Pregnancy problems
When Jennifer Medlock and partner Eric were told it was highly unlikely they could conceive a child, they were determined to fend off the doubts.
Eventually, with the help of fertility treatments, Jennifer was able to fall pregnant with a little girl.
Two years ago, they successfully delivered said girl, Annabelle. At 9lbs 10oz at birth, she was heavier than the average newborn (who weighs in at around 7.5 pounds).
The couple, from Arlington, Texas then got pregnant a second time, and so prepared to add a boy to their growing family.
Before the birth, Jennifer figured he was going to be on the large side. She thought he could come out as heavy as 10lbs. She had no idea, of course, that baby Ali – born via Cesarean-section – would astound those who helped deliver him.
Ali actually broke records at the Arlington Memorial Hospital when he arrived. At almost 15lbs, ‘little Ali’ is nearly twice the size of the average newborn!
14lbs 13oz was Ali’s official birth weight, making him the heaviest baby to date at the Arlington Hospital. Jennifer told CBS News: “It doesn’t matter how big he is, I’m so blessed to have him.”
