Russian woman's 12th baby weighs in at 17.1 lb (7.75 kg)

Can you imagine?

A Siberian woman gave to her 12th child, Nadia. Not only was Nadia number twelve, but she weighed in at an astonishing 17.1 lbs. (7.75 kg)!

Wow! Baby Nadia weighs more than 'Super Tonio' who was born in Mexico last February and weighed in at 14.5 lbs!

Little baby Nadia was delivered by c-section on September 17, joining eight sisters and three brothers.
"We were all simply in shock," said Nadia's mother, Tatyana Barabanova, 43. "What did the father say? He couldn't say a thing -- he just stood there blinking."

"I ate everything, we don't have the money for special foods so I just ate potatoes, noodles and tomatoes," she told the reporter, adding that all her previous babies had weighed more than 5 kg.
According to the Guinness World Records:
The records lists a 10.2 kg baby boy born in Italy in 1955, and a 10.8 kg baby boy who was born in the United States in 1879 but died 11 hours later.
In case you were wondering, according to World Health Organization's figures, the weight for most healthy newborns is around 7.06 lbs. (3.2 kg).
