23 Pounds Worth of Baby: A Diet In the Making?

Okay, so I say this in complete jest, but could you imagine shedding over 23 pounds in a single day? That is exactly what one woman did in Winston-Salem, North Carolina last week, when she gave birth. The Maynards gave birth to Sean William Maynard and Abigail Rose Maynard, who weighed in at 10 pounds 14 ounces and 12 pounds 3 ounces, respectively, for a combined weight of 23 pounds and 1 ounce. I had heard of some women experiencing back problems while coming to term, but could you imagine. The only thing scarier is that the combined weight of the Maynards fall about four pounds shy of the world record established in 1927 for the heaviest set of twins, which weighed in at a total combined weight of 27 pounds 12 ounces.

Welcome back Kevin! I think the Maynards did a great job of naming their son. :)

Thanks! While the name is nice, I definitly think the Maynards have their hands full for awhile. How big were you Sean?

I was over 8 pounds (or slightly less than either Maynard kid).
