For I am an aunt again!

My middle sister and her husband welcome M, an 11 lb, 8 oz, 22 inch boy (no, you read that right), delivered in the most common epidural way and holy shit, that's a lot of baby.



They induced today and seriously, how much more baby could have happened if they hadn't? She rolled with it--epidural, epidural, epidural--but my God. I'm getting her all the cheesecake tomorrow.



...that, by the way, is over one and a half Child at birth weight.

Heaviest baby ever born: 15.5 lbs, by Caesarean

...Wow. I believe that's maybe a pound shy of literally twice the weight of me at birth weight. :O

Congrats to your sister, by the way! :D

oh em gee! 6 lbs 10oz sure felt like a lot to me!

She definitely deserves cheesecake. And beer! Beer is good for let-down of milk, they say! especially the dark kind. And she can hold the cold bottle against the nipple if Young Goliath has been nomming too hard.
ratcreature: Congrats! (congrats)

Wow. That is well over three times of what I weighed at birth (granted, I was premature, but still).

Congrats!

Ouch! And I speak as one who has produced a 10lb 11oz baby in her time, with the helpful aid of Entonox. (There were twins in the hospital whose combined weight was less than my boy!) One big consolation for the Ouch! is that a big baby is able to go longer between meals, so mum will probably get a better chance at sleep in the next few weeks...

Congratulations!

SO MUCH BABY, good lord. Wow. She does deserve all the cheesecake she could possibly want! Congratulations and great happiness to everyone involved, and excellent painkillers to the mother as well.

HUGE. HUGE.

My niece was fairly big, in the 9-10lb range as I recall, but damn.

Lilly was 6lbs 8oz, and I was a whopping 5lbs 1oz, so that's just an once more combined than that baby solo.

That is a lot of baby -- and we come from a family of big babies. (9-9.5 pound is me and my brother. Mind you, i managed to astound the nurses by putting on weight in the few days after birth, when i should have been losing it. According to mum, I had dimples for knuckles.)

She deserves all the cheesecake in the state.
