movieguy Posted February 5, 2005 Report Posted February 5, 2005 Ore. women gives birth to 14 pound baby Feb 3, 2005 (PRINEVILLE, Ore.) — Jacob Aaron Ryon is the size of a healthy 3-month old. Only problem is, he's less than two weeks old. Jacob weighed 14 pounds and 1 ounce when he was born to Wendy Bullock, 24, on Jan. 21 at Pioneer Memorial Hospital. He measured 24 inches. "The whole hospital was a buzz," grandmother Aaron Miller said. "He's just a little man." Jacob, who was delivered by Caesarean section, was so big he busted out of newborn-sized diapers and his one-piece sleepers. A nurse had to run to the store to get him bigger clothes, Miller said. Jacob is one of the biggest newborns in Central Oregon in recent memory. Doctors at Mountain View Hospital delivered an 11-pound girl in 2000, administrator Rick Nader said. At St. Charles Medical Center-Bend, a 13-pound baby was likely the largest ever born there, spokesman Todd Sprague said. Proud mother Bullock, who is 6-feet tall, doesn't mind the extra load. "I'm just happy he came out healthy and strong and I made it through," she said. "He's perfect." Last month in northeastern Brazil, a 38-year-old woman gave birth to a 16 pound, 11-ounce baby boy named Ademilton. Copyright 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. abc7.com Quote
