(CNN) -- Benjamin Scot Miller and his wife, Lyndsey, didn't expect to be parents on July 16, 2012. The Ohio couple's son wasn't due for another 3Â½ months. But the cramps that Lyndsey felt that day at work were actually contractions. Doctors could not stop the baby from being born that day. Ward Miles Miller was a delicate 12 inches long. He weighed 1 pound, 13 ounces, but soon dropped to 1 pound 7 ounces. "One doctor told us straight up the first night that there was a 50/50 chance that he would be normal," said Benjamin Miller, a professional photographer. "We definitely prayed and prayed."

It's possible that the brain bleeding could result in problems later on, Miller said, but so far @placeholder doesn't need any speech or physical therapy.
