I got stuck in my mom. I was three weeks late and went into distress so they cut me out. Not only did my mom have the drugs, they gave her general anesthesia because she couldn't bend over far enough to get the regular drugs. (she's really short and the belly got in the way, plus the contractions.) when i escaped the womb, there was a ring around my head where i tried to force my way out but didn't make it. i was a normal weight baby.
Does anyone remember that story about dads giving the new mom a gift for pushing out Junior? I think this lady deserves one of those. Cuz, um, goddamn!
In a dream last night my SIL had another baby that came out (at birth) the same size as my 3yo nephew is now. I will not be telling her about this as I like her and she does not own a fainting couch to catch her fall.
When my sister was pregnant with my neice, she gained so much weight that we all (including her obstetrician) just knew she was going to have the most gigantic baby evar. Boy was she pissed when my neice came out weighing a hefty 6lbs, 14oz.
@terribletwenties aka Aesop's Foibles: That's an amazing image. When my second little brother was born, before my other brother and I saw him, my mom told us over the phone that he looked like our dad. My brother, confused, asked "The baby has a beard?"
@LaComtesse: Hah! My niece was born with a really hairy back as well as a hairy forehead. Her eyebrows just sort of encroached up her forehead and gradually met with her hairline. She's four now and her back and forehead are still as furry as ever. It's worth mentioning that the rest of us are Irish and not at all hairy.
@BlondeGrlz is having a BlondeBoyz!: I'm sure Little BlondeBoyz will tickle on his way into the world--like adorable butterflies fluttering out of your sparkling ladyparts.
I was so tiny when I was born that I just slowly drifted out of my mom's body via osmosis. Then I fed on nothing but sunlight and water vapor until I was big enough to absorb finely-atomized formula mist.
Then I was bitten by a radioactive spider. With three nipples.
@Penny Plastic (Archetype): Mr. Pietra was about 10 1/2 pounds, as his mom delights in telling me. Oddly, I do want to have children with this man. I'm hoping my side of the family's tendency to go into labor right after lunch and get home in time for dinner the same day cancels his side out.
