Florida woman gives birth to 14.1-pound baby boy

But that didn’t stop little Avery Ford from coming into the world at a whopping 14.1 pounds.

“When I felt his head come out, I knew he was bigger than 10 pounds,” Maxxzandra Ford told CNN affiliate WFTS. “I was cussing up a storm.”

Avery has set the record for the heaviest baby ever born at St. Joseph’s Women’s Hospital in Tampa. In fact, he is one of the largest ever born in Florida.

That honor goes to an Italian baby born in 1955. He weighed 22 pounds and 8 ounces.
