Rumaisa Rahman had a growth spurt in the three months after her Sept. 19 birth in Chicago-and she still only weighed 2 pounds, 10 ounces. That's because tiny Rumaisa weighed 8.6 ounces when she was born, making her the smallest surviving premature baby on record. (Doctors waited until the Rahman family could leave the hospital last month to announce the record.) Her fraternal twin sister Hiba was a comparable heavyweight at birth, weighing 1 pound, 4 ounces. Doctors expect both babies to develop normally.
