That's a lot of the number 12.

Hussain-Said said her due date was the 22nd. The thought crossed her mind that the baby may arrive on her birthday, but she wasn't betting on it.
"I always thought it would be a nice thing to share," she said.
The new baby joins his siblings, Ali, 7, and Jannah, 2.
"Ali is over the moon," over a new brother, Hussain-Ali said.
Hussain-Ali and Zayd are expected to be discharged from the hospital Friday.
