Frine Brito had a due date of December 17, but Angeline Daniela decided that a birthday that would be hard to forget suited her better. So at 8:29 a.m. on December 12, 2012 - otherwise known as 12/12/12 - Frine Brito gave birth to a daughter, Angeline Daniela (too early by 3 hours, 43 minutes or she would have been a 12:12, 12/12/12 baby) Frine said she never even thought about the 12/12/12 date when it became obvious that she was going to give birth on Wednesday. Angeline Daniela was the only baby born in Montezuma County on 12/12/12. She weighed just shy of 6 pounds and is 19 inches long. It's a popular belief among numerologists that the number 12 is lucky, associated with completeness and harmony. The number 12 also features prominently in religion (12 disciples in Christianity, 12 imams in Shi'a Islam, 12 tribes of Israel in Judaism), mythology (12 gods of Olympus, 12 labors of Hercules), astrology (12 zodiac signs), time (12 hours on clock face, 12 months), therapy (12-step program) and holiday traditions (12 Days of Christmas) to name a few. The date 12/12/12 is the last numerical date for 88 years, until January 1, 2101, or 01/01/01.
