That is downright appalling. That is what I call a "drive by shooting" emotionally. I cannot help by feel so badly for how this women has treated you. Recently, Phoebe has been getting teased for being short, being called a baby—she's 10, so you get what I mean.
I have coached her to try to take the negative and turn it into a positive. If they call her short, she can say Thank You! It really confuses them.
But it's hard because even that takes some confidence.

Write her a note and kill her with kindness? "I know you mean well when you imply I am as big as a house due to growing another human life inside my womb. But, in general, pregnant or not, calling someone fat is really mean and you made me cry. Feel free to stop. Perhaps you could just say hello. The Lord Be With You."
Hugs

That last picture is so awesome! I have a photo of Xander and a friend wearing Phoebe's dress-up clothes.

Oh WOW. Just wow. I cannot imagine 12 weeks of trying to forget I ever saw the positive on the stick. It truly was a mind game and a horrible one, with a happy ending. Hugs to you that you had to go through all of that. But congratulations!

You are an amazing Mom. Stick to your guns—you know your baby best. You knew she needed something, but you weren't sure what.
I had different sleep issues with both kids. Phoebe needed SO MUCH reassurance. Xander NEEDED to Cry-It-Out so he could release his energy and settle down. He'd hysterically cry for 5 minutes, then drop like a stone.
Finger's crossed for you.

Hi Jaime! Just found your blog. Sometimes moving can take months for a kid to process. Personally, my kids and I have moved 2x in 2 years and each time I have seen regressions for a few months afterward. Hang in there and everything will work out.

Sex education should start at home. It should follow the children's age, appropriately. And it should be taught at school.
Sex, at the right time, with the right person. The better prepared they are, the better their chances of making good choices.
