I have been in search of a few more blogs to add to my daily reading and in my looking, I came across this article from www.lifenews.com. I think that I also heard something about it on AOL, but hadn't seen the actual data until yesterday.

Being a preemie myself, I am always thrilled when I can read about a little one first of all surviving, and then going home after being born early. My mom always talks about what a great day that was to finally bring me home after months in the hospital. It was a relief and a worry to finally be my mom without all of the nurses around.

Here is the info about little baby Amillia Taylor. And I mean little!

Taylor was just 284 grams (10 ounces) and 24 centimeters (9.25 inches) long when she was born and doctors typically say that babies weighing less than 400 grams have very little change of surviving.

Her mother, 37 year-old Sonja Taylor, faced fertility issues and used in-vitro fertilization to conceive Amillia. But she battled problems throughout the pregnancy.

Mother delivered baby at 21 weeks on October 24 and Amillia was barely breathing. Her parents named her for a Latin word meaning "resilient, fighter, hardworking."

Dr. William Smalling told the Associated Press on Monday that physicians treating Amillia "weren't too optimistic. But she proved us all wrong."

"She's going to be in a normal crib, she's going to have normal feedings, she's taking all her feedings from a bottle," Smalling said.

Could you imagine shopping for someone so tiny? Even the preemie clothes would be insanely huge on her. I remember that my mom said at the time I was brought home, my grandmother had sewn me some very small sleepers and they had also found some doll's clothes that fit. I hope that her parent's know someone who sews.
