A hospital has revealed the birth of a whopping 13.2 pound baby.
Entering into the world just in time for Independence Day on 4 July, a 13.2 lbs (5.9kg) baby was born at Williamson Medical Center in Franklin, US earlier this week.
But is the baby the largest to have ever been born?
According to the Guinness World Records, the largest baby - on record - to have ever been born was similarly in the United States.
On 19 January, 1879, a woman named Giantess Anna Bates gave birth to a boy weighing a mega 22 pounds (9.98kg) and measuring an impressive 71.12cm (28in).

And it indeed seems babies are continuing to get bigger and bigger.

At the age of 19 months, Xaylen Asher Richard even fit into his four-year-old brother's clothes.
The mum said: "It was insane how fast he grew. He was above the 100 percentile every time we went to the doctor. It was hilarious the first time we went to the doctor when he had his two week check up. She asked us if were sure we had the right baby as he always looked older for his age.
"I was concerned for his health as I wondered if it was healthy for baby to be as fat as he was and she said everything was perfect."

"He was like a toddler. He was massive. My husband saw him and just said ‘he's a chunky boy’ as he was stunned.
"All the midwives gasped when they saw Teddie come out and I wished I had filmed my family members expressions when they met him for the first time."
