LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Lynne Spears is in Los Angeles to visit with her grandchildren, a source close to the family tells Access Hollywood.

Lynne Spears will see Britney's boys with Kevin Federline - Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1.

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.

The family is "hopeful for the first time in a long time," the source added over Britney's condition.
