[ - ] My wonderful nanny of 4 1/2 years is looking for full-time work. Both my children will be in school full-time in the fall, so, unfortunately, we cannot give her the hours she needs. She is loving, energetic, and reliable, and is also experienced with special needs children and newborns.

[ - ] We left a deposit at one of the private ongoing schools but also applied for the G&T and the District lottery since we have no public school. If we had any decent options there was a good chance we were going to stick to public. Am I glad we applied to private. We were given four options to rank for the lottery. We received our last choice, a school our PSD said she would not send her kids to. Since the "sibling policy" was put into effect, we could not be placed at our local G&T. Our G&T options: over 60 blocks south, completely across the other side of Manhattan and 40 blocks south or in Chinatown. 18 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

The only schools in D2 with available G&T spots for 1st grade were ps124 and ps111 (each added a 1st grade G&T class). Not sure why you are so surprised. Consider yourself very lucky that you have a TT private spot. dc with fall birthday also took olsat for 1st this year and those would have been our options, too, had we returned the form. happily going private.

Will the delivery be with a different OB, depending on day of the week? I am also scheduling right at about 39 weeks (apparently hospitals are getting much more strict about no scheduled deliveries before 39 weeks -- that's what my OB told me) and specifically picking a day that my fave OB will be on for deliveries. Generally better staffing at the hospital during the week than on weekends, so keep that in mind. [ Reply | More

Having BTDT - your older one will be fine whatever you do. You can't really predict how he will react, and going to preschool might be a great distraction from worrying about you being in the hospital. Do what's right for you and the baby and try to make sure others (grandparents, DH, aunts/uncles) make a fuss over the older child while you're in the hospital. [ Reply | More
