5ft Mom Shocked By 14lb 8oz Baby


First-time mother, Sara Herman thought it was normal when her baby bump was enormous after just five months.

Little did she know that she was going to give birth to a little giant.When Jack arrived at 37 weeks he weighed an astonishing 14lb 8oz.

Health problems kept him in the hospital for 4 months after his birth.

Tests showed that Jack had grown so big because of a condition called hyperinsulism which causes the body to produce too much insulin, leading to weight gain.

His heart muscle had thickened since it had to work extra hard because of his size.

At the age of 14 weeks he had 95 per cent of his pancreas removed to treat his condition. The operation was a success and doctors allowed him to go home with medication.

Today, Jack weighs nearly 22lb, compared with the average weight at six months of 16lb, and wears clothes for a child aged 12 to 18 months.

Sara describes him as “such a happy baby, always laughing and giggling. People can’t believe that he’s only six months old when I take him out in his pram.”

Recalled Aquadots Still Being Advertised In Sunday Circulars

 


The recalled toy beads, Aqua Dots, were pulled from shelves nearly three weeks ago for being coated in a chemical that can turn into the “date-rape” drug when swallowed.

So why did they appear in circulars for Toys “R” Us and Target this weekend? Toys “R” Us says Aqua Dots are not actually for sale, just that the circulars were printed weeks in advance.

I guess the biggest issue here is carelessness. It looks bad that a toy chain as big a Target or Toys “R” Us can’t take the time to make sure that their flyer’s are current and free of recalled products, especially ones that were as high profile as this one.

Nine children in the United States and three in Australia have gotten sick from the tainted kids toy.

Building Blocks Choo Choo Train


As you can tell from the toys I have posted lately, I am looking for stuff that won’t bore my son after just 10 minutes.

The bells and whistles are sometimes only good for a little while because they are predicable. They do the same thing everytime you press the same button.

I like that this train has many different pieces that can be put together to create a new toy everytime.

There are wooden posts to help teach stacking skills and about 25 shapes that can be configured about a million different ways.

This nostalgic wooden toy is made in Thailand. A country known for its safe, beautiful woods and superior wood-working tradition, Thailand is an active member of the International Tropical Timber Organization, a group that’s dedicated to forest conservation and the sustainable management of environmental resources.

Uk Mom Wins The Right To Keep Pregnancy A Secret From Babies Dad


A UK woman who became pregnant after a one-night stand yesterday won the right to keep the existence of her baby a secret from its father.

 

In a landmark decision, three Appeal Court judges agreed that the 20-year-old single mother has “the ultimate veto” over whom should be told about the child, who is being put up for adoption.

The mother, who’s identity is being kept private, hid her pregnancy from her family, colleagues and the father.

 

The baby girl, known only as E, was delivered in June and was left in hospital shortly afterwards.

 

 

The mother she asked for the child to be put up for adoption, but the county court ordered that her parents and the father should be told to give them the opportunity to apply to adopt.

 

Friday, the judges decided the father had no rights over the child, who is now in foster care, because “he was only a one-night stand”.

And they banned the local authority and guardian from taking any steps to identify him or telling him about his daughter.

The mom is said to be 19 and didn’t learn about the pregnancy until a late stage.

 

 

She was unable to bring herself to tell her parents she was pregnant and drove herself to hospital in the middle of the night to have the baby.

 

The judges heard that the pregnancy resulted from a “one-night stand” with a colleague while both were “on the rebound having broken up with long-term partners”.

 

“He is now back with his fiancee, continuing with that relationship and he has no idea she has given birth to his or any other child.”

This dad deserves to know that he has a baby. It is sad that no one even gave him the option to step up and take custody of her.

It is not the judges job to protect this girl from her mistakes. She is supposed to be a neutral body that is appointed to do what is best for the baby. Being in foster care until she is found an adoptive set of parents is not what is best for the baby. The ideal situation is always to be with a family member.

Former Home Secretary David Blunkett, a champion of fathers’ rights after his paternity case over his son by Kimberly Quinn, said: “We as a society should not be expected to be the father and mother of the child when at least one of them has been excluded from accepting responsibility.” “Perhaps the judiciary should take a collection to pay for the arrangements for care and subsequent adoption, because obviously someone pays in such circumstances.”
