Guest guest Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Hi there Donna, We'd chatted last year and tried to swap pics of the girls but they didn't go through. I don't think I realized that Eva was a preemie too. Olivia was early so of course we had to go to a different hospital in another city which was a huge pain having a 5 year old also but the bottom line was getting the proper care for her. How early was Eva? Long hospital stay? She seems to be doing great now though!
