Just thought of another... Popcorn ceilings.

YES! There is nothing like the tradition of rocking your child before bedtime. We have a great glider with the foot stool, we splurged and got the one that reclines. So worth it.

*Heart*

The same exact experience just happened to me. Merrily walking down the compost pile and then “what’s that noise” “what is that” “AAHHHH”. I ran in the house devastated I actually went as far to call a local composting expert at a gardening center nearby. He basically said, not a big deal at all. I was relieved, to say the least! He said I could pick them out and give them to someone with chickens, but I decided that would be a little to much for me. I thought it was going to be over run, but there ended up being only a few.

I am expecting and renovating my house as well. I try not to be there when possible, but you do have to go and check on the progress at least once a day. I try not to be in the house for long periods of time if there are a lot of fumes or dust. I did purchase a respirator mask at the hardware store and used it to paint outdoors on a windy day. It's big and a pain to wear, but definately worth it not to be breathing the stuff in. My sister-in-law painted indoors with Low VOC paint and a good respirator the entire time she was pregnant with both of her babies and everything came out fine. I'm not saying this is for everyone, but I would suggest to do things at a slower pace, use caution and stay in tune with your body.
