Reply #13: 40 years ago when my son was born, the lady in my hospital room

[napi21]

delivered a 14# 7 oz baby the same day. She was a really nice lady, but a very large woman. I don't mean fat, I mean large! If I remember right, she was almost 6" tall and not thin by any means. I was in labor for 11 hours and my son seighed 7#11oz, but I felt pretty lucky when she told me she had been in labor for 27 hours and finally delivered this "big girl". The baby was a real doll, but did look like a 3 month old already!
