.owieeee again!!!

Well my niece who is a diabetic just had a baby who was also about three weeks premature due to her size. Once the lungs were fully developed, it was time to C-Section. My niece was huge the poor thing. In pain, her hips etc. First baby. over ten pounds. Cute as a button. The baby grew big because since my niece is diabetic, the baby was getting a lot of insulin from her Mom during development. The baby's sugar was a bit low at first but is all so fine now! My niece's baby could not wear new born cloths because she was already too big for them. My thoughts are that the baby will loose some weight in the first several months. Chances are the baby will not have any heart problems associated with being premature. This is exciting. Congrats to the Happy parents.

I saw this newbie on the news the other day. He entered this world looking like a 3 month old baby. I can only hope he's healthy and doesn't have any problems as a result of being premature. Going to be a little costly to feed this little guy. This couple produces some pretty big babies. I wish them all much good health and happiness.

Goodness and he was premature? It was bad enough with my 2 at 6 pound 9 and 7 pound 2 never mind any higher then that I mean I am only 5 foot and a bit I really would not have been able to take that weight and anyone who can I really admire lol

Again, one of the most awesome reasons ever why I respect ladies all over the world.. for giving birth and being a mom to children. Must be painful for her..

I have a step daughter who has had four kids. Each one weighed exactly two pounds more than the previous one. Her last one is about 8 months old now. I have no idea what he weighs now but at birth he was 14 pounds some odd ounces and she had a natural birth! Talk about ouch! Here is a picture of my stepgrandson less than two months after his birth.........

I couldn't imagine giving birth to a baby that large! Was it by C-section? I had neighbors who had 3 very large babies, all by natural childbirth. The largest was almost 15 pounds at birth and could not use her right arm because her collarbone had to be broken in order to get through the birth canal. She was, uh, stuck. The entire family was large. I don't think any one of them, even the females, was under 6 feet tall. Also, as far as I know, they're all in the restaurant/bar business, not one of them ever went for a sports career. The family owned an Italian restaurant/bar in our neighborhood and when I moved away the kids were just beginning to take over. I remember when I had my first baby, a small 5 pounds 12 ounces (also born 3 weeks early), there was another baby in the nursery who weighed about 12 pounds. This baby seemed to be overdue, though, because they had to cut the baby's hair in the front so they could see it's face! This baby had hair already about 5 inches long! In the words of Forrest Gump (well, kinda), "Having babies is like a box of chocolate; you never know what you're going to get." LOL
