LaQueena Hunter Grover, a new mom from Louisiana, was expecting twins but gave birth to a big baby boy instead. Her baby weighed a little over 14 pounds when he was born.

Grover's two older children weighed a little over 7 pounds, while her third child was 11.9 pounds. Her baby bump was noticeably larger compared to her three previous pregnancies.

Grover's Huge Baby Bump

The friends and family of the 43-year-old mother are aware of her abnormally large bump.

"People would come up to me and say, 'Oh I think that's twins or even triplets," Grover said in an interview with WDSU news.

To everyone's surprise, Grover gave birth to just one baby who weighs more than the usual mass of a newborn. The mom of four said she almost passed out when she heard the news and recalled her husband's reaction upon seeing their baby boy for the first time.

"Right when the doctor was taking him out, my husband's mouth literally just dropped," Grover said.

Born Dec. 6, 2016, at the Tulane Lakeside Hospital in Metairie, Loyalty Adonis Grover weighed 14.1 pounds and 22 inches long. Due to an unreported condition, Loyalty spent a total of 27 days in the neonatal intensive care unit before he was sent home.

Today, Loyalty is more than a month old and is already 2 feet tall and weighs 15 pounds. "Big Chunk," as his mother calls him, is also starting to show his personality.

"He acts like the Incredible Hulk when he does not get what he wants," Grover said.

Just like Loyalty's parents, his big brother is also extremely delighted to welcome the big and healthy baby boy to the family.

"My momma LaQueena Hunter-Grover and my newest baby brother, Big Chunk made the news," Loyalty's brother Stephon Hunter said in a Facebook post along with photos of the baby. "Look at his big handsome self like his 3 big brothers." 

It is unclear whether or not an ultrasound was conducted to determine the sex of the baby or the number of the fetus during Grover's pregnancy. Some parents opt for a surprise gender reveal and forego ultrasound to avoid spoilers. Some deliberately refuse any medical treatment such as MRI with the belief that it may harm the baby.

Meanwhile, the world's smallest baby, dubbed as the "Little Fighter," was born in Germany.
