Ever wonder how heavy is the heaviest newborn ever? Well, well, well! Prepare yourself and meet Big baby from Indonesia (he doesn’t have a name yet so I called him Big baby instead).

Heaviest Baby

Big baby is the one on the left (obviously he’s big!) and the right is the average size of a newborn. See the difference!!!!

He is a 19.2-pound and 24.4 inches long. Recorded as the heaviest baby in the country. The mother went through a caesarean section last Monday Sept. 21 at a public hospital in the province of North Sumatra. One of the doctors who performed the surgery commented that they had difficulties taking the baby out because his legs are long and big.

The healthy baby boy has a very strong appetite, he feeds on almost every minute. A very extraordinary case from the usual that we see. Even when he cries, he sound like a 2 year old baby.

The doctors explained Big Baby’s condition. They said that his mother Ani has diabetes which caused the baby to grow big. When a diabetic mother’s glucose level is high during pregnancy, the baby can receive too much glucose and grow too large, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

Indonesia’s previous heaviest baby, weighing in at 15.2 pounds, was born in 2007 on the outskirts of the capital Jakarta, according to the Indonesian Museum of Records website.

The internet connection at school is very irritating. If it’s not intermittent, it is supeeeerrrrr slloooooooow!

Break time na nga lang ang time para makagamit ka ng net sa school grabe pa sa bagal kaya naman minsan mas masarap pang matulog kesa magstay sa comlab, kaya lang no choice ka naman kundi magstay dahil makikita ka ng director na tulog sa loob ng classroom kahit na wla pang estudyante.

While at com lab I have noticed a kid several times already whom I think is in kinder 5. He’s so hyper that whenever he’s inside, the whole room becomes wild. Andyan un magpanic sya kasi inde nia mabuksan un game sa computer or kundi naman sisigaw sya ng teacher teacher ng mga 5 beses para sure nyang makukuha ang attention ng tinatawag nya. Tapos pag nilapitan mo naman sasabihin nia lang na inde sya makapaglaro. Then when you’ve helped him, within 5 mins magpapanic na naman sya kasi inde nia masagutan un games, hahahah! kaya in the end, you will be the one playing the game for him. Wise di ba :P

I wasn’t able to take a photo of this hyper kid but when I have the opportunity again, will surely capture his image so I can share how he looks like :)

One of the best things Internet offer is online shopping and I am one fan of this!

I was looking earlier for a nice French press coffee maker on the net and I ended up at shopwiki where they have good collections of coffee maker. I found a cute red Bodum Brazil French Press for only $7 which is really good value for money :) They will ship the product anywhere in the world for a minimal fee so you can still save more by buying online rather than spending time outside just looking for the product that you want.

They also have a lot of kitchen items like pans, wine glasses and steamers which could be perfect gifts for your family and friends. I am very keen with kitchen stuffs not because I am a woman but I need them to prepare good meals for my family. Thus, shopping at shopwiki gives me an opportunity to complete my kitchen in less time and less effort.
