After struggling to conceive a child for almost nine years, Jessica and Chris Hill, of Lakeland, Florida, welcomed their “micro preemie” baby boy on May 21, 2019. The baby, named Finn James Hill, weighed just 1 pound, 2 ounces (approx. 510 g) at birth with feet not much bigger than a penny; doctors gave him a mere 50 percent chance of survival.

After an eventful 113 days in NICU, however, the couple celebrated Finn leaving the Nemours Children’s Hospital in Orlando, Florida, and a long-awaited, joyous homecoming.
