The grandmother is currently dividing her time 50/50 between Los Angeles, where Britney lives, and Kentwood, Louisiana, where daughter Jamie Lynn Spears, is holed up, preparing for the birth of her first child.

Lynne has been splitting her time between the two locales in order to support Britney, who is currently under a conservatorship and 16-year-old Jamie Lynn.

As for Britney, the family feels that lately, there has been an "upswing," in how things are going for the embattled pop star, the source told Access. The family acknowledges however, that they have a "long way to go," the source added.

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Britney will appear in the primetime sitcom, "How I Met Your Mother."

She has also been teaching occasional dance classes to children at the Millennium Dance Complex in Los Angeles.

Britney and her father, Jamie Spears, who is co-conservator over his daughter, are getting along "OK," the source added, and the pop singer is said to be more "stable," of late.

    shame on momma spears for raising 2 skanky girls. Now, the mess continues as they mess up their kids lives. JL baby should be placed for adoption to MATURE, MARRIED family prepared to give a baby what it needs and deserves. This is best for the baby, but no one thinks about the BABY anymore!! Im sick of teens thinking they have a right to mess up their kids lives. Teens just dont make good parents

    I, too, feel so sorry for Brit in the fact that privacy is the one thing that she doesn't have. I would be embarassed to buy personal products in front of the ENTIRE world simply because the paparazzi won't leave her alone. No wonder she is going nuts. Just remember the words of Jesus, "Ye without sin cast the first stone".

    I have a baby girl & the last thing that I want is 4 her 2 idalize Brit. She is 1 of the worst people out there. The things that she has done & how reackless she has been w/ her boys, there is no reason 4 it & I hope that she never gets 2 see them again. Until she can straighten up. She has fallen & fallen hard. I don't think that any 1 should idalize her. N

    I hope Britney does come back big. She has been followed every step since she got into the business as a kid. Could you imagine what kind of life that would be. NEVER having any privacy. How could she have really enjoyed her teen years like that? I'm sure she was thrilled to have made it big, but you know she'd had to have gotten sick of all the camera's and such. I w

    She will over come this. Everybody makes mistakes, she is only human. Just watch what happens when she makes her come back, every one will forget this ever happened
