A mother gave birth to tiny Markcus Cropper Jr. who was born prematurely and had to be placed in a plastic bag to prevent him from getting hypothermia. Christina Hahn, 27, gave birth to her baby boy four months early when she was just 23 weeks pregnant and he was born 13.78 inches long, weighing just one pound. Christina, of Chincoteague Island, Virginia, and the father, Markcus Sr., 30, visited the hospital that the infant was being treated at for 12 hours-a-day every day for 81 days and he's now doing much better. Little Markcus is now five months old and weighing a healthier 12 pounds.
