(CBS/AP)  Paul conceded to Smith that the pregnancy was rough – on him: "I never really realize how much Robin does around the house until she stops doing it. Everything here pretty much ground to a halt. And I was very tired. And very worried for her. So I'm very glad to have everyone back home and together again, with the new addition."

When Cameron was born, Paul said he posted a sign on the door that said "Home of the Whopper." When their second child was born, Paul put up a sign describing her as "Whopper Jr."

With the birth of the "Big Enchilada," the Buzzells say their family is now complete.

"This will be the last one," Paul says.

He joked that "We should make something up" to explain the size of the couple's three children at birth.

The child weighs near double the average newborn. And according to the National Center for Health Statistics, less than 1 percent of babies weigh more than 11 pounds at birth.

Nurse Nadolski said carrying the baby in her arms was like holding a 4- or 5-month-old infant. The diapers and baby T-shirts also were a little on the snug side.

"It was ready for a steak," the nurse said. "It had quite an appetite."
