First off, I'm very happy about the wife being pregnant. And I am not one of those people who freak out about lead in general. I mean, I reload in the bedroom, so I guess that much should be obvious. But I think I need to ask about this, just to put my mind at ease.
The situation: We live in a very small two-bedroom apartment. I have an old desk that I use for reloading, and it sits in the corner of our bedroom. My wife never touches the desk, I never deprime brass when she is home (and when I deprime, I do it with a filtering fan beside me), and I always tumble my brass outside on the porch. Brass and bullets stay in containers with lids or ziploc baggies. I wipe things down after use.
Is there anything I need to change (or stop doing) out of respect for my unborn kid? As long as Mom doesn't have lead issues, the child will be fine, correct?
Sorry if this sounds a little paranoid, but I couldn't forgive myself if my kid was born with six eyes due to prenatal lead poisoning.
(And yes, it is awesome being married to a beautiful woman who lets you reload in the bedroom.)
