MAMMA MIA – THAT’S SOME BIG BABY

Isaiah Lawrence Johnson was born Friday at UF Health Shands Hospital weighing 14 pounds, 7.6 ounces and measuring 22½ inches. He is one of the largest babies ever born at the hospital, staff said.

Isaiah was born by cesarean section at 11:23 a.m. — seven days before his due date. Mother and child were doing well and are expected to be discharged Monday, just in time for Christmas. The baby’s due date was Dec. 27.

“It seems like it took them forever to get him out,” said McNelley, 30, from the labor and delivery unit at Shands on Friday.
