Guam Mom Welcomes 14lb 5oz Baby!


Janice Perez has been the talk of the town and the hospital since giving birth to her eighth baby on Monday.

Jayvin Jon Perez arrived weighing 14 pounds 5 ounces.

“As far as anyone can remember, this is the biggest baby ever born here at Guam Memorial,” Janice’s physician, Dr. F. Christopher Bieling, said Monday morning after the delivery.

The new mom told reporters that

“People were always asking me, ‘Are you going to have twins? Are you sure?’ It sure felt like twins.”

Any baby heavier than 9 pounds 4 ounces is considered to have Macrosomia, commonly called Big Baby Syndrome. An ultrasound predicted that Jayvin would be weigh about 11 pounds, which is already an alarming size.

At birth, Jayvin was so large that it was a tight squeeze even with the surgery.

The baby is currently in an incubator in the hospital nursery on oxygen. He is but in good condition, but surrounded by babies half his size.

“First, he’s cranky. He does not like being in that thing because he doesn’t fit,” Perez said. “Second — I can already tell — he loves to eat.”

“He’s a big little boy,” Perez said. “He’s a miracle baby.”

Product Review: My Baby Nest Baby Carrier


I recently had the pleasure of trying out the Baby Nest Baby Carrier. The product is unique because it looks like a sling or a wrap, but isn’t. It carries your baby in the same close and intimate nature without all of the frustration of having to wrap your baby up with long never ending straps.

Each Baby Nest Carrier comes with the carrier, which is two pieces of fabric looped together, a sash that can be used for extra support and a carrier bag. It is made of a soft cotton from Europe that is machine washable.

Each carrier is designed to hold a child weighing between 5 and 35lbs, with parents having the choice of 5 comfortable positions to hold their precious cargo in.

My son weighs 22lbs and does not like to be in traditional carrier positions. I like the side ‘hip position’ because it allows him to still be carried conventionally, but with support so that my hands are free to pay for my groceries, eat my lunch or hold stuff for him. The sash allows me to have extra support when my son sees something he wants and is moving in the opposite direction.

Parents will find that their choices for carrying baby will not be limited. In fact this carrier will accommodate you in most situations including discreet breast feeding, tummy to tummy and the forward facing front position.

Manipulating the carrier into the desired position takes a bit of time and patience, but The Baby Nest website has step by step instructions for parents who need some assistance. Once you have mastered the basics, you will probably find positions that are not listed on your own.

The Baby Nest Carrier comes in 5 colors and 3 sizes. Each carrier is sized to fit the individual parent. Not sure which size to get? The official site has sizing information to help.

The carrier normally retails for 59.90. Baby Nest is extending a 10% discount to all Growing Your Baby readers. Simply put in the promotion code ‘grow’ at check out to receive this special.
