Community Hospital officials report that a 14-pound, 11-ounce baby boy was delivered at the hospital’s birth center last week.
Hospital officials say the average newborn baby weighs 7-1/2 pounds at birth.
The child, Francisco Leon Ortiz, has two siblings who were larger than average at birth, but hospital officials said their mother, Yessica Ortiz Delgado, wasn’t expecting her newest to be quite so big.
The baby was born on Dec. 2, at 8:21 a.m. at the Grays Harbor Community Hospital Family Birth Center. Dr. Nicholas Hallak (Hallak Medical Group) delivered the child.
“We deliver babies of all sizes, but it is not every day that we deliver and care for a baby as large as Francisco” said Barbara, director of the hospital’s birth center.
The baby’s father, Francisco Leon Diaz, had to run out and buy new clothes for their son since the clothes they brought were for an average sized newborn.
Both the mother and the baby are doing well and Francisco is alert. The family will return to their home in Raymond very soon, hospital officials said.
