If you are unwilling to text/communicate outside of daycare hours then you should NEVER text/communicate outside of daycare hours. Texting back and forth today telling her you are busy is misleading...you had the time to send numerous texts saying you wouldn't be in touch...by doing that you are doing exactly what you keep telling her you won't do.
Tell her the hours you are willing to text and do NOT answer any messages outside of those hours. If she texts on Sunday saying i need to talk today...respond Monday morning restating that you do not communicate outside of the set hours.
Same goes for communication during the day if you do not want to be texting her all day then let her know what you will do and stick to that. Tell her once that your menu is posted (where ever you have it) and when she texts about food ignore it. At pick up casually mention you didn't have time to answer her text you were busy with the kids.
She will either eventually stop trying when you do not engage or she will keep sending unanswered texts. It is up to her...but your answering all the texts is just encouraging her to continue because you take the time to text back giving reason why you are too busy to text!
As for all the pregnancy concerns...just keep stating you are confident you can handle it. She will either trust that or she will pull from care. There isn't anything you can do to change her mind. It is a perfectly acceptable concern from her part, but aside from repeating you can handle it you can't prove it until the baby arrives so she needs to figure out if she wants to stick around to see if you can in fact handle it!
