OT: SIL just told me she had a miscarriage

As of tomorrow I'll be 24 weeks pregnant. DH's sister and her husband started trying to get pregnant around the same time we did. I got pregnant right away (DH is very fertile apparently) but it didn't happen for SIL for a while, so obviously we were all very excited when about 4 weeks ago she announced to close friends and family that she's expecting.

Any ideas on establishing rules and schedule for summer?

We have the skids (8 & 10) half of the time throughout the summer. We follow the 3-3-4 shared custody schedule, 3 days at our house, 4 days at BM's, 4 days at our house, 3 days at BM's, etc. Previous summers didn't bother me too much because we hired a babysitter and I wasn't home with them throughout the day, but last year when DD was born I quit my job to stay home with her and summer was a hot mess.
