I haven't been on in quite a while, me and my husband moved and we haven't gotten internet yet. I was in the hospital a little over a month ago for magnesium sulfate therapy. Then i was fine until a couple days ago. Now i am back in the hospital. I got two steroid shots for the baby and i am on mag sulfate again...i'm 27 weeks. My husband and i are going up to the NICU tomorrow for a tour and we are meeting with a neonatologist also so we know what to expect if i end up delivering early. So that is my update! ↓

thanks for the support, I live in Grand Rapids, MI. Yes the mag is to stop labor. It is working wonders 2. Hopefully i'll only be in for a few days. Wow, i hope your baby does ok, so far does she have any complications??
And natilly i think we both just need to work on keeping our little ones inside for a while longer! ↑
