The Kitchen is Finished!

...Well almost finished. There seems to be some kind of issue with the floor, but that's a long and not interesting story.

If anyone reading this is contemplating a kitchen remodel while pregnant, I would strongly recommend against it. At first I thought it would be perfect timing because the last pregnancy the first trimester I didn't even want to be anywhere near the kitchen. So I thought this would be a perfect time to be eating out all the time. Kind of, but not worth the chaos times the not feeling so good.

Gwyneth wants to know what has happened to the 'noisy guys'. I think she thought they were a new part of our house. But she also thinks that 'kitchen, so nice' (she listens to everything everyone says now, so watch out).


We are mostly completely satisfied with our new kitchen, though there are a few things that did not turn out exactly the way we thought/hoped. I do have to say that I am glad that we didn't try the do-it-mostly-ourselves-home-depot route. The professionals ran into enough snags, that I can't imagine what we would have done. And can I say that I have MISSED having a dishwasher for the last six months.

My favorite part is the granite work station right next to the refrigerator. It is so nice to have plenty of room for the food prep part of the cooking. The pictures keep going and going so you will see what I am talking about.

Now onto more baby news: We heard the heartbeat for the second time last week. That is always amazing and mysterious. We will find out the gender at the end of the month so check back in after July 29th.

Okay, that's it for now. Still exhausted.
