OT - rambling - should I believe this???
I worked with a lab tech at a hospital in Indiana years ago like that. She
was tall and the day she delivered she was still wearing the straight sack uniforms that they wore - straight up and down dresses with no flare at all. Not me - I always got as big as all outdoors when I was pregnant. -- Donna in Idaho Website: www.LinusIdaho.org "Sandy Foster" wrote in message ...

Marilyn stunned, confused, and bubbly cause there is another new baby coming!!! When I was student teaching, another teacher at the school was pregnant and didn't show at all. (She did know she was pregnant, though! G) She didn't show because she was quite tall, and the baby apparently simply stretched out lengthwise instead of bunching up and poofing out.

Carole- Shame on you.... making fun of a person who had an extremely
humongous sinus infection exactly 35 years ago! My English skills are sadly lacking, but I *usually* can get my point across! LMAO! I'm so glad my quilting skills are better than my syntax- is that even the correct word to use here??? Duh on me.... ;-) Leslie C&S wrote: "Leslie & The Furbabies in MO." wrote in message oups.com... -----------------8------------------------------------------------------- And I had been told I probably couldn't ever get pregnant by a military OB/GYN! I had a healthy 8 lb. 9 oz. son from that "sinus infection"! LOL Leslie (young and ignorant back then!) So Leslie, was he right that you "couldn't ever get pregnant by a military OB/GYN"? ROFL - Had to tease you. That was too funny. What a wonderful sinus infection!

Thanks for all the stories! I guess there is certainly a good
possibility that she just didn't know. The mom is on the heavier side. In the long run I guess it really doesn't matter! There IS a new baby coming, which means I have one more I can love and cuddle. I know being a single mom can't be easy. It's too bad they are living so far away from us that I can't be helpful in a practical way, but I am available to her by phone and she has always felt comfortable phoning when she needs to talk. She does have some good support in her own family, so that is good. She is doing pretty well at raising DGS. He is a friendly, happy little soul, very busy, but has learned all the manners that you would expect from a 4 year old. So, I'm sure she will do her best with babe #2. Yay! I get to be grama again! That will put the count at 22 this spring! Marilyn Alberta, Canada |

Marilyn: The medical issues I will leave to others to debate. I
want to congratulate you & your DH for your open hearted acceptance of this new baby into your hearts and family. You are Real Life Heroes!! With all the issues of ex partners, absent daddies, and so on, the loyalty and love you and your DH will give this child will be a real anchor in her life. Since this baby will be sibling to your own GS, it will be a positive impact on your GS too. If your family adults object, tell them that. And tell them to MYOB. Hugs all around.

What's the difference between a bio and step grandchild but DNA. The heart
doesn't know. Our Kelli is from my DSIL's previous marriage but believe you me - she is MY DGD! -- http://community.webshots.com/user/snigdibbly SNIGDIBBLY ~e~ " / \ http://members.ebay.com/aboutme/snigdibbly. http://www.ebaystores.com/snigdibbly...ox&refid=store "Roberta Zollner" wrote in message ... I can just barely imagine not realizing if it's a first baby and the mother is possibly quite a bit overweight anyway (that's the only reason I can think of for being able to wear the same clothes when she's 8 months along!) But not realizing when it's the 2nd time? That just pushes skepticism a little too much! As for being a granny to your DGS's younger sibling, go right ahead! Every baby needs a granny.

Nope! Both of mine kicked the slats out of me from about the 5th month on.
