[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 668171, member: 3419"] Right. No preparation. I told T, D's mom, to put the carseat in the car. I told her I'd make a basket of travel accessories. I ended up using a gift pouch with a zipper (they seem to multiply on their own when you're not looking) and I filled it with-travel shampoo, conditioner, lotion, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc. I expect that the nurses will tell D to shower afterward. Good thing, because she only showers about once a month on her own. :( I made up some oils with Young Living essential oils for calm and soothing effects and am hoping to get D's mom to rub it on D's feet and legs. Or else D's mom can just drink it. :p I'm a bit stressed right now ... I just hope that difficult child can pick up the slack and get with the program tomorrow. And every other cliche' I can think of. husband and D had picked out an outrageous set of names and thankfully, D changed the first name to something more normal. Meanwhile, I'm telling my friends, one by one. I only told my friends in Minn when I was up there for the wedding. They don't know anyone else down here. I was hoping that maybe the adoption idea would stick. Doesn't look like it will happen, no matter how miserable D ends up being. D and her mom agreed that Difficult Child would not keep the baby alone at our house. And especially over night. Fine by me! I didn't ask why, but I suspect it's his anger issues. Although he's never hit D, just bossed her and intimidated her. And husband and I are worried about postpartum depression, since D has depression anyway (but wouldn't ever admit it) and the first time she gets into a huge fight with her mother and ends up at our house on the couch, vegging in front of horror films. NOT. That's going to be the hard part. Deep breath. :sweating: P.S. I never did get to run to the hospital to do a dry run on the paternity papers. I thought I'd scope out the way it's done. I'll figure it out. I'm sure they're used to people not signing, and asking for a test. [/QUOTE]
