The goal was to make it to 24 weeks gestation when Ivy would have a good chance of surviving outside the womb. She made it even farther than they had hoped. At 30 weeks and six days gestation, baby Ivy was delivered via C-section weighing just one pound, seven ounces. Now, she is nearly 10-months-old and doing well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was terrifying to see her so small with breathing tubes,&#8221; Worsley told TODAY Parents. &#8220;She&#8217;s still tiny for her age. But she&#8217;s smiling and giggling and grabbing everything in sight.&#8221; It still seems surreal to her parents that little Ivy &#8211; their &#8220;miracle baby&#8221; &#8211; really exists.
