A general update post, about Katy, the future hater knows as my kid and our kitchen. 

This week has been sucky for Katy.  She had a typical appointment early in the week and when they took her blood pressure and checked her reflexes and did all the typical stuff, they said “get to the hospital”.  She officially has pre-eclampsia, which is hyper tension for the preggo, and tries to tell the kid “time to get outta there”.  So, the kid is trying to be like it’s dad and be born early.   Thankfully for the kid, they know better than to put the mom on an IV drip of alcohol, so at least it won’t be born all drunk and crazy like I was (which means hopefully it won’t scream and torture us like I did my parents).  Anyhows, Katy is on bed rest officially now.  She’s allowed to do some stuff, but not work or clean or shop or anything fun.  Sucky McSuck, says me.  Hopefully she won’t be way too bored and lose her mind.  The kid is scheduled to be cut out on the 18th of September, but that date will surely be moved up.  The doc said 3.5 – 5 weeks left, so that means mid/late August.  At least I won’t be surrounded by yet another Libra.  I feel wicked bad for Katy, though she’s handling it really well.  Typical Katy, being all happy go lucky.  She rocks.

The kitchen is coming along.   I seriously love our contractor, I want to take him to the BFF party.  He’s been great about dates and doing good work, but also this week really helped us out by taking me to drop off Katy’s rental car (oh yeah, our gigantic pine tree is dying and dropping huge branches and one destroyed katy’s front windshield this week, so add “tree removal” to the list of shit we have to do, sigh) and took care of Milli today while we vacated the house and the new hardwood floors went down.  So, the walls are up, the lights are in, the range hood is in, and the floors are down.  The exterior walls are done, the pantry/laundry room tile is down.  We’re now waiting on cabinets and then we can do countertops, backsplash and drop in appliances.   We’ve decided on KitchenAid appliances, granite tile counter tops, subway tile backsplash and a brick accent wall at the back of the kitchen.  Look like three more weeks…. just before the baby arrives.  Yikes.

What else?  I think that’s enough.
