O’Fallen, Ill. — The last full moon of the decade appeared at 12:12 a..m. on December 12 and so did a timely bundle of joy.

Denarrika Fisher and Charles Bell, of Belleville, IL, welcomed a new baby boy into the world at exactly 12:12 a.m. in the Women and Infants Center at HSHS St. Elizabeth's Hospital, in O'Fallen, Illinois.
A hospital press release said, "Baby Denarius was originally due on December 30 but decided to come early for this numeric and lunar coincidence."

Both mom and baby are doing fine.
