Very sensitive - my nanny's pregnant [grin] - long sorry

I'm absolutely delighted for her, she's over the moon in between the constant throwing up.
I do however have two problems, firstly she's rather scatty anyway and this seems to have become much worse, I know I was very day dreamy and yesterday I actually saw her whilst supposedly watching my kids in the pool starring into space, not a problem because i was watching too, but this is only going to get worse isn't it ?
The other thing is my 4 year old tends to lash out when she's having a tantrum and the nanny announced that F had kicked her in the stomach, now this s after i had said to leave her mid paddy but the nanny went a head and tried to pick F up and apparently got kicked, I didn't see it.
Do you think this can work throughout the pregnancy, any words of wisdom greatly appreciated.
She is talking about coming back to work when the baby is 6 weeks with the baby which I think is going to be too much for her anyway.
I really really want this to remain friendly, we are still in touch with our other nannies, am just very concerned about the hormones flying around.

really tricky one this . I would seriously not agree to her coming back on a definate because things might change seeing as shes a bit dippy and you might not want her too . She will learn about protecting her body it wont take long to figure it out . LOL I would just wait and see what happens for a few weeks . Best of luck .
