Take a look at this "little" guy, born yesterday in Texas. I simply can't imagine giving birth to a baby that big.

At least it was a C section!

My sister in law gave birth naturaly to a 15lb boy 16 years ago....

Wow. He's gonna be 2 arms full from the get go!

I only gained about 20 lbs during my pregnancy, so thoughts of carrying a baby that large just boggles my mind. I think that would have had to be a huge incision to get him out of her wouldn't it???

Guess you're right chickenrandomness...everything's bigger in Texas

Wow!! I had bitty babies, first one was 6lbs even, and my second was 7lbs 8oz ... I can't even imagine a 16 pounder!!

I don't have children yet (I'm 30)

The thought of being pregnant scares the heck out of me - and now I see THIS?!

Forget it!!! I'll adopt! lol
