Mamas of Preemies?

I was going to post in the preemie board, but it doesn't appear to be very active.  Any other mamas of preemies?  My son was born unexpectedly at 34w3d, literally the day after my shower.  He spent 12 days in the NICU before coming home on a monitor for apnea.  He's doing extremely well now minus a severe illness in November unrelated to his preemie status.  I'm so nervous that this one will come early, too, and imagine it'd be much harder to deal with when I also have a LO at home.  I'm anxious to have my first appointment (not until Feb 11!!) to find out what the official plan will be.  At my last yearly appointment, weekly shots were mentioned.  I just really want a normal, long pregnancy this time around (and the idea of having the baby in the room with me at the hospital is just so appealing!)

    I'm not a preemie mom persay, one was born at 36 weeks.  But all 3 of my pregnancies were high risk and they had NICU stays ranging from 14 days to 5 days for various reasons. 

    I am keeping my fingers crossed that I get to walk out the hospital with this baby!
