CORBIN, Ky. -- A hospital official in Kentucky said a baby girl born Tuesday weighed 14 pounds, 3 ounces.
The baby weighing more than 14 pounds was born in Kentucky.
The National Center for Health Statistics said less than one percent of babies weigh more than 11 pounds at birth.
A nurse at the hospital said the girl was born by Caesarean section [I would certainly hope so! --Ed.] and appeared healthy. She says the baby went home Friday.
The birth of the large infant comes a month after a 13-pound, 12-ounce girl was born in Wisconsin.
Zowee. I have no words. Shrieks, maybe, but not words.
I wonder if they have a state fair contest for such things... they have 'em for purt'near ever-thang else.
