“The belly was getting bigger and bigger. It was like she had a huge beach ball and it was getting more and more inflated,” said the baby’s dad.

Chrissy and Larry Corbitt were about to become parents for the fifth time and they received the news with excitement. They were beyond happy for the new addition to the family and prepared everything for the big arrival. However, there was something they found quite strange, and that was Chrissy’s belly that seemed quite big. Actually, it was way bigger compared to her previous pregnancies.

The couple was a bit concerned at first, assuming something might be wrong with the baby, and then though they could be expecting twins. However, after the check up at the doctor’s, none of it turned to be the reason. They were told there was only one baby and it was perfectly healthy, just a bit bigger than they expected.

But when the time for the delivery came, Chrissy gave birth via C-section, because what was supposed to be a big baby, was in fact huge. The mother recalls how her first thought after seeing the baby was that it resembled a toddler, not a newborn. She even joked, saying Inside Edition “When they held her around the curtain for me I just couldn’t believe how big she was. I felt like I was looking at a toddler, I was like oh my God, she’s gonna walk to the nursery.”

They named the beautiful girl Carleigh and she was a miracle baby. The hospital’s staff said how they have never in their career or life seen such a huge baby. While it was still in her mother’s stomach, the doctors believed it weighted around 10 pounds, but they couldn’t be more wrong. When the nurses weighted the baby, 13 pounds five ounces popped up on the scale’s screen.

Carleigh didn’t fit the baby diapers nor all those clothes her parents bought for her. Instead, they had another shopping trip and bought clothing for a nine-month-old child.

We congratulate the Corbitt’s for their baby daughter and we are so happy she is a healthy baby with a great life ahead.
