When doing construction during pregnancy is a good thing

OK, sure it means you have to go down two flights of rickety stairs to use the toilet in your third trimester. Sure it means that showers in the peak of summer are a luxury and hard to come by.

He napped through our dog freaking out about the two stray pit bulls wandering the neighborhood. He napped through the mailman knocking to let us know we had a package.
