14 years ago

DD Kalie (zookeeperkalie here)& Mike are expecting around the first part of Sept!! They had an internal (had NO IDEA that they did this!) ultra-sound and here are the first pics!

Introducing Peanut!

(I think this one, Peanut looks just like Kalie)

(In this one, Peanut looks more like Mike!) ;b LOL

All I care about is, Peanut has a strong steady heartbeat! =)

When my Mum was pregnant for the first time and went into labor, she went to the hospital. The doctor said "when the apple is ripe it will fall from the tree. We don't pick ripe apples." and sent her home. She returned later the same day and delivered. She had 6 kids and tells us we were all late so she was pregnant more than 54 months of her life. With child #5, she was so late they induced her and she picked March 30th because she thought having an April Fool's day birthday would be awful(and the 30th would provide 2 days to get it done). Naturally, child #5 has always wished she had an AFD birthday. Our BIL and a nephew, who do have an AFD birthdays, love to tell her how it is the best birthday. Hope all is well with you and yours. When the apple is ripe, it will fall from the tree...

I'd definitely agree about glass giving your space a more modern direction. I'm thinking black glass would also be very 'hard' visually -- another surface with a 'strong, masculine' bent. Is that something you want? What direction DO you want to go in? (If it were me, I'd tip just a bit back to the 'softer and more feminine side' with a ceramic tile with a bit of a 'cushion' shape (handmade) and a color that's rich but not too dark. I'm thinking a simple 4x4 on a diagonal layout with a frame treatment over the range... While I love the metal decos, I think they may add too much 'clutter' to an element that needs to be more 'background'. You've also got a lot of outlets in your splash -- so there will already be things there -- things you probably don't want to draw the eye to...

Would a peninsular counter be required to meet the 2' electrical?
Q

The picture shows a receptacle at the end of the peninsula - but only about an inch overhang. Is your overhang bigger (like for a seating area)? I don't really like the placement myself (even if no seating area) but it meets code. You could also place one on the wall about where the basket of apples is in the pic, but far enough away from edge that it's not right next to someone's plate if they're eating there. Definitely do new safety outlet (believe you have to press a button to slide cover out of the way to access contacts). Another option that would satisfy code would be to put plugmold on the non-seating side of the counter, just under the overhang. Go to the FKB and search on plugmold. I have a dropped-center island, not a peninsula, but here is the general idea (might be best solution if you think you're going to use small appliances there often, and the area isn't just for serving/eating)

worries

I guess this is the 'norm' for the Dr. that Kalie is going to to have the internal. I had never heard of it, and I figured it was just to make sure all the 'equipment' was where it was suppose to be. Nope...and to have pics of it, I thought was just unreal! Pretty cool.

It is quite common now a days to have an "internal" when you are very early along..less stuff in the way...more direct route shall we say..

This will likely be the one and only time in this pregnancy.

They will also have an ultrasound at about 20 weeks. They want to know the sex and want to see Peanut again! =) (But yes...most of the time there is only the one ultra sound...unless there are reasons.

We had an U/S done when I was preggers with Caryn 26 years ago....I think it was about 22 weeks, and it looks about the same (only bigger) than this one of Kalie's! They couldn't tell the sex or any of that. I had had severe food poisoning while I was preggers and they wanted to check things out, mainly heart and spine. It amazes me also how amazing it all is.

No Connie...I am not sewing YET. I will wait until I know which color I will be sewing! I do have a list of what I want to do, and it will just be to buy the material in the appropriate color! lol
