“Are the girls hitting their milestones?” is a question I get asked quite a bit. Obviously with them being so premature they go developmentally by corrected age not actual age. (In case you don’t already understand those terms Actual Age is from the day they were born and Corrected Age is from…

Having a Baby Home on Oxygen …
