Trials and Tribulations of Being a God Mother to Be

One of my best friends is having a baby and I'm learning keeping an expectant mother calm is quite a job. Now I will note – this expectant mother has quite a bit of stress on her hands. She escaped domestic violence and is living in a maternity home (a year long home for expectant mothers who are homeless). Its usually once or twice a week I get the anxious calls from my friend about something, and she is a high risk pregnancy so they are big somethings! Last week she caught the stomach flu and everyone was in a whirlwind for fear she could have the baby 3 months early. Thankfully, she ended up being just fine. Baby's due date is September 10th so we have a ways to go...I'm going to be one exhausted god mother by then!

What happens after she has the baby? Where will she live?

She gets to stay at the maternity home until a year from now, so until next May. They will help her find housing to transition to.

I am sorry your friend is going through so much stress. I am glad she got out of the abusive situation though.
