'Big Bundle Of Joy': Newborn Weighs 6 Kgs, Can Fit Into Outfits Made For 6-9 Month Olds
Rendering his newborn clothing useless, Patonai said her family had to run out and buy larger diapers and clothes to dress Finnley. ¡°I wanted him to fit in the clothes we had saved from his other two brothers, but everything we had was entirely too small,¡± she said.
An Arizona couple welcomed their bundle of joy on Oct 4 and this bundle was bigger than usual. Cary and Tim Patonai welcomed son Finnley, who weighed in at 6.4 kgs (14.1 pounds), according to FOX NEWS.
¡°My water broke on the scale as I was getting weighed, so my scheduled C-section got moved up a day,¡± said Cary Patonai, who gave birth to her son at 38 weeks at the Bammer Thunderbird Medical Center in Glendale, Ariz.
The most incredible thing about Finnley is that he can already fit into clothes that are made for 6-9-month-old babies. Doctors even told them that he could weigh around 5 kgs.
But baby Finnley turned out to be a whole kg heavier. The average weight of a newborn is around 3-3.6 kgs.
Rendered his newborn clothing useless
"As soon as they pulled him out, they're like, 'oh my gosh, that's huge!' Everybody was freaking out like I've never seen a baby that big I can't believe it. So perfect and round in every way. He's definitely my squishy little honey bear," Cary told Fox 10.
Finnley is the third child of the Patonai clan, with older brothers Devlen, 10, and Everett, 2, who were also delivered via C-section. Finnley spent eight days in the NICU, before being sent home to his elated family.

Similar incident from back in May
The doctor who delivered him said he hadn't delivered a baby as big as Finnley in his 30-year career. Back in May, a 27-year-old woman was left stunned after giving birth to a baby boy who weighed 5.4 kgs (12 pounds) and measured 2-feet tall.
According to reports, Zagrys was so big that he wouldn't fit on the weighing scales and needed 'two people to lift him out'. Amy, who is now a mum-of-two, said that it took two people to lift Zagrys, who they call Zeik, out of her during the Caesarean section because of his size and weight.
Incredibly, he was almost twice the size of an average newborn.
