MILWAULKEE, Wis. (MyFoxBoston.com) -- A baby weighing less than two pounds is making a remarkable recovery at Children's Hospital in Wisconsin.
Baby Olivia was born several months premature, at just one pound, 12 ounces.
But despite her small size, baby Olivia is using all her might to stay alive.
The baby's mother, Danielle Brancamp, says even though she had been on bed rest, she ended up needing an emergency c-section on February 24.
The baby wasn't due until June 2.

Brancamp says she suffers from cervical incompetence, which is why little Olivia was born months before her due date.
"Not only is it just the doctors and nurses that are keeping her alive but she's fighting every single day. She wakes up every day and she fights for her life and she is so strong and with that it makes me stronger," Brancamp said. "
Little Olivia is now up to two pounds, five ounces.
Her mom says she'll likely stay at Children's Hospital at least until her original June 2 due date.
