Biggest birth message – couple receptions a 16 Pound Baby Boy

This bundle of pleasure must be starting an additional facilitating of happiness: a couple in Texas are the conceited parents of 16-pound, 1-ounce, 2-foot-long JaMichael Brown.

At 9:05 Friday morning, Janet Johnson and Michael Brown greeted their son at Longview's Good Shepherd Medical Center. JaMichael, who was immediately nicknamed "the Moose," is the biggest  child ever born in the hospital—and most likely the state.

So accurately how big is a 16-pound baby? Let's put it this way: The normal newborn is about seven-and-a-half pounds. The Brown baby's weight is just about equal to that of a six-month-old.

In a video for the "Today" show, JaMichael's parents said they had been told by doctors to anticipate a big baby, maybe 12 or 13 pounds, before the scheduled Cesarean birth. The 39-year-old mother suffered from gestational diabestes, which can consequence in or specify bigger birth weights. Accurately how much bigger was the massive surprise.

 As big as JaMichael is, there have been heftier newborns. The overweight baby, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, was born in Ohio in 1879 and weighed 23 pounds, 12 ounces.

Further just, a newborn nicknamed "giant baby" (born 2005 in Brazil) weighed in at 17 pounds. (The baby was delivered by C-section to the 38-year-old mother, who was also diabetic.)

But a bruiser of a baby born in Indonesia in 2009 listed the scales at 19.2 pounds—setting a record for the country and seizing global concentration on the Web. We certain hope the record stands for a long time.
