An expecting Pennsylvania woman who reportedly went a couple of weeks past her due date ended up nearly breaking the state record by giving birth last week to a 13-pound, 8.5 oz baby. Wow, that's one GIANT baby boy!
Apparently, Danielle Dwyer and her husband were told the baby would most likely be around 9 to 10 pounds—already a larger size than the average newborn. But they never imagined their son would end up weighing in at an almost whopping 14 pounds! At that weight, doctors say little Waldo James Mysterious Dwyer almost broke the state record (Ah! Can you believe that there was an even bigger baby?!). Just wait 'til you see his photo after the jump!

Dwyer gave birth to her not-so-little baby Waldo via C-section, a couple of weeks after the original due date. It's unclear why she wasn't induced, although some doctors do allow patients to go a max of two weeks past their due date before speeding the process.
"He had a little extra time in there to cook, to grow. It seems as though he is so peaceful," the mom told ABC6.
Thankfully, both mom and baby are doing just fine.
Yeesh, 13 pounds! Well, C-section or not, I definitely Dwyer deserves a round of applause! Still, she isn't the only brave mommy to welcome a larger-than-life baby. Below, check out a picture of Waldo at birth, along with some other record-breaking babies:
