A Florida woman can breathe a sigh of relief after giving birth to a whopping 13-pound, 5-ounce baby girl on May 15 at Orange Park Medical Center.
When Chrissy Corbitt of Florida went into her fourth and final pregnancy, she wasn’t planning on going out with a bang. However, she did just that when she gave birth to a toddler-sized baby!
Chrissy Corbitt is no stranger to big babies. This mother’s first two children arrived weighing 9 and 10 pounds, respectively. Even so, during her fourth pregnancy, Chrissy Corbitt never expected a baby quite so big!
During the pregnancy, Chrissy’s belly just kept growing and growing.
“The belly was getting bigger and bigger,” Chrissy’s husband Larry explained. “It was like she had a huge beach ball and it was getting more and more inflated.”
Even with her massive pregnant belly, her newborn daughter’s weight came as a shock.
In 2017, Chrissy went into labor about a week before her due date. And as not-so-little Carleigh Corbitt made her appearance via c-section, no one could believe it!
“When the baby was coming out, I was like, ‘Is this baby ever going to end?'” Dr. Eric Edelenbos joked.
At first, the medical staff’s reaction had Chrissy baffled.
“I heard everybody cheering in the operating room,” she said. “I’ve never had that happen before.”
And after having already delivered three babies before, Chrissy was curious about this first. And one peek at her newborn left Chrissy equally blown away by her super-sized miracle!
“When the pediatrician showed her to me across the curtain, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, she’s huge,'” Chrissy Corbitt said. “I couldn’t believe it. It was like I delivered a toddler.”
The proud parents’ beautiful daughter, Carleigh Corbitt, arrived weighing 13 pounds, 5 ounces. She’s actually the biggest baby Chrissy’s OB-GYN has ever delivered!
But, of course, Chrissy and her husband were just glad their gorgeous newborn daughter was here and healthy!
Carleigh was already wearing baby clothes made for a 9-month-old when she returned for her 3-week checkup. But she was happy and healthy and that’s what mattered most to her proud parents, who have already said this would be their last pregnancy.
“We went out with a bang,” Larry joked. “This is our last kid.”
And while Carleigh never got to use much of her newborn items, Chrissy and Larry donated them at church. And in spite of much ado about Carleigh’s weight, giving birth to a toddler-sized baby turns out not to be all that different. Baby Carleigh Corbitt’s proud parents enjoyed those precious moments of snuggles just as much!
“She’s just a happy baby, she smiles all the time,” Chrissy said. “I can’t get enough of her.”
