"We knew he'd be bigger, but we didn't expect this. He's already wearing 3 to 6 month diapers and clothes. It feels like I skipped straight to having a three-month-old."
"These two births are a wonderful reminder that every baby and every birth story is unique. Whether a newborn weighs four pounds or thirteen, our teams are prepared to provide the highest level of care to both baby and family."
"It was really charming and such a good reminder that babies come in all shapes and sizes. We're proud of the exceptional maternity care delivered at Cayuga Health, one of our valued affiliates, and honored to support families through moments like these."
Terrica and Shawn welcomed their son Shawn Jr. on January 31 at Cayuga Medical Center in Ithaca, New York, weighing 13 pounds—the largest baby ever born at the hospital. The parents anticipated a larger-than-average newborn but were surprised by the exceptional size. Shawn Jr. is already wearing 3 to 6-month-sized diapers and clothes. The hospital highlighted the birth alongside another newborn, 4-pound Margot, born the same day, emphasizing that babies come in all shapes and sizes. Hospital staff praised their preparedness to provide exceptional care for all newborns, regardless of size.
