[quote=Anonymous]I'm due in late summer.  DH's family does an annual beach trip around the time I'm due, so obviously we would not be able to attend.  However, they may be able to move it to early summer.  DH would like to go if Covid safe (this year's trip was cancelled), but I can't see how that would be possible.  If the trip is moved up to June, the chance of all adults having received 2 shots, a month apart seems unlikely to me, so if the trip is moved up, it seems like there's a higher chance no one is able to go vs. just us in August.  Also, in addition to adults, we'd be joined by nieces/nephews ranging from 6-12.  Even if all adults are somehow vaccinated, I assume it will be a bad idea for me (high risk and unable to be vaccinated while pregnant) to stay in a house in close proximity to kids who have been at summer camp. Alternatives we've considered are DH and DD going, and me staying home, assuming DH has been vaccinated (of course if DD hasn't been vaccinated and can't quarantine from me when they return, there's still some risk, but since she's in daycare, we already accept some level of risk).  The other option would be to get a separate condo/house and only visit with the family outside, but DH doesn't love that idea.

Am I missing something? Being overly cautious? I mean, obviously there's a lot of unknowns about what Covid will look like next summer and who knows if this trip will happen anyway, (especially if we would be required to quarantine DD before sending her back to daycare before/after the trip).  But since the family needs to make a decision soon about whether to do the beach week in early v. late summer, anything I'm not considering?  Other alternatives?
