I am going to be bad and comment on some other posts too...
So sorry you couldn't go to the wedding, that must have been tough to miss! Your daughter looked beautiful.
Also, I am sure you know this, but most 28-weekers do really well these days (obviously you wouldn't choose that, but it was always comforting to me to know). My M. was a 32-weeker and she only spent 1 week in the hospital, and did fantastic. She caught up very quickly, and is now a healthy, smart, tall 6 yr. old. L. was a 33-weeker, and if not for T21, he wouldn't have had any issues either. I did have steroids for their lungs. I think the key for your situation is if they decided to give you the steroid shots, when to do it, because you can only have 1 round, and you wouldn't want them too early.
Anyway, I will pray that you get a healthy full-term baby to take home with you, I know how stressful a hr pg. can be!
Many do not understand what a glory and an honor it is to be a mother, particularly a mother to a child who has defied all odds and adds a particular brilliance to the world in general. I thank God that I have been sanctified to be such a momma! I try to be the center of love, selflessness, and patience in our home. Sometimes I succeed; sometimes I do not. I have been blessed with three wonderful children, each with their own unique persona. Our family stories range from the tear-jerking to the comic. That's what our lives are made up of. I would have it no other way.

My face may be different but my feelings are the same. I laugh and I cry and take pride in my gains. I was sent here among you to teach you to love, as God in the heavens looks down from above. To Him, I'm no different His love knows no bounds; It's those here among you in the cities and towns, that judge me by standards that man has imparted, but this family I've chosen, will help me get started. For I'm one of the children so special and few, that came here to learn the same lessons as you. That love is acceptance, it must come from the heart; We all have the same purpose, though not the same start. The Lord gave me life to live and embrace, and I'll do it as you do, but at my own pace.
