that 11-11-11 would be a full moon and we should expect a special energy around us.  I had the intention to arrange a moonlight hike and a little picnic, but it didn't work out, because in our neck of the woods, the weather forecast predicted rain and overcast.  

From an email I learned that on that special day there would be a"water" ceremony conducted by a spiritual healer "shaman" from Zimbabwe, an African country.  A few of my friends and I hit the road to Loyola Marymount University where the event was held. It was interesting to know that the Shaman used the energy of the day to heal the wounds of the communities not individual anguishes.   

On the way back from LMU, I stopped at a grocery store to buy a lottery ticket and I realized that I had left my wallet home and I didn't have any money to buy a ticket.  So my arms longer that my legs (that's how in Farsi, despair is shown) I headed home. That special date came and went without anything extraordinary happening, however I was amused to catch the following news on the AOL homepage.  What a coincidence...

Baby born at 11:11 on 11/11/11 to Vet on Veterans Day.

MOUNT HOLLY, N.J. -- Jacob Anthony Saydeh (say-DAH') won't have any trouble remembering precisely when he was born.

Virtua Memorial hospital in Mount Holly, N.J., says Jacob entered the world at 11:11 a.m. on Friday – 11-11-11.

And to make the Veterans Day birth even more remarkable, the boy's mother is an Air Force veteran and his father currently services in the Air Force. It's the second child for Staff Sgt. Christopher Saydeh and his wife, Danielle. They live at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, where he is a member of Air Force security forces. They are a third-generation military family.
