OMAHA, Nebraska (AP) -- An Omaha woman has given birth to a 14-pound, 3-ounce girl -- the biggest baby born at Creighton University Medical Center in its 130-year history.
Jirong Long required a Caesarean section Wednesday to deliver Virginia Wenjing You.
The Guinness Book of World Records says the largest baby ever delivered was a boy weighing 23 pounds, 12 ounces in Seville, Ohio, in 1879.
Long, a Creighton genetics research fellow, says the size of her daughter is amazing considering she and her husband are not big people.
Long is about five-feet, four-inches. She weighed 130 pounds before her pregnancy and peaked at 192 while she was expecting.
Her husband is about five-nine and weighs 160 pounds.
Virginia already is wearing six-month-old-sized clothing.
