Question by Amy27: When should I start preschool for my daughter?
She is turning 4 in April and I’m wondering about preschool. She has never been in any kind of day care & hasn’t been exposed to babysitting much. I’m worried about putting her in preschool, but don’t want her to be behind when school starts. I also know she could use the social interaction but am afraid preschool will be too much for her since she isn’t use to being away from home that much.

Two days ago, my girlfriend(the mother of my child) calls me at work and tells me that she’s got a second job. I told her(once we both got home) that it wouldn’t be a good idea at this time because:
1: our 6 month old daughter is in the critical phases of her development.
2: working from 10pm-6 am, and then a primary job from 9am-5pm would cause unnecessary stresses on our family, and since we’re already unstable as it is, we should wait until things even out a little before either of us gets a second job.

Can’t find maternity patterns plus size over 20W. Need 24-28W or to find out how to adjust regular plus size patterns for expecting daughter.
