Marie Michel holds her newborn baby Stephon Hendrix Louis-Jean at Backus 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！玛利亚米歇尔的第五个孩子可以载入世界纪录大全了。上周二，米歇尔在康涅狄格州的威廉姆W巴克斯医院产下一名重14镑13盎司（约13斤5两）的男婴。
巴克斯医院的官员说，这个取名为史蒂文亨得里克斯路易斯-琼的男婴身长近23英寸，打破了18年前在此出生的一名婴儿创下的纪录，比他（她）重1磅1盎司。
大卫卡拉医生给米歇尔做了剖腹产手术，她说："这个孩子壮得像个后卫球员。"
36岁的米歇尔怀胎九个月生下史蒂文，她说，别看这小家伙现在这么"风光"，我生他可是吃了不少苦。
米歇尔说："我真的很可怜，晚上没法睡觉，上床下床都得靠我13岁的儿子。"
不过，史蒂文的"身段"并没有让他的妈妈米歇尔感到惊讶。米歇尔的大儿子出生时重9磅、8岁的孪生子出生时各重8.5磅、3岁的小儿子出生时重近12磅。
米歇尔的丈夫维京斯路易斯-琼是一名卡车司机，他得知儿子出生的消息后，专门从佛罗里达赶了回来。
史蒂文出生还不到一天，就得穿6个月大孩子的衣服，而且婴儿尿布对他来说也太小了。
米歇尔说："我买了一些婴儿衣服，但我觉得史蒂文肯定穿不下，我想我得把这些衣服给退了。"
