Thank God for C-sections!

Francisca Ramos dos Santos, 38, gave birth to this whopper of a baby named Ademilton on Tuesday in Brazil. He weighed 16.7 pounds! (Does one exclamation point do that sentence justice?)

"Obviously the baby was born by Caesarean section," hospital director Rita Leal said. "Both mother and baby are doing just fine."

Caesarean section...no really? A Blue whale would wince birthing this tyke. She's going to need a third breast to feed this man-baby.



Update
The mother is diabetic, a condition which can commonly cause women to give birth to larger babies.
