Question Jennifervan??? What happened to her???

The oldies will remember Jennifer, the long journey she had to get baby Gabby home (minor birth mom ect..) and then the adjustments, and about this time last year she told us she was pregnant. Anyone ever hear about or from her?

Jennifer do you ever check in?

Hope you are well, Mary
