Kitchen and Belly Updates
As promised I am updating our kitchen photos. We hope to have it COMPLETED this week. How exciting if we can actually cook next weekend! Here are photos from last Thursday. Things should be moving by Tuesday and done on Friday if all goes well.
Very unfortunately our refrigerator will be the last appliance to be replaced. We purchased it with everything else but the new model is on backorder until the middle of August. Luckily we have this one in the meantime but it’s just such an eye sore!
And this, Ladies and Gentlemen, is DEAD SPACE! It’s in the corner between the refrigerator and sink and it is absolutely killing Walter. I wish they could just put a counter top on already so it didn’t hurt so much. He would love to find a solution where he could cut a hole into the cabinet in order to use it but I’m afraid we would be sorry we did it. I wish our contractor actually LISTENED to us but it seems the more money he gets and the closer to the end we are the worse his hearing, uhhh… listening, becomes. Oh the joys of home ownership!
I also had Walter snap a few photos of Kate and Noah this weekend. Unfortunately I had to be in the photos too. I’m definitely bigger around this pregnancy and getting a lot more of the lovely stranger comments (“You must be due any day!”, “Are you sure you’re not having twins!?”, “You may want to double check with your doctor, you must be further along!”). I’m fat and pregnant people, get over it. Hopefully I don’t get too much bigger though! It’s a hot summer and I’m already starting to waddle! Noah wasn’t very interested in being a part of this exercise so we’re lucky to have gotten something.
He and Walter love to talk to Kate. They lean down, bury their mouths and in their loudest, deepest voices say “Helllllooooo Kaaatttte”. Noah felt Kate kick for the first time this weekend. He jumped and said “Oh! Do it again!”. Just wait until he finds out she’s moving in!

You and Kate look beautiful!
Can’t wait to see the finished kitchen, its looking great so far. Why didn’t the contractor use a corner kitchen cabinet? My parents have one with a lazy suzan in it and its great for big pots etc. The dead space would bother me too! But once the granite goes on you won’t know its there, so that’s good at least

You look beautiful Dawn! Tell all those rude strangers to STFU!
And how cute is Noah??? He looks so grown up.

Dawn, the kitchen looks great! I love it… and when the countertop and fridge are in, you are going to be very happy, and forget about the “dead space.” In hindsight, a lazy susan should have been installed, but what can you do now.
And you look beautiful! I love the pictures of you and Noah.

Thanks for all of your kind compliments. As far as the dead space goes they couldn’t fit a lazy susan there. We have one on the other side of the kitchen next to the stove but with such little door space there was nothing they could do to create another opening. I’m sure once the countertop is on (now scheduled for Monday) we won’t think about it nearly as much.
Another update! The fridge is coming tomorrow (Friday)! It came in much earlier than they expect and we are ELATED!
