The Size of a Butter Block: The Miracles Who Refused to Give Up
In a quiet Melbourne hospital, Sophie Smith faced a parent’s ultimate nightmare. At 23 weeks, the world went dark as doctors whispered the unthinkable: Your babies might not survive.

But Sophie had one goal: Hold on. At exactly 24 weeks, tiny Grace and Faye entered the world—each weighing barely 500 grams, no bigger than a block of butter.  Surrounded by machines and prayers, these two little fighters endured 138 days of surgeries, infections, and agony.

“There were times we didn’t think we’d bring them both home,” Sophie remembers. Yet today, their house is filled with smiles, not sirens. Against the darkest odds, these “micro-miracles” chose life. A story of grit, a mother’s hope, and a victory that redefined the impossible.
