How would you like to give birth to a baby that weighed in at on tenth your own body weight? Well that’s just what Eloysa Vasquez did. Ms. Vasquez “suffers from Type 3 osteogenesis imperfecta, a disorder that makes bones soft and brittle.” Her new-born son was delivered by Caesarean section eight weeks before his due date. Timothy, as he has been named, came into this world weighing only 3 pounds 7 ounces. Before she became pregnant, Timmy’s three-foot tall mom weighed only 37 pounds. Timothy did not inherit his mother’s genetic condition. From the size of his fingers and toes, mom and dad (Roy) figure he’s going to be a big boy when he grows up.
