A proud new mother is having a breather after giving birth to a baby boy weighing nearly 15lb.

Francisco Leon Ortiz was delivered at Grays Harbour Community Hospital, Washington state, and weighed in at 14lb 11oz. The average newborn weighs about 7lb 8oz.

Francisco's mother, Yessica Ortiz Delgado, already had two other children who were about 12lb each at birth but the mother did not expect her newest to be so large. Both mother and son are doing well.
