BARNAUL, Russia - A Siberian woman who gave birth to her 12th child - doing more than her fair share to stem Russia's population decline - was stunned to find that little Nadia weighed in at a massive 17 pounds, 1 ounce or 7.7 kg.

Nadia was delivered by Caesarean section in the local maternity hospital in the Altai region on September 17, joining eight sisters and three brothers, a local reporter said.

'We were all simply in shock,' said Nadia's mother, Tatyana Barabanova, 43.
'What did the father say? He couldn't say a thing - he just stood there blinking.'
