Here's a link to an MSN article about a seventeen pound Brazilian baby boy that was recently born.

Holy schnikes. C-section or not, that must have been one heck of an experience for the mom!

Oh My Good Lord.

Thanks. I'm going to go off and worry now.

I will never complain about Little tod's 12.4 pounds again.....

I'm a guy and all I can say is:

OOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHH!

And I mean that with ALL due respect.
I saw what my wife went through with our son and he was a normal size.

Ok, check this out. Ever notice when a guy hears about or sees another guy get hit in the jewels he automatically covers his own and can "feel" the pain?

Ever notice at the same time, if you mention a baby's birth weight like this one that women grab their middles and bend over with the same reaction of "feeling" the pain?

All I gotta say is that I am glad for Piglet's 8lbs 4oz!

I will never complain about Little tod's 12.4 pounds again.....
