A baby born on 2 February 2022 at 2:22 am in room two of a hospital has been described as a “answered prayer” for her family. Judah Grace Spear was born at the Alamance Regional Medical Centre in Burlington, North Carolina, reported Fox News. “Today is an extra special ‘twos-day’ for this newborn and her family,” said the hospital network Cone Health on Twitter. “Mum Aberli is a Hodgkin’s lymphoma survivor, and the necessary cancer treatments she went through made pregnancy unlikely.
