A 15 Pound Newborn

This is one big baby.

“MADRID, Spain – A Colombian woman has given birth to a 15-pound baby, the largest in 40 years in Madrid’s main maternity hospital.

The 38-year-old mother, identified only as Rosario, had gestational diabetes — which can cause women to give birth to larger-than-usual babies — and a track record. Her first daughter, now nine, weighed 10.2 pounds at birth.

The new baby’s father, Juan Carlos, said that with another woman he had a daughter that weighed 17 pounds at birth. “They told me it is genetic,” he told reporters.”
