To Jane and all others who have asked,

This woman is definitely not overweight. She does tend toward pudginess,
and looked it when I met her during her first pregancy. With baby #1, she
did still have that pudginess, though she was losing it.  With two
nursing babies, mom is the slimmest I've seen her and definitely not
obese.  She commented to me that the return of menses couldn't be due to
fat, because she doesn't have much right now!
