I'm finding it slightly ironic that the minute we get pregnant, the lot kitty-corner to us is sold, bought by a developer, and as of today, they're cutting down the trees, likely in preparation for building a house there.
Not exactly a surprise, but bad timing, as far as we're concerned.
The bedroom (with its single pane window) closest to the new construction zone was slated to be the baby's room. We're seriously rethinking the wisdom of that choice. Round the clock hammering, sawing, and general construction mayhem for the first year of Baby J's life is probably not ideal.
Clearly they don't understand that all things revolve around me and the pregnancy. They couldn't have waited a year or two? :)
