Giant Babies at DU
Following a conversation I had with a friend regarding GIANT BABIES, I'm wondering the weight of the largest baby you or your significant other delivered.

Please post the weight of your largest baby.

My son weighed 9 lb 11 oz.

3. Mom swore to God I weighed 5 kg (10 lbs... how many oz?)
But I suspect she exagerated a bit.

7. I'm male, and this thread made me curl up into a fetal position.
I was a little over 8 lb, and that was enough.

15. 10 lbs, 14 oz. grandson.
My daughter often tells the story about how random visitors to the maternity ward used to view all of the hospital's babies through the window (do they still do that?). They had the weights of the babies on tags, and visitors invaribly remarked "ten lbs., 14 ozs.! Holy crap!" to which my daughter would always take some measure of pride.
