HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) — A woman has given birth to a boy weighing in at 14 pounds, 4 ounces in Hutchinson.

Moses William Hilton arrived 11 days early on June 2 at the Hutchinson Regional Medical Center. He was delivered by C-section and was 22 inches long.

Gina Hilton said she knew she was carrying a big baby because both of her and her husband’s daughters weighed around 9 pounds at birth.

Jill White, nursing director of the hospital’s birthing unit, tells the Hutchinson News Moses was the largest baby that had been delivered in her nine years of working at the hospital.

Hospital officials say that Moses is healthy and will remain at the hospital for a day or two more before going home.
