WTF? BowerPower!

[darkling_glory]

Why is she dragging out this kitchen thing? She admitted that he was way behind on posting it! I just want to see what it looks like all painted.

Geez!

They don't blog for a living like their pals over at YHL. Katie is very pregnant and Jeremy is gone like 18 hours a day. Plus I'm sure they have other things going on that might trump a kitchen reveal post, at least for the time being.

[ssmjlm]

I think life is just taking priority right now. I believe she's due pretty soon, so I'm sure baby prep is the main goal right now.

[darkling_glory]

I wouldn't care if she hadn't said that the kitchen was nearly finished. I totally get the being pregnant and about to pop thing.

I just want to see the kitchen! FWP!

[mac08]

I know, I am really looking forward to seeing it too!! But I'm sure it takes forever for her to put together a post like that, she always includes a million pics that probably take time to edit first, so I can see why it's taking her so long. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get a post with the final reveal until after the baby is born.

[peach]

Yeah how dare she not update internet strangers on her new paint color....she's only due with a baby like yesterday...not like she is tired and busy or anything.

[salsaverde]

hmmm in kind of with OP on this. i truly understand she is super pg but a quick post on the reveal would be fine. she draws out all of her projects into multiple posts. if she is a lifestyle blog and not a DIY blog then she does not need to be soo wordy and just post pics.

i dont like her blog but i completely love her decor choices.

This. I think she probably has the posts written and will publish them after the baby is born so she can have some time to spend with him and not think about the blog.

[puppydoggie]

She said she wanted to post it all before the baby is born. But then, she just fills the blog with pointless crap.

I don't consider the posts about her son, husband, family, etc. pointless.

[maddysmum]

I think that even taking on a project like this and trying to complete it while hugely pregnant is admirable! I painted our first nursery at 36 weeks...you haven't seen "dragging on"! And that was only one small room.

I can't find fault with her for that.

Perhaps you should send her a babysitter, a handyman, and a writer to take care of getting this project done and documented for you? Where is your blog that we can critique the timeliness of your projects?

[emoflamingo]

I have to say, you never heard the grandest of plans until you decide to do some renovating while in your 3rd trimester. And I didn't really have any to do, just redecorating, purging and rearranging.

[TBM]

I don't really understand why everyone is feeling the need to defend Katie.....it appears the the kitchen is actually finished, or is really close, so thinking that she might post an update or reveal (which she said that she wanted to do before the baby was born) doesn't seem that out of line.

[emoflamingo]

I think she's a little obsessive about having the perfect pictures. And when I was that pregnant, the last thing I wanted to do was spend time taking pictures or editing pictures at a desk. I had my feet up on a couch lol. I'm not really defending (I haven't been reading any blogs in 6 weeks since I left work), just giving my own (very recent) experience.

[pugz]

her due date is tomorrow I believe. I follow her on IG.

For me, it's not only about Katie (I do love her blog, though). I just think it's weird when people have these expectations from bloggers. Yea, I am excited to see her kitchen reveal, but I'm not going to get upset or annoyed that she hasn't posted it yet. She'll get to it when she gets to it. I also think it's odd when people criticize the fact that she does posts that aren't about her home. I guess I just consider her more of a lifestyle blogger.

[pinkeggs]

She gets too many freebies to be a lifestyle blogger.

Word!

I just feel like she's pulling a YHL deck debacle and dragging out the kitchen reveal. That is all.

[sailorgray]

Not to dwell, but I have a feeling that she doesn't have all of the finishing touches done. I know that I wouldn't want to show off something I worked hard on until it was 100% finished. Also, maybe she doesn't want to throw together a half-assed blog post on something they worked on so hard. Maybe she does have it written and knows she will be out of commission when she is having her baby and has it set to be the blog post on that day, so her blog readers are happy for a bit. Who knows.

Did she ever say if she's trying for a VBAC or doing a repeat c section? For some reason I want to say she said VBAC. I wonder if she has a c section scheduled or if she's waiting to go into labor.

What do you mean?

[lemondrop]

WTF, Knitty? I know you're bitchy, but what makes you think she beats them?

Seriously. All she ever talks about is her love for Will.

Seriously Knitty?? Somebody needs a filter. You don't just get on the internet and accuse a stranger of beating her kid. It's obvious that Will is totally adored by his parents. Take a chill pill.

[pinkeggs]

I think Knitty is referencing a post or two where she talked about how they have no problem using corporal punishment and have used it on Will.

I am against spanking, but think their form of punishment is a far cry from what Knitty suggested.

The biggest thing that stood out to me in this post is that it's brass* TACKS not TAX. LOL.

While many people don't agree with that, it's not really beating a child.

*LOL at my typo.
