Monday I had to bring Baby J to our pediatric ophthalmologist.  Her eyes aren’t tracking well, and we weren’t sure if it was because she’s a preemie, or possibly something else.  Ever since Bella was diagnosed with Congenital Extropia we are really aware of eye strength and development.  When Baby J’s pediatrician decided that she [Read On]
