Oh, baby.
A mother in China gave birth to a nearly 16-lb. boy, possibly setting the all-time record for the country's biggest baby.
Chun Chun, weighing in at 15.5 lbs., was born Saturday in the city of Xinxiang, in Henan province, reports the U.S.-based Chinese news service NTDTV.
"This baby is twice as heavy as a normal baby," said Shang Lili, a maternity centre worker, in the report.
"My wife was no different from other pregnant women. She ate and drank normally as she should, but she's given birth to such a big, fat son," proud papa Han Jingang told the news channel, and said he's happy Chun Chun is a "dragon baby," born just as the Year of the Dragon begins.
Mother Wang Yujuan, 29, said she'd felt "more clumsy" than when she was pregnant with her daughter.
"I guessed the baby would be between 10 and 11 pounds. I never expected to hear that he weighs 15.5," she said.
Three babies weighing 15 lbs. were reportedly born in China between 2008 and 2010. Those were the record at the time.
