moodboard/Thinkstock(CLEVELAND) — An Ohio couple has a lot to celebrate on Jan. 1 every year.

Not only is it New Year’s Day, but both Raheen Stover and his wife Qiana Stover celebrate their birthdays on Jan. 1.

And as of 7:56 a.m. Thursday, it’s also their first born daughter’s birthday, according to UH Case Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio, where she was born.

“I’m still in shock about the whole thing,” Raheem Stover told ABC News. “All of us to share the same date together is really unbelievable.”

They named the new baby girl Autumn, because that’s their favorite season.

The baby wasn’t due until Jan. 10, but Qiana’s water broke at about 5 a.m. on New Year’s Day, Stover said. They rushed to the hospital, and less than three hours later, they were parents.

“It didn’t all sink in until afterwards,” he said. “And it’s New Year’s.”

Next year, everyone in his family will get their own birthday cake, Stover said. He prefers chocolate cake, but his wife doesn’t like it. And they’ll just have to wait and see what baby Autumn likes best.

“Somebody’s going to have to celebrate theirs on the 31st,” Raheem Stover joked to ABC News affiliate WEWS-TV. “Somebody’s going to have to go on the first and maybe somebody’s going to have to take the second.”
