Believe it or not this is actually baby number three for the happy couple and the others weren’t as big, however he was the first boy. Do you think it mattered that he was the first boy?

According to news reports, Wendi actually weighed a little more than 10lbs at her own birth so maybe it has something to do with her birth rate. Not sure, it states the doctors actually had to break her shoulders at birth to get her out. OUCH.

Huffington Post:

Axel’s mother and father, Wendi and Michael Dolton of Rochester, Minn., told the TODAY Show this weekend that they knew their infant would be big, at least 12 pounds, but they weren’t expecting the baby to weigh in at 15 lbs.

Wendi Dolton says she too was a big baby, and weighed more than 10 lbs. at birth. She said doctors had to break her shoulders to deliver her.

Axel is the Dolton’s third child and their first boy.

The baby just wanted to have a very special day for her birth, the little girl was born right there during all the festivities. Grandma was running back and forth to help her daughter give birth and make sure her turkey didn’t burn. I thought that was cute because I remember all too well trying to make a nice Thanksgiving meal and dealing with four kids. I can’t even picture what it would’ve been like to actually have someone in the house about to give birth and knowing you may have to deliver if the amublance doesn’t get there fast. Grandma had called 9-1-1 however the dispatcher had to walk her through the process. The baby girl was born before they got there.

Hopefully this mommy got a bit of turkey before being taken to the hospital. Congratulations to Africa, hope you and your baby are doing just fine.

As we all know, babies don’t care where you are when they want to be born. A newborn will make a mom deliver on the side of the road, at home, in a store, at a gas station, on a plane or at a hospital. There is no way you are going to stop that baby from coming out if it is time. Thankfully the staff was able to set Nicola up a room and the paramedics got to the hospital as quickly as they could. Baby and mom were doing just fine after the event and Kelly got to see her new baby brother right away, even calling in the staff to show him off.
SkyNews:

The 157-year-old central London hospital treats sick babies and children but does not have a maternity unit, and there are no records of children ever having been born there.

Baby Zac decided to arrive while his mother Nicola Tyler, 32, was staying with her six-year-old daughter Kelly, who is having treatment for Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma there.

Before she left home for Kelly’s nine-day stint, Nicola, from Canvey Island, Essex, told her partner Dave Abbott: “I’m scared I’m going to have him up there.”

Her fears came true four days later when she went into labour on Elephant ward.

Baby Zac joins his two sisters, 6-year-old Kelly and 9-year-old Chloe, his dad Dave and mom, Nicola. Dave and Chloe were actually at home and made it slightly too late for the delivery but I’m sure they are thrilled to have the new addition.

Little Henry Berendes was scheduled for a C-section at exactly 9a.m. on September 9th, however it wouldn’t stop there. He was pulled out at exactly 9:09 am, but it was when they put the little baby on the scales that they all began to laugh, he weighed in at 9lb9oz.

Chuck Berendes had this to say to LaCrosse Tribune:

“I told her the last one went pretty quick, what if it’s 9:09?” he said. “She (Polly) said, ‘Whatever, Chuck.’” 

If you really want to get into this, Henry is the third sibling. Confused? 3 actually goes into 9, not sure if that means anything but thought it was a little fun trivia there. Congrats to all the happy families that brought in a child on this very lucky day!

While this is a great thing I can’t even picture carrying a baby of that size. Thankfully she delivered by caesarean and not vaginally.

The pride and joy’s name is Chelsea Rose Mackay and she was 13.8 lbs, another baby in the hospital was born weighing less than 2lbs. Talk about a difference, in the article written by Fox News they have a side by side comparison, Chelsea looks as if she’s 6 months old.

The Australian mom, Danielle Mackay,

that gave birth says she knew her baby would be big just by the size of her stomach. She went on talking about her diet she was on while pregnant and I must say it sounds really good.

News.com reports:

Ms Mackay said along with her hard working partner, Paul Mifsud, she ate a diet of stockman’s tucker and also snacked on icy poles while pregnant with Chelsea but never imagined her bundle of joy would be this big.

I did look up the meals of Stockman’s Tucker and it has fresh veggies, meats, stews, etc. It all looks really healthy and as for her snacking on icy poles, I’m not sure if they are the ones by Nestle but here’s a pic of what they look like and they do look good. Nestle’ Poles are 99% fat free, gluten free and natural colors.

The baby wasn’t breathing when he was first born, but quickly the area filled up with good samaritans and someone knew how to open his airways. Mom and baby were both taken to the nearby hospital and are doing just fine.

The delivery only took seven whole minutes, she said she was able to assist due to having two children of her own. Thank goodness this woman was nearby right? The baby girl came right out too, no complications and she caught the baby.

The mom and baby are doing just fine, however it seems they want a bit of privacy since the entire birth was broadcasted when someone taped the whole thing on their cell phone. I can’t say that I blame them, I think I’d go into hiding too. But it’ll definitely be something this conductor will never forget. Congrats to the new mom.

decided he was coming before she’d ever make it to the hospitall. Now this little guy couldn’t have waited until just after everyone had gone to work, he waited just before so mom would have to deal with Rush Hour traffic in the morning.

Quickly she called for help, but at 7:30 a.m. when firefighters got there it was too late, Patricia with the help of her husband, Juan, had delivered a healthy baby boy. The firefighters did need to give him oxygen but after that he was fine. By the way this was not their first time doing this, well on the road it was and they named him Brian. I’m not sure if that was because one of the firefighters on the scene was named Brian or if it was planned out. Either way that’s pretty cool and definitely not something I’d want to experience. Maybe he’ll become a race car driver.

“It wasn’t as big of deal as I thought it would be, but I’ll let the docs do it next time,” said firefighter Brian Jones.

Firefighters said the parents were calm and almost speechless. The boy was cleaned up and sent off to the hospital, but not before getting a name.

“They named it Brian,” Jones laughed.

A hospital spokesperson is stating the baby was named Alejandro Sanchez. Congrats to the happy couple, may you never have to rush again.

with the swine flu. The baby is not suffering from the flu but being born too early. The mother is critically ill and no updated news has been released, the baby is being cared for in the intensive care unit. Hopefully we’ll hear good news in this case soon. Congrats to the new mom and dad, may your baby gain weight quickly.

Also in the swine flu news, a 14 month old baby is being treated in Glasgow. Currently in the UK there are 541 cases of the Swine Flu, 21,940 in the entire world that has been reported and yet it keeps spreading. While it seems to have become a quiet subject it is still going around so you may want to continue keeping those sneezes to yourself.

74 babies were born at the

New York City Hospital in Brooklyn. No one knows what’s caused this boom, maybe it’s the weather or maybe it is just the closest hospital. It might even be the fact that two local hospitals had to close its doors.

Hospital spokeswoman Eileen Tynion says that veteran staff often swap stories about spikes in baby births, but couldn’t recall such a tyke-storm as the one that began on Tuesday. She says once or twice a year about 65 babies are born over 48 hours.

The usual tempo for the hospital is about 20 bundles of joy a day.

The hospital is use to having 20 babies being born a day but never 74 in two days. They even had to open up the east wing after one was filled to capacity (60 beds).
