A 14 pound baby was born!
Posted by Capri on February 2, 2007
He was of course delivered by cesarean section. But the heaviest baby according to the Guinness World Records weighed 22 pounds in September 1955. Did they perform cesarean sections on women back then? The poor mother.
He is called “Super Tonio,” and at a whopping birth weight of 14.1 pounds, the little fellow is causing a sensation in this Mexican resort city.
Cancun residents have crowded the nursery ward’s window to see Antonio Vasconcelos, who was born early Monday by Caesarean section. The baby, who weighed 14.5 pounds Wednesday, drinks 5 ounces of milk every three hours, and measures 22 inches in length.
“We haven’t found any abnormality in the child, there are some signs of high blood sugar, and a slight blood infection, but that is being controlled so that the child can get on with his normal life in a few more days,” Narciso Perez Bravo, the hospital’s director, said on Wednesday.
In Brazil, a baby born in January 2005 in the city of Salvador weighed 16 pounds, 11 ounces at birth. According to Guinness World Records, the heaviest baby born to a healthy mother was a boy weighing 22 pounds, 8 ounces, born in Aversa, Italy, in September 1955.
Antonio’s mother, Teresa Alejandra Cruz, 23, and father, Luis Vasconcelos, 38, said they were proud of the boy, and noted that Cruz had given birth to a baby girl seven years ago who weighed 11.46 pounds. . . . . .Source: Yahoo

Hello,
I can’t seem to find a general area to post you a question. I’m inquiring about the pictures. It used to be we could click on the pictures to get them enlarged and view. Now they just go to another window where we have to maximize to view again. Has this changed and is this permanent?
It was just easier the other way.
Thanks,
Rachel

No I didn’t change anything. I wouldn’t even know how to. And I still use Image Venue for hosting. Which pictures or is it happening to any pictures? I also resize very large images to no more than 500 to 600 pixels. They usually say if anything goes wrong with your browser, to delete cookies and cache. I delete everything every night because I’m paranoid and don’t want anything saved.

Hello and thank you for the quick reply. I had just upgraded my computer so there was a pop up blocker that I didn’t know about (I didn’t do the upgrade). I allowed them for your site and I’m fine now.
Sorry about the confusion but I’m glad I figured it out.
Have a great day, and again, I love your site, I come here daily, even though I know you don’t update daily.

Okay, thank you for replying back because I wasn’t sure if it was me, the site, or the image hosting. And thank you for the compliments!
