Stuy Pyro Leaves Notes In Hieroglyphics
This morning, Irene Sinyavin is our hero. She just gave birth to her 11 pound, 10 ounce baby boy - naturally. And without pain medication. Sinyavin is 5'9" and her husband is 6'4", but you might not expect an a baby over 11 pounds. Weill Cornell Medical Center thinks it's the biggest baby ever delivered there, and from the picture in the Daily News, baby Alexei seems to have totally skipped that scrunched-up, old man face that most newborns have because they are much tinier.
And when Gothamist thinks about big babies, we think Baby Boh from the wonderful Hayao Miyazaki film, Spirited Away.

Ouch.
I second the ouch. I had heard that my grandpa was around 12lbs when he was born. Considering how petite my great grandma was -- triple ouch!
My grandmother was a petite woman, and back in those days, doctors would visit the home for the delivery, bringing various equipment. Apparently my uncle was so big that the scale, which went up to 10 pounds, couldn't measure his weight.
God the art/headline combo was funny... nice one, Jen!
Thanks, Tim N. Originally, I was going to use a picture of present day Jake, but I managed to get this one.
The thought of Jake in a giant onesie may have scarred me for life.
