A Florida mom got a huge surprise last month when she gave birth to a 13.5-pound baby. Christine Corbitt said her first two babies were 9 and 10 pounds, and figured the newest addition wouldn’t be more than that.
Carleigh Brooke Corbitt surprised her mother and the doctor and weighed in at nearly 14 pounds -- the largest newborn that Dr. Eric Edelenbos has delivered.
“When the baby was coming out, I was like, 'Is this baby ever going to end?' Everybody in the room kind of just stopped during the delivery and was like, 'Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh,'” he said.
Carleigh stayed in the NICU after she was born to get blood sugar levels checked, but was later given the all-clear to go home. At a three-week checkup, the baby appeared to be happy and healthy. Corbitt said she plans on taking some much-needed rest.
“When the doctor was pulling her out of me I just start hearing them all laughing and excited in the operating room,” Chrissy said. 
“They were throwing out numbers and when they showed her to me and said 13.5, I couldn’t believe it” 
“We even contacted Pampers and Huggies to help us out because everything we got to prepare is just out the door. None of it fits” 
Carleigh weighed 13 pounds and 5 ounces when she was born – that’s almost double the weight of an average newborn.
