Nearly 15-pound baby born in Columbia

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- A baby boy weighing 14 pounds, 6.4 ounces may have set a record at a mid-Missouri hospital.

Doctors were expecting Colten Levi Swanigan to weigh from 11 to 12 pounds at birth. But Donny Swanigan and Roxanne Giordano weren't prepared for the number on the Boone Hospital Center scale Sunday after their son's cesarean delivery.

Both used the word "shock." Colten is the weight of a normal 4-month-old.

It is not known if Colten set a state record. Records show only 1.5 percent of babies born in Missouri weigh more than 9 pounds, 15 ounces.

Giordano says the joke at the hospital was that her son had a twin he ate. The couple's two other children topped 10 pounds at birth.
