[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry, OP, but #4.  I know it’s hard and it sucks but it’s the only safe option.  I don’t know what your numbers are in Chicago but where I live (Central California) they are on the rise again. [/quote]

This. You're pregnant and every option but 4 increases the risk of the virus entering your home, despite all you hear about how "kids are less likely to get/transmit the virus." "Less likely" still isn't great for a pregnant woman who also has a condition that surely weakens her overall health (HG).

Can DH take any forms of leave or is he so limited he has to save it all for when you're home with a newborn plus toddler?

MIL spending 20 hours a week public-facing; college age child care person who likely can't guarantee distancing; preschool with other kids and adults who may be working other jobs (because, wow, that's one cheap summer camp -- won't those employees need other income?) -- all sound like recipes for too much exposure from too many directions right now. I'm sorry. HG sucks even if all else is great.

No one close enough geographically and personally who could be part of a two-family bubble with your family and whom you would trust to stay distanced, no work outside home, etc.? That may be a luxury you don't have -- most of us don't.
