How long is the wait time to get your machine repaired? If it's 3 weeks like it is around here. I would take it in now, by the time it's ready the retirement stuff will be all taken care of and your baby will be ready to come home.
Best of luck to you. When this is all over you will be comforting the rest of us. That's what we do for each other isn't it. Lift up, comfort, support. We as a group are your go to people!
