A woman in Colombia is recovering in the hospital after giving birth to a baby girl weighing more than 13 pounds.
Baby Angelly was delivered by Cesarean-section in northern Colombia and tips the scale at 13 pounds and two ounces, that's the the average size of a four-month-old.
Doctors are trying to figure out why the girl is so large. Angelly is now receiving oxygen due to breathing problems and is receiving nutrients via an i-v but other than that, medical staff say she is in good health.

Obama 08 4 Prez I agree with you 100% I always catch myself watching someone elses kids when they say somethng funny! My kids talk to their kids and before you know it you feel like your part of the conversation. Then you have met another mom in our society! We have something in common, kids the terrable two, the worse year of threes and ohh of course potty training! Good luck to mom and her big baby girl. Im sure she is beautiful. Love for your children is like no other love.

Thanks for the chuckles, everybody! I have had only 1 daughter (my little peanut, 5lb, 2oz, 19 in. --she is now topping the charts for height and weight), and I can only wish the parents of big babies the best and LOTS of recovery time!

A big congratulations to this Mom! I too had a 13lb 14oz and 24inches in length son 26 years ago. Today he is 6foot 8inches tall and very lean. He was a natural delivery, extremely painful and 2 weeks late. The doctor knew he would be possibly larger and should have done a C-section. My first son was 10lb 4oz. Large babies run in our family per my parents, my brother and I were both app. 7kilos each (all from Europe). Being this large he was very hard to lift into the car, he was wearing large diapers and clothing instantly and had to be fed baby cereal via bottle syringe from the second day since he was so hungry he screamed me out of the house and car. The older boy too was fed cereal from the second week on. Milk was never enough for either of them. Both boys were totally healthy and I never had diabetes or anything else as the doctors seemed to suspect when one has large children.
