Preparing for a preemie

Looks like I might be joining this board again.  I had DS1 at 33wks very unexpectedly and he spent 23 days in the NICU. He is now a happy, healthy, and active toddler. 

I am now 29 wks with DS2 and have a couple episodes of PTL already. Baby has had steroids and I am on bed rest but Dr said his goal is for me to get to 32 wks. I am trying to prepare ahead of time this time around for a NICU baby. Is there anything you would have done differently had known you were going to go through this? I just have so little control right now and I'm wondering if there is anything special I can do to prepare this time.

    The only things I would have done in advance if I had known would be to have my hospital bag packed and work organized. My firm handled everything but I know it was a nightmare for them.

    Thanks. My old SN was GLGB and my son was born in june 2011.

    I'm stuck on BR now so we are trying to  get day care lined up ASAP.  I really should get meals lined up, that's a good idea. 

    Hospital bags are ready to go.
