Could I trouble you for some

[StupidBird]

Please call her regularly with lots of encouragement to stay in bed. I had to with both babies for various medical reasons; it was the most depressing and frustrating time. Nobody remembers much about what a disaster the house was except me (in vivid detail). I also got really out of shape, the house and bills seemed to go to pieces, nobody seemed to care. I felt completely worthless. No job, not even able to do minimal housework or watch the other kid. Yikes! But no one except me seems to remember any of that now. The boys are now 23 and 18. So, do keep talking to her, keep cheering her up, even if you can't go over often.

A little update:

Turns out her mother is staying with her for the next month (and for as long as necessary). A rather crucial detail she left out when my niece updated me on what is happening. I am FAR less stressed knowing that she has the best support she could possibly have. My SIL (I kept her when she and my brother split) is a fabulous mother herself and I know that everything will be under control as long as she is there.

While we are still in the dark until the ultrasound is done, she will not end up doing what she shouldn't because there is nobody else. Like my SIL said, my niece is very hard to tie down.

Thank you all for your good thoughts and vibes, etc, I really appreciate having somewhere to come for some support.
