Jessica Simpson gave birth Tuesday afternoon to a 9lb 13oz baby girl, Maxwell Drew Johnson.
Jessica Simpson was seen checking into an L.A. hospital early Tuesday morning with her extended family in tow. As this has been literally and figuratively the longest pregnancy in Hollywood history (she was 10 days overdue, after all) (I’m also prone to hyperbole), we’re all (including Jessica Simpson, for obvious reasons) breathing a little easier now that we don’t have to see her lugging around that massive baby belly every day.
But really, 9lbs 13oz? A few more days cooking and a couple pints of Rocky Road and that little lady would have been an even 10 pounds.
In celebration of the small toddler Jessica Simpson just pushed out her hoo-hah, here is a list of 10 everyday things that weigh 10 pounds.
1. My Thanksgiving turkey
2. Forty sticks of butter
3. A bowling ball
4. Baby Blogworthy at three months old
5. My boobs when I was nursing
6. A sack of potatoes
7. My cat Pepper
8. One and 1/4 gallons of milk (or three two-liters of soda)
9. 1814 pennies
10. About 56 cupcakes. Mmmm, cupcakes.
What did I miss? Share with me on It’s Blogworthy’s Facebook page!

HA! You’re hilarious. I pushed a 9lb 1 oz-er out, so I feel her. It was horrendous and I am praying everyday baby #2 is more around 7 lbs. That will be a cinch (yeah right)
I’m just pissed she took TWO of my favorite boy names – Maxwell and Drew. Really? For a girl!?
Ha! How about, My dog after she ate those three dozen cookies fresh out of the oven last Christmas…
I was also thinking – of course the baby came fast – it was either get out or get squashed!!!

That’s a great list.
As far as newborn babies go, bigger babies feel a little less breakable. Trust me, I know.

My brother was 11 pounds even. I fear the kid I’m about to pop out will be the same. I’m almost as enormous as J.Simp. And have been pregnant almost as long. HELP.
Well, the kid needs to live up to the name Maxi, after all.

I’ll have to check my baby book (the one the pediatrician wrote in, ot the one I made – puaha!) but I’m fairly certain Lil’ Bit didn’t hit 10lbs until six months, maybe? Maybe even later. She was a wee little thing. Still is. And I had to have a c-section because, essentially, in layman’s terms, I don’t have birthing hips. So, a 10lbs baby would have broken me. Literally, not figuratively.
I have a whole new respect for Jessica Simpson.

Ha! Now I’m wondering, did you get 56 cupcakes on a scale and weigh them?
Lots of math and answers from the Google machine

I’ve been waiting for this news – and I hadn’t seen it yet. And I must say – I’ve thought several times when looking at pictures of a hugely pregnant Jessica Simpson that while I was huge, I actually think I wasn’t that huge. And you know how much my last baby weighed? 9 lbs. 14 oz. I thought he was a giant, and I actually told my husband last night that I thought Jessica Simpson would have to have a 12 pound baby based on her size relative to mine.
Um, seriously 1814 pennies. I hope you google’d that & didn’t have that as part of your useless knowledge arsenal. (Although I do now… thankyouverymuch.)
OMG, the 10 things? BRILLIANT.
I love it when you are bitingly funny!

My dad & aunt were each over 10 lbs. I can’t even imagine having something the size of a bowling bowl being pushed out of your hoo-ha.
And the name? I don’t love it. I like boy’s names for girls, but I think she should’ve only used one & balanced it out with a girly girl middle name.
[...] Jessica Simpson finally had her baby. (Thanks, Amanda, for posting about it so quickly so I caught the [...]

Haha! My daughter was a week overdue & weighed 9lbs 8Oz! this list is hilarious!! lol! I host a Tuesday 10 linky and this would be perfect for it! http://mom2memphisandruby.blogspot.ca/2012/05/tuesday-10.html?m=0
SERIOUSLY… I can’t believe how BIG her baby is… it’s shocking! I bet she is totally happy to have that sucker out of there!

So, Jessica gave birth to a 3 month old. Because it feels like she’s been pregnant for a year.
I’m 39 weeks now and I WANT THIS BABY OUT. 10 days overdue will do my head in.
In a way, I’m kinda in awe of her.
Ack, I can’t believe I just wrote that.
My husband weighed 10 lbs 8 oz at birth and his sister, 12 lbs! I hope my future kids do no weight that much!
I hope so too for your sake! Thanks for stopping by

Ha! I have ol’ Jess beat – my last one was 9 lbs 15.6 oz (you better believe I’m claiming the .6 oz), and she was born a week EARLY! Needless to say, my body is totally ruined, whereas Jessica will probably be a size 6 by Friday. Loved your list!
Just had to find out your perspective on Jessica Simpson’s long-awaited baby. I swear she’s been pregnant for eleventeen months! What a clever bunch of info you have handed me today. Thanks! PS opinion on the baby name?
I don’t love it. I don’t mind Maxwell or Drew as girls names, but they needed to be paired with something super feminine. Plus, let’s be honest, she’s gonna be called Maxi pad from 6 to 9th grade.

Holy buckets, that’s a big baby. FORTY sticks of butter? Criminy.
I will never have kids, but thinking about pushing a 10-lb dumbbell out of any hole in my body is enough to solidify that decision. Thank goodness everything went well, but good lord, she was huge and I have to think a small sunami occurred when her water broke.
I straight up laughed out loud when I read that…tsunami…classic!
I couldn’t wait to read what you’d write about her baby! That seriously felt like a marathon pregnancy. I was hurting for her.
Visiting from “more from Blogher”…
This is such a cute post. Love it!
My son was 10-3 (but I had a c-section) I did push out a 9-3 lb baby but I think that was my limit! The nurses joked with me that I had toddlers not newborns.
Thanks for clikin’ through! Mine was 8lbs 11oz and I thought that was bad! He was so fat and swollen though and really slimmed down after that first poop. I’m looking forward to seeing how Maxi Drew stacks up!

Ha! That is hilarious! My youngest son almost weighed that much- 9 pounds, 6 ounces. I felt like he weighed as much as a bowling ball! (Thanks for linking up with us over at #findingthefunny this week!)
My son was 9lbs and he was early!! Another 10 days and who knows how big he would have been!
Woo hoo! You were one of the most clicked links at last week’s #findingthefunny party. Featuring you tomorrow and pinning this to our Pinterest board!
Get your shit straight. She has a C-Section. -____-

[...] Case in point: Jessica Simpson. During her pregnancy, she gained a huge amount of weight – and to my mind, that’s her business. I’m not going to say whether I would or wouldn’t gain a lot of my weight back if I was pregnant, because it seems like one of those things that depends on whether your cravings include cucumbers and lettuce, or pizza and cake.
