Wow, that is such a huge decision to have to make so quickly. Congratulations! These girls are lucky to have you. Hopefully Charlotte will be pronounced healthy and ready to go home soon.
Feel free to ignore, but am I remembering correctly that you're related in some way to the mother and that's how the other 2 girls came to you initially?

Yes. She is a cousin. We don't really see that part of my family very often. Especially since the girls have come to live with us. So we don't get life updates. Which helps lead to surprises like this...
Also finding that kitten was serious foreshadowing... Now each girl has her own again
OMG, this......how prophetic.
Congratulations -- I know nothing about feeding tubes, but I suspect the lack of prenatal care just means this little one will have to work that much harder in her first few months before she catches up. But she will be with her sisters. Best of luck to you guys!
Congrats on your new addition! When do you get to take her home?
Tomorrow or Sunday. It depends on how she does tonight with eating.
DH and I are sending vibes your way. DD2 did the same with me with crying when she first came and I wound up sleeping on the couch with her for a few weeks. CPS told me it us them identifying you as mom and attaching. We eventually got her to sleep without me by swaddling.

OMG, talk about a major, major life change in a crazy short amount of time!! I can't even imagine making a decision like that in just 12 hrs! But how exciting for your family! Are your other girls excited?!
Good luck with everything...Charlotte is very lucky.
