Spit-up On My Shoulder

In the headlines today from Associated Press:

Cancun, Mexico - He is called “Super Tonio,” and at a whopping birth weight of 6.4 kilos (14 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 Cesarean section at Jesus Kumate Rodriguez hospital.

In three days, Tonio gained 7 ounces, weighing in Wednesday night at 14.5 pounds. He measures 22 inches in length.

Wow - and ouch! What I want to know is, how is the mom doing? I can’t imagine being pregnant with a 14 pound baby. That’s more baby weight than most moms of twins carry. Hats off to Tonio’s mom!
