[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 616476, member: 9175"] Thank you, everyone! You are all so wonderful. I am touched to think that you would be thinking of me (much less worrying!) in my absence. I am very proud of my daughter for the effort I see her putting forth. We had a long talk last night about her fears (mostly having to do with the early delivery,but also with her fear that the father could just snatch them away ...). As scared as I am, it does help to hang on to the good in all of this. She promised she'd start the WIC process tomorrow. I made an appointment for her with an attorney friend (there are some other matters to settle, but she will talk to difficult child about support, etc). Coincidentally, the attorney is president of a local agency, Birthcare, that provides diapers, formula and other necessities to mothers in need. She knows my circumstances and assured me that difficult child fell well within the guidelines for some assistance. We talked about money, also, last night and I strongly suggested that she ask Ossy to help her with a few of the start up supplies that she still needs. So far he has done .... nothing. Well, he did lend me some chairs and a table and set th em up for her shower. I invited his girlfriend and her daughter to the shower. They came and girlfriend was very gracious. Some of his family was in from out of town, so he did breeze in for a piece of cake at the end. He offered not a dime toward it, and had to be asked about the tables and chairs. He is in way better financial shape than me (currently putting about 10K into putting a bar and bathroom in his basement) and it's time for him to help her out a little. At todays ultrasound, Baby A weighed 2 lbs 14 ozs, baby B is 4 lbs 9 ozs. We are hoping and praying Baby A will at least reach three pounds in the next 13 days. I promise to do a better job of updating you. [/QUOTE]
