14-pound baby boy an extra-large delivery
Norwich ? Oh baby: Marie Michel’s fifth child was one for the record books.
Michel, 36, gave birth to a 14-pound, 13-ounce boy Tuesday at William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich.
Backus officials said the newborn – Stephon Hendrix Louis-Jean, above with his mom – 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.
The baby’s size came as no surprise to his mom. Michel’s oldest son weighed 9 pounds at birth, her 8-year-old twin sons each weighed 8 1/2 pounds and her youngest son, age 3, was nearly 12 pounds.
Michel’s husband, Vijens Louis-Jean, a truck driver, was coming from Florida to see his son.
