Destined to be best friends

We had Parker's first parent-teacher conference today. She's doing just fine, in case you were wondering. But, something crazy happened. Yes, I know that a parent-teacher conference for a 5-month old is crazy in and of itself, but read on.

Parker was born at Providence St Vincent's on May 9, 2008. While we were in the recovery room, we found that our neighbors had also named their baby girl Parker. Coincidence? Who knows. Probably. Well, at the P-T conference today, Parker's teachers told me that there was going to be another baby joining the infant room when a couple of the older babies move on. This baby's name happens to be Parker! And, guess what, this baby's birthday is also May 9th. Wouldn't you know... it is the same baby girl that was roomed next to us in the hospital that day.

What do you suppose the odds are? Two baby girls born in the same hospital on the same day given the same name (a somewhat odd name for a girl) and going to the same daycare. If you're doing the calculations, you should know that there are only 8 spots in the infant room.
