The native of Texas love to exaggerate about everything happening in this Lone Star State. As or recently, this has been proved from a baby boy’s birth who had weight of 16 pounds and one ounce.

Weight of JaMichael Brown was double than the national average for a newborn and is measured 24 inches just short by few inches than an average 1 year old.

JaMichael has the title of the biggest baby ever born at Good Shepherd Medical Center in Longview, located on the boundary between Texas and Louisiana. The hospital is functioning from the year 1938 and 2900 babies were born last year.

According to Victoria Ashworth, marketing director of the hospital, previous record is with a child born in the year 1988 whose weight was just over 15 pounds.

The officials informed that JaMichael was born at 9:05 a.m. on Friday to Janet Johnson and Michael Brown. He is Johnson’s fourth child, but the couple’s first together.

The hospitals representative told that he was delivered by a Caesarean section in her 39th week of pregnancy, just a few days early.

The state still calculates the possibility if JaMichael will break all records for Texas-sized newborns.

Johnson was discharged from the hospital on Tuesday but still stays there until JaMichael is allowed to go home in the coming few days as he is under observation in the neonatal intensive care unit.

“He’s … stabilized and is just being observed and watched carefully,” Ashworth said.

Ashworth told that the little baby has been nicknamed “Moose” across the internet and his size can partly be attributed to the fact that his mother suffered from gestational diabetes during her pregnancy.

“They do have some genetics that play in,” Ashworth said.

It is worth mentioning here that many universities have already contacted his father to set up his football scholarship.

The news stories and records show that some newborns were more than 23 pounds in the late 1800s and a baby was born in Indonesia at 19.1 pounds in 2009.
