The remarkable palindromic date of birth took place at the Alamance Regional Medical Center in Burlington, North Carolina, according to Cone Health – a statewide hospital network.
Cone Health announced that the Spears named their newborn daughter Judah Grace roughly 10 hours after Aberli gave birth.
