Re: [Felvtalk] Update on Charlotte
Laura, believe me when I say that many of us are in the same financial boat! But I wouldnt do anything different...these babies are MY responsibility, and I will do everything I can for them. I'm glad Charlotte is feeling better...don't worry, she'll eat more as she improves.
