So, my most recent thought is house and child protection.  I am going to have two young children and a teenager to protect by the end of the year.  Obviously being short, fat, and at the moment pregnant, I am not going to instill any fear in a burgler or ruffian.  So, I'm obviously left with my firearm.  I'm just wondering if it is safe to practice with it while I'm pregnant.  That's a pretty loud noise and it's not like I can put ear protection on the baby! Not exactly how to broach that question with my new OB though...
