Nicole Taylor couldn't believe her ears when the doctors told her that her newborn son weighed an impressive 11 pounds and 7 ounces. As a petite woman standing at just 5 feet 2 inches, she had been preparing for a larger-than-average baby, but this news was still shocking. Even the surgeons performing the c-section were amazed by the size of her little bundle of joy.
It was no surprise that Nicole's husband, Tommy, who stands at 6 feet 1 inch, had a hand in creating such a big baby. But even he was taken aback by the weight of their son, George. They had to remove the newborn attachment from their car seat just to bring him home from the hospital, as he was too big for it. And none of his newborn clothes fit him, as he was already fitting into size two diapers and 0-3 month clothes.
Nicole, a Legal PA from Leeds, had made the decision to have a c-section after being informed of the potential risks of a natural birth. Looking back, she was grateful for that decision as delivering such a large baby naturally could have been a daunting experience. She explained, "I was really shocked because he looked so big, all the surgeons were saying he's massive, they couldn't wait to get him on the scales. They said he could be the biggest baby to be born at LGI in five years. Tom and I were like 'oh my god, he's massive'."
Despite her initial concerns about her son's size, all of George's checkups showed that he was a healthy and happy baby. Nicole was relieved and overjoyed to see her son thriving. However, the signs were there that George might be a big baby from the start. Nicole's first son, Leo, who is now eight years old, was also on the larger side when he was born, weighing 8 pounds and 12 ounces. Additionally, Nicole started showing quite early with George, but she brushed it off as a normal occurrence for second-time mothers.
At her 39-week scan, George was already weighing in at 9 pounds and 2 ounces. One of the midwives joked that Nicole must just make big babies, which turned out to be true. George may take after his tall father, but Nicole couldn't be happier with her son's size. She shared, "He's lovely, he's thriving, he just won't stop having a bottle. He has a five-ounce bottle every two hours and it's not enough for him."
After two days in the hospital, Nicole and George were finally able to go home. Her older son, Leo, was ecstatic to meet his little brother, and even the whole school celebrated his arrival during assembly. Nicole couldn't contain her joy as she gushed, "He is heavy, we've had lots of visitors, and they just still can't believe the size of him. He's chunky but beautiful. I'm just absolutely over the moon. He's absolutely beautiful, and such a nice baby."
