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.

After nine months of carrying Stephon, 36-year-old Michel said she was more tired and happy to have given birth than all the attention her baby was receiving.

"I was miserable," Michel said. "I couldn't sleep at night. My 13-year-old son had to help me get in and out bed."

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.

Less than 24 hours old, the baby was fitting into clothes for a 6-month-old and was too big for newborn diapers.

"I have baby clothes but I don't think they will be able to fit," Michel said. "I think I will have to return them."

Wow, he will be like 7 or 8 feet when he grows up; too bad that he will have a shorter life expectancy because of his height

I was 8 pounds, 8 ounces when I was born and now I'm like, 5' 11" and weigh about 130 (wish it were less). Most people weigh less than that though when they are born. You'd think I would be fat hahaha.

The baby isn't FAT... he just grew too quickly thus the fact that he can't fit into newborn clothes. Obviously the genetics in that family cause the babies to mature quickly in the womb. Fortunately for the mother, though... it was (if I counted correctly) her fourth birth, not that that matters too much since it was a C-section... but even so.

I don't think it's the worlds biggest baby, just the biggest baby born at Conn. Hospital.
