World's Smallest Living Baby


Our weekly collaboration with Cellar Image of the Day brings us this amazing image (and story) of Kimberley Mueller, who was just over 10 ounces when she was born, making her the world's smallest surviving baby.
When she was born, 15 weeks premature and weighing ten and a half ounces, her father's confidence was about the only thing on Kimberly Mueller's side.
In the few snatched moments he was allowed before his daughter was whisked away by doctors, Andreas Mueller spoke from his heart. "I whispered to her: 'Kimberly, you'll make it,'" he recalled.
With a survival chance of less than 1,000 to one, every day she has got through since then is a triumph. Six months later, Kimberly has finally been allowed to go home to her parents in Hanover.
