be kind to your mothers

"Mom's 12th baby is a whopper at 17.1 pounds"

geezes! 17.1 pounds!?! gawd... what can i do to make sure one like that never comes outta me???
and apparently this unlucky lady's other 11 kids were all 11-plus pounds at birth! she brews 'em big! good thing they were all delivered by c-section!

according to the WHO, the average weight for healthy newborns is around 7.06 pounds... this kid is like 2.5 normal kids! and she's not even the record! guiness world records has the largest surviving baby at 22.5 pounds - a boy born in italy in 1955...

i was only like 5 pounds wheni was born! that 22.5 pound kid is like 4 of me... only in one big package! i know how much pain i put my mother through (birthing and otherwise...) so i can imagine how nice this 17 pound kid's gonna have to be to her mom!
