A Florida woman and her baby have broken a county record, according to a USA Today report.

Chrissy Corbitt gave birth to baby Carleigh, who weighed in at 13 pounds, 5 ounces at birth.

Carleigh’s father, Larry, of Keystone, told USA Today he could hear doctors saying “oh my gosh,” as they delivered his daughter.

Hospital personnel told Larry that Carleigh was the largest baby girl born in Clay County, according to USA Today. The largest baby boy was about 2 ounces bigger.

Carleigh was the couple’s fifth child, and all four before here weighed between 8 and 10 pounds, according to USA Today.

Larry told USA Today that Carleigh is happy and healthy and has gained 5 ounces since birth.

The biggest baby was a boy born weighing 22 pounds in Seville, Ohio, in 1879, according to Guinness World Records.
