Is it overzealous of me to sign up for three half marathons which would take place in three consecutive months when I'll be 21+ weeks?

I picked up running days before I learned I was pregnant and am trying to keep it up. My husband is currently training for a marathon next year and he's looking at races to do until then and have found a bundle for three half marathons that take place in September, October, and November. I want to run with him (obviously not together cause I am already slow AF and will continue to be so) but concerns have been brought up that I may not be up for it due to exhaustion and big belly.

The races also have 5ks and 10ks so I could do those distances instead but I low-key feel offended that there is doubt whether or not I can run three half marathons. This is my first pregnancy and I'm just getting back to running so I know it's realistic to limit my expectations. Should I instead first do the 5k, 10k, and then the half? Or just one race instead? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I'm currently at 6weeks and have experienced exhaustion but no nausea yet.
