More than 1,500 babies have been cared for in the Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit at Union Hospital since it opened in 2005. Olivia Rose Nale is one of them.

Her mother, Carla Nale, had a perfect pregnancy. But Carla says at thirty-one weeks, she was rushed to the emergency room. "They did an exam, the bleeding wouldn't stop and at that point he said were delivering. I was concerned about her with the bleeding and everything that was something they could fix in me but not knowing what was going to happen with her was what was so scary."

Olivia was born nine weeks and two days early, weighing only three pounds and twelve ounces. Though she's very small, she's much healthier than many pre-term babies.
