At 6 months the baby was about 24 weeks.

"Utah woman who unexpectedly gave birth on a cruise ship months before her due date says she wrapped towels around the 1 1/2-pound boy and, with the help of medical staff, managed to keep him alive until the ship reached port.

Emily Morgan, of Ogden, said Thursday that doctors didn't expect her son Haiden to live, but thanks to strong lungs, a makeshift incubator and an early arrival in Puerto Rico, the baby made it.

He's now receiving care at a neonatal intensive care unit in Miami.

Morgan, 28, said the baby was due in December but contractions began August 31 during a seven-day cruise around the eastern Caribbean."

A heart warming story about the survival of a preemie under primitive medical conditions. God bless Haidan, his mom, and the medical staff on board that ship.
