There has been a lot of "chaos" here since my assistant was my husband and I had to kick him out and file for divorce. I say chaos because it changed things and I try to keep things are consistent as possible for my clients and their children.
Shortly after that, I had to change my early drop off to be every other day instead of every single day (7:00-8:00am).
Last week, I had to change my business hours to just 8:00-5:00 and exclude early drop off and late pick up. I had 1 family give me their 2 weeks notice and their last day will be on Wednesday of next week. I understood. They need care for 11 hours each day and I'm just unable to do so. I am still able to pay all of the bills that I was paying with 2 adults in the household and my son has been helpful with doing little things here and there to keep my stress levels down.
I need to announce my pregnancy. I am starting to look fat in just the front of my stomach area despite wearing loose shirts. I know that no parent is going to comment on it, but I don't want them to wonder or feel like I'm hiding something. I'm worried that having this many "announcements" so close together (in 1.5 months time) will concern some parents. It shouldn't, but I'm worried it might. The situation I'm in now was not planned. This pregnancy was planned, but the timing became interesting when I learned I was pregnant 10 days after I HAD to kick my husband out. I am saying HAD to as a conservative Christian woman who doesn't believe that divorce is an option. So, please believe me when I say I had to. My pregnancy is considered high risk and I go to the OB every 2 weeks. My Mom has been coming in as my assistant each time I have an appointment and no parents have had any concerns or questions about why she comes. I know their children tell them, "Ms. ___ came today!" I have very outspoken kiddos here. :

I plan to hire an assistant halfway through the summer, I will fully close for 1 week (unpaid) when I go into labor, and the assistant will run the business for 1-2 weeks after that 1 week maternity leave so I can continue to recover with some supervision from me. After that, the assistant will go back to being part-time. I can DO this. I can. When I started up this business last year I miscarried during the work day (delivered the baby at night, and the placenta while working) and none of my clients knew.
I'm unsure as to how I should word a letter announcing my pregnancy since I always send a letter home after I make verbal announcements to each parent. Please, please help. I have been nervous about this since I learned that I was pregnant.
