Hospital in Norwich, Conn., Wednesday, Sept. 13,
2006.

Oh baby! Marie Michel's fifth child was one for the record books.
Michel gave birth to a 14-pound, 13-ounce boy last Tuesday at William W.
Backus Hospital, Connecticut.
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 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."

哦，天哪！瑪利亞·米歇爾的第五個孩子可以載入世界紀錄大全了。上周二，米歇爾在康涅狄格州的威廉姆·W·巴克斯醫院產下一名重14鎊13盎司（約13斤5兩）的男嬰。
巴克斯醫院的官員說，這個取名為史蒂文·亨得里克斯·路易斯-瓊的男嬰身長近23英寸，打破了18年前在此出生的一名嬰兒創下的紀錄，比他（她）重1磅1盎司。
大衛·卡拉醫生給米歇爾做了剖腹產手術，她說：“這個孩子壯得像個后衛球員?！?
36歲的米歇爾懷胎九個月生下史蒂文，她說，別看這小家伙現在這么“風光”，我生他可是吃了不少苦。
米歇爾說：“我真的很可憐，晚上沒法睡覺，上床下床都得靠我13歲的兒子?！?
不過，史蒂文的"身段"并沒有讓他的媽媽米歇爾感到驚訝。米歇爾的大兒子出生時重9磅、8歲的孿生子出生時各重8.5磅、3歲的小兒子出生時重近12磅。
米歇爾的丈夫維京斯·路易斯-瓊是一名卡車司機，他得知兒子出生的消息后，專門從佛羅里達趕了回來。
史蒂文出生還不到一天，就得穿6個月大孩子的衣服，而且嬰兒尿布對他來說也太小了。
米歇爾說：“我買了一些嬰兒衣服，但我覺得史蒂文肯定穿不下，我想我得把這些衣服給退了?！?/P>
