DINWIDDIE COUNTY, Va. – The Virginia couple whose pregnancy story went viral is celebrating two weeks of life for their son, Kaleb.

Baby Kaleb was born at just 24 weeks after mom Dana Griffin-Graves experienced birth complications. She and her husband recently got pregnant after 17 years of trying.

Today they celebrated by posting a video of Dana singing to their new baby boy, who is being cared for in the NICU.

"I sing to him daily, but today we recorded it," Dana wrote on Facebook.

In October the couple went viral when dad-to-be Arkell Graves openly wept when Dana told him she was pregnant after 17 years of trying.

According to the couple's Facebook page, baby Kaleb has been getting stronger in the hospital. Dana says she cherishes the moments she's able to change his diaper or sing to him in his incubator.

 "I am so happy, even for the little successes," she wrote.
