Axel LaVerne '15 pound baby'

Some numbers are just too big to register. It was like that when Wendi Dolton heard a doctor say the number '15.6' moments after giving birth to her third child on Monday. She thought at first he was referring to the time. The Racine, Minnesota parents named their baby boy Axel LaVerne.

For now Axel is in neonatal intensive care at St. Mary's Hospital in Rochester. His parents say he's being monitored for a heart condition associated with premature birth. That's right. Alex arrived by Cesarean section, three weeks early.
