I'm 13 weeks today and I thought this was the end of the first trimester. Now various websites are, like, "one more week to go!" I had really thought I might be able to breathe a little easier b/c I have been so terrified of miscarrying. First pregnancy and I'm 36. Had a good 12 week ultrasound this past week, and thought I'd tell some friends this week but now feeling like I'm jumping the gun. UGH!

OP here - I wasn't really expecting a nanny to "wait for me," I was thinking they would just know when their services wouldn't be needed any longer with another family, e.g. if kids were starting school. That said, I know COVID will make this tricky because families are unlikely to be certain what school is looking like even next fall (I don't think we are going to see any normalcy until at least 2022). But I guess the consensus is that I am way off base, huh? I'm such a planner, I hate this idea of having a baby and having NO idea what their childcare will look like. What if I can't find anyone at all and I can't go back to work? Ugh!

Courtney and Haley are my favorite. Courtney in particular is a totally classic name that will never go out of style.

My husband brought home some chili (container says packaged today 11/14) from a local market that was made with smoked turkey. I said I couldn't eat it because can't eat smoked turkey (even though I'd obviously reheat). Would you guys eat it? Am I going too far?
