Yikes! A Connecticut woman gives birth to a big’un[*1] :
NORWICH, Conn. – Oh baby! Marie Michel’s fifth child was one for the record books. Michel gave birth to a 14-pound, 13-ounce boy Tuesday at William W. Backus Hospital.
Backus officials said the newborn — Stephon Hendrix Louis-Jean — broke the 18-year record for the biggest baby ever born at the hospital by 1 pound, 13 ounces. He was nearly 23 inches long.
“He’s built like a linebacker,” said Dr. David Kalla, who delivered the baby by Caesarean section.
