We are building a house.  This has been my husbands dream for years, much like having babies was mine.  He was at the lot last night putting up a wall ( in our daughters future bedroom!)  and I really wanted to help while I feeling good and could still move comfortably. I carried lumber down and marked some lines on some lumber, but trying to do that while almost 27 weeks pregnant and trying to keep DD out of DH's way was more stressful than DH just doing it himself.  For the first time since I got pregnant with the twins I wished I wasnt and I felt totally guilty for that.  ( this project is totally up my alley- I would have helped them put up panels and I-joists if I didnt have to care for DD and wasnt pregnant)  I guess those days of being able to help him with projects like that are behind me for a little while.

I totally understand wanting to work on projects and not being able to.  We just finished installing new wood laminate flooring and I did all of the baseboards/quarterround myself.  It took forever, though, because my stamina is so low!  I have a feeling house projects will never be the same...
