Last week Updates:
It was great to hear from @jcsntms06 who updated us on her kiddos-Annabelle will be 4 in a few weeks and Caroline's language has really picked up and getting into everything lately!
Congratulations to ShannonSky who announced her BFP with Baby #3! Happy and healthy 9 months to you! Please keep us updated!
We have a new member aquariogirl who is on the thinking about TTC list; she is currently still on BP meds for the last 17 months after having DS at 31 weeks due to sudden onset of pre-e.
CurlingRocks: 37 weeks! Woohoo!!! On Team Green but will be picking out family names; if it's a boy, middle name will be after MFM because they like it and to honor all the things that he did for her during pregnancy. Love that idea!
CTbride79: came off BCP on July 20th and no AF yet; had 2 OPK's 16 days apart but wasn't temping so not sure if she O'd yet; FX that AF comes soon so you can officially start TTC
vsalt31: checked in-no new updates; please keep her in your thoughts and prayers for no more cervical changes or contractions and for the reactions to P17 shots to subside
***I would just like to add that it would be nice to hear from everyone on a more consistent basis even if there is no news to share. We would all love to hear that everyone is doing well! So, just for fun, I am adding a QOTW***
QOTW: What is the one baby item that you think is a must have?

Re: Pregnant & TTC After a Preemie Check In 9/5/13
I guess I should clarify with the QOTW: Besides the basics, what do you think is a must have? Like I thought I HAD to get bedding set. I did end up getting an expensive one for DS, (DH insisted on neutral colors though so we could use it for baby #2) but in the end, I did not really use most of what's in it: the quilt, diaper stacker, and valance. I wish I would have bought a changing table. We just always used to change DS (and now with DD) on the floor cause we are both paranoid that they would roll off.
It's still early - I'm not even 4 weeks yet. Lines are still faint but confirmed on a digi this afternoon. EDD May 17th, 2014. My first OB appointment isn't until Oct. 3rd, so I'll be anxiously awaiting that! I'm praying for a sticky, healthy, full-term baby!
QOTW: What is the one baby item that you think is a must have? The Snuggabunny Swing!
No major updates from me. Lots of contractions, but my next cervical u/s isn't until Tuesday am. Fingers Xed!
QOTW: my bottle warmer. Since I EPed for a year, we used it all of the time rather than warming a cup of water.
@vsalt31 I am so sorry about still having contractions, but hopefully no more cervical changes. Are you still having reactions to the shots? Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!
But, contractions are still ongoing where I have episodes of them every 2-3 minutes for a few hrs at a time. Sooo nerve wrecking!! I feel like I could have PROM any moment.
@vsalt31 So happy for you for no cervical changes! I just wish that those contractions would stop for you.
