Legewood,

I don't mean to find entertainment in your situation, but it brought a smile to my face, I've been there and done that. This is your first baby huh? Keep in mind her hormones are running wild while she's pregnant. It's sweet that you're concerned, but her body will let her know her limitations.

Lifting, moving boxes, and things like that are fine while you're pregnant. I don't know how far along she is, but toward the end of the pregnancy she'll get a nesting urge and start emptying cupbords and reline shelves, re arrange the nursery a dozen or so times, and a million other things that you will not understand the need to do.

The only thing I'd be concerned about in this situation is being in the house that is being remodeled while paint is being sanded off. I'm assuming the house is older, and my contain lead paint and asbestos insulation.
