------------------------------------------------
Congrats to SLYDJ (formerly jullybean) for her BFP! Please let me know EDD.
flergirl: bedrest and increased meds are helping with keeping BP low. Please continue to keep her and baby Jenna in your thoughts and prayers!
takmjs: occasional cramping; dating US in 3 weeks!
megs2011: 14w1d along! MS pretty much gone, but still feeling tired. Had NT scan and everything looks good! Tech made a guess and thinks that LO is a boy so she will officially find out in about 6 weeks at AS!
rslhmg: Everything continues to look good! LO did decide to play with the cord during monitoring which caused a few HR drops, but doc said it was nothing to be alarmed about and very common.
bluebird2318: 36 weeks! Had slightly higher BP readings and swollen feet, but doc wasn't worried. DH being awesome by taking over some household duties to help make sure that she can relax and get her FT and VBAC baby!
mrsdbc: Officially in 3rd tri! Morning sickness and exhaustion coming back; She was told by nurse that they probably won't let her go a week past EDD which is fine with her since she knows exactly when she O'd.
haziedaze: 35 weeks and baby is staying put! last P17 shot will be this Monday! LO is estimated to be 5lbs6oz which is already 8oz larger than big bro when they took him home.

Re: Pregnant & TTC After A Preemie 3/28/14
Well I've had an eventful few days. OB discovered I was 1cm dilated at appt on Thurs. Normally, this is not of great concern (at 33w), but since DS was delivered due to PTL at 32.5weeks, doc sent me straight over to L&D for my first steriod shot and some monitoring. Baby and ute looked ok, so I was sent home. I returned yesterday for the 2nd steroid shot and fFN. I was really nervous about the fFN because that would mean instant bedrest and possibly a baby in the next 2 weeks. I really thought it would be positive. They sent me home to wait in agony.
False alarm! The fFN was negative, so I have a 99% chance of not going into labor for the next 2 weeks. What a huge relief! Hopefully I'll just be one of those mommas who walk around dilated for several weeks before giving birth.
Looking forward to hearing our other KU mommas' updates!

@flergirl Happy to hear that LO is fine and BP is stabilizing! That's awesome!
Yes, I can't believe Maxine is 9 months already either! She is starting to walk with her walker already and last week was climbing steps! Yesterday we had a funny incident in which I had to leave her for a split second to grab a sleeper upstairs (we have a really small house). Noah had to go to the bathroom and leave his cheeseburger unattended so I jokingly said, "Max, don't eat your brother's food." As soon as I got upstairs, I heard Noah yell, "She's eating my food!" This is the look she gave him:

@mrsdbc, I hope your pains don't mean anything and are just normal pregnancy stuff. I feel like I have been calling my dr over the silliest stuff, and its probably going to happen more now that I am at my pg milestone. Hopefully you have a very understanding dr, I feel like I'm pretty lucky with mine, he takes the time to answer even my most paranoid/silly questions on the phone and has never seemed anything but understanding.
