Big Things in Small Packages

As my friend Kelly put it, ouch:

An Omaha woman has given birth to a 14-pound, 3-ounce girl.

Jirong Long required a Caesarean section to deliver Virginia Wenjing You on Nov. 26. Virginia is the largest baby delivered at Creighton University Medical Center in its 130-year history, spokesman Ed Finan said.
...
Long is about 5 feet 4. She weighed 130 pounds before her pregnancy and peaked at 192 while she was expecting.

While people tend to overcharacterize birth as a "miracle", I'd say this one more or less fits the bill.
