BRIDGEPORT, Ill. -- Eli Evans doesn't dwell on the horrific violence that surrounded his birth 16 years ago.

He has known the unfathomable details for years since he and his older brother came to live with their grandfather in this rural southeastern Illinois community. Sam Evans still encourages the boys to come to him whenever they feel the need to discuss what happened.

"I always think God has a plan for me since he kept me here," Eli said. "I was put on this earth for a reason, and I'm still trying to figure out what the reason is. I know it's going to be something good because not many people could have survived what I did."

Elijah "Eli" James Evans, who cherishes his brother, Jordan, and grandfather, seems to be thriving now as a high school football player who dreams of an NFL career. He is keenly aware that the story of his birth shocked the nation.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Last month Trent Arsenault got three women pregnant -- a new record for the Fremont man and father of 14 (and counting).

"I know the holidays are busy," Arsenault, 36, said with a chuckle, "but I didn't know that included babies."

Arsenault's been a sperm donor for five years, offering his semen to women he meets on the Internet for free.

But his baby-making days may be numbered.

Palm-sized baby is growing

LOS ANGELES -- At birth, Melinda Star Guido was so tiny she could fit into the palm of her doctor's hand. Weighing just 9 1/2 ounces -- less than a can of soda -- she is among the smallest babies ever born in the world. Most infants her size don't survive, but doctors are preparing to send her home by New Year's.

Melinda was born premature at 24 weeks over the summer and spent the early months cocooned in an incubator in the neonatal intensive care unit in Southern California. Almost every day, her 22-year-old mother sits at her bedside and stays overnight whenever she can.
