I don’t know who that is but that is one big baby! I wonder if she had gestational diabetes because babies are rarely that large.

I really like the name Bay, it’s different without being weird. Very original and it’s a nature name which I love.

I PRAY she had a c-section.

Was it a girl or a boy? Judging by the name, I’d guess it was a boy, but you never know these days!!

hey in answer to the above question i seem to remember reading somewhere that she has diabetes, like all the time not just gestational

that is the exact same size my cousin was when he was born…my aunt did it with no c-section!

Alicia, it’s a boy. If you look under the story, it is categorized by it’s a boy or it’s a girl, so you’ll always be able to tell!

Holy big baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the name. It’s different without being too complicated or weird. I looked both up on behindthename.com. They didn’t have Bay, but they said Atlas means “not enduring” from Greek.

That is one huge baby!! I wonder if he was overdue? I was 9lbs. 3oz, and 12 days overdue.

Big baby, isn’t that a marking type for a horse?

Anyway, congrats and I like her show Location Location Location!

The name is nice, Bay is cute but i prefer it as a nickname for Bailey.
Atlas means “not enduring”. Its from Greek mythology.

Poor Atlas had to support the world on his shoulders — a strong but not a happy name. Around here, the San Francisco Bay Area, too many business names start with “Bay” for it to be a cute name (think Bay Plumbing or Bay Taxi).

In the Mail on Sunday it had that she had a caesarian.

I think Bay Atlas is a pretty cool name, though I can see how Bay might sound strange in some areas (as Nicole R. said).
