An Arlington baby broke hospital records, weighing nearly 15 pounds at birth. Baby boy Ali is a gift the Medlock family once thought they’d never receive. Now, Ali is nearly twice the size of an average newborn, weighing 14 pounds 13 ounces. He broke the record at Arlington Memorial Hospital. Ali was born via C-section. Jennifer said she had a very healthy pregnancy; however, Ali did spend a week in the NICU because his blood sugar and platelettes were low. “It doesn’t matter how big he is, I’m so blessed,” said Jennifer. Ali was a blessing in many ways for the Medlocks. Jennifer has severe polycystic ovarian syndrome.Doctors told them having a family would be a long shot. “We tried anyway and prayed,” she said.

yay. nice to see people having kids. Ya’ll freepers auta try it.
What’s with naming the boy Ali? Isn’t that a muslim name?
And Texas and Texas A&M football coaches are already falling over each other trying to get the baby to commit.
That’s gonna leave a mark.
Yeah. Been there and done that.
That’s the last name.
Wonder if mom’s diabetic. Diabetes can lead to unusually large birth weights.
And then I re-read it. Sorry.
What I want to know is did the kid walk home from the hospital? Or did he ride his ten-speed?
Mine were less than half that size. Glad it was a C section.
Well, the mom looks about twice as large as well, so just sayin'.
The parent’s last name is Medlock.
Mother to two great sons and four awesome grandkids. No more babies for me unless I can feed them cupcakes and give them back, lol!
I hear Dabo Swinney made an in=home visit for him to commit to Clemson in 2036.
No way an Aggie or Longhorn coach would try to recruit a lineman....both schools are into Quarterbacks and receivers.
-——What’s with naming the boy Ali? Isn’t that a muslim name?-——
Parents are forward thinking.....
When he grows up, his name will fit right in at school...
He is a good looking baby-future football player, maybe...
Both parents look overweight-double chins and all-and being obese in pregnancy is not good at all for mom or cub-wonder if that had anything to do with the kid’s size?
What the hell is this “Ali” crap? Aren’t these people Americans? Don’t they realize that “islam” is trying to destroy us?
Everything’s bigger in Texas
