Big baby born at Allina's Mercy Hospital near Minnesota record

[Duluth News Tribune, January 05, 2012] Here’s one way to think about Michael Robert Calistro-Gomulak’s birth weight: At 15 pounds, 7 ounces, he weighed more at birth than both of his parents put together when they were born. His is the fourth-largest documented birth in Minnesota history.

Michael, who was born Sept. 28 at Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids, Minn., is the first child for Gina Calistro and the second for his dad, Scott Gomulak. She chose to have the baby delivered at Allina's Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids, where she grew up and knew the doctors.
