JaMichael Brown, who weighed a serious 16 lbs. 1oz proves the saying ‘everything is bigger in Texas’ to be extremely true.
Officials believe he may be the largest baby ever to be born in the great state.
The Daily Mail reports:
His exhausted mother, Janet Johnson, had been booked in for a Caesarean section on Friday morning.
She knew JaMichael was going to be a big baby, but had never imagined he would weigh four pounds more than doctors had predicted.
He was also 24″ long, his head measured 15″ and chest 17″ – those are measurements of the average three to six-month-old.
We’re just amazed,’ Ms Johnson told the News-Journal.
‘I can’t believe he’s that big. A lot of the baby clothes we bought for him will have to be returned. They’re already too small for him to wear.’
Not-so-little JaMichael also came out with a full head of hair and the hospital did not have diapers big enough to fit him.
Mr Brown said he had high hopes his son would become a footballer.
The baby is the couple’s fourth child and first boy. His three older sisters at 18, 16 and ten.
‘That’s it, no more now,’ Ms Johnson said.
She had suffered gestational diabetes during the pregnancy and, as a result, JaMichael is currently in intensive care in order to regulate his blood sugar.
