Meet Amillia Taylor - or what she looked like in October, when she was born as the world's youngest surviving premature baby. Amillia was born at a Miami hospital after less than 22 weeks of development. Since then she's been incubating and is expected to go home soon.
Is there nothing more amazing than those teeny tiny translucent feet. Hold your own hand out in front of you, and imagine those feet poking through your fingers. She was 10 OUNCES when born (280 grams), and 9.5 inches (240 cm). That's just longer than the length of your hand.
Now she looks like this:

There is hope for preemies with today's medicine. My grandson was born at 26 weeks, and is now 3 years, 4 months. Very healthy, and a terror!

There is definitely hope for the tiny ones! Our oldest daughter was born at 25 weeks weighing 795 grams (1 lb 12oz). She is going to be 13 next month and not a thing wrong with her!

Saw this on the news as well. Amazing how small the baby is. Hopefully doesnt have any issues later on in life.
