SAN DIEGO, Calif. — The world's smallest surviving baby went home healthy after being delivered at a San Diego hospital at only 23 weeks.

Saybie was delivered at 23 weeks and three days at San Diego’s Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women and Newborns.

The hospital released the below video Wednesday:
