Did anyone hear about this? It said the hospital didn't even have diapers big enough for him.

WoW......can you imagine? I was worried my baby was going to be big ....and for being 11 days late he came out pretty small.... thank goodness

I saw that earlier today. I always tell DH I hope our kids take after me at birth because he was 12lbs and I was a tiny 6lbs.

This makes me afraid to have children.

Yikes! Holy huge kid.

Also, did anyone think the interview was hilarious? They gave like 2 word answers to every quesiton...

Ann: You said you'd been feeling tired, and with a 16 lb baby, we can understand why. How are you feeling now?
Mom: Okay.

Ann: You had gestatational (sp?) diabetes. Are doctors concerned about the baby having this condition? Or do you they'll think he'll be fine?
Mom: He's fine.

LOL

Yikes. He looks like a little sumo wrestler.

I guess I can't blame the mom for the minimal responses. She looks pretty freakin' worn out, and understandable. I'd be pretty cranky.

Wowzers. That is one big baby. I can't even imagine. Emma was almost 9lbs and I thought that was huge.

I don't have sound on my laptop, but I'm going to watch this interview again on the desktop comp. in a little bit. It sounds hilarious.

Holy huge baby!! I would not want to carry or birth a giant baby like that for sure. Yikes!!!

I saw the interview this morning and said "this is the worst interview ever" I hate those interviews where the people give short answers like that or it's the family member of someone who just died, it's just uncomfortable and awkward.

For sure! Even though it was a C-section, my crotch hurts just thinking about that!

I guess I do not understand how: A. a 16 pound baby fit inside her. My baby was 8 lbs 13 oz and she came 3 weeks early because she ran out of space. B. her doctors either did not notice that she was carrying a toddler or she did'nt have prenatal care?

I was measuring wayyyyy ahead since 31 weeks and my doctors were all over it with ultrasounds, weekly appointments, and talk of induction/c section because my baby was going to be "huge" LMAO.

And even though she had a C section I bet that was rough on her too. My not even 9 pounder was wedged in so tight that a doctor had to climb on me and push from my ribs while another doctor pulled from the incision. Bet she is really sore. =(
