Baby Weighed Same As Pop Can

At birth baby Taylor Rideout weighed just 12.5 ounces and was just 10 inches long, making her the smallest baby ever to survive at Magee Women's Hospital in Pittsburgh. "She's a fighter," said Taylor's mother Brittany Rideout. At 80 days and now weighing 3 pounds, Taylor has come a long way. The tiny baby's survival wasn't a sure thing. "When I was pregnant with her, I had two strokes and two seizures. She still survived," said Rideout. Rideout has Lupus, and the pregnancy was threatening her life, so doctors delivered the baby 14 weeks early in March. WPXI
