27 weeks pregnant!

Well, here I am sitting in my last week of my 2nd trimester. Wow! Next week I'll enter into the 3rd trimester with only 12 weeks left. We still have not done anything to get ready for the next family addition. Other than go to Babies R Us to register and look at furniture, we have yet to actually go and do it. But we have designated July to be the month to get stuff together. We are making a trip up to Washington DC the 4th of July weekend for two purposes - 1) to go to Ikea and 2) to visit DC. Ikea has some very reasonably priced baby furniture so we are going to look at cribs and a dresser. Plus the "Baby Bargains" rated their cribs with an A for quality and sturdiness. And before the little tike comes along, we are going to do as many things we can do! So in addition, we are going to stay the night up in DC. I haven't been to DC to be a tourist since I was 7 or 8 years old. Hopefully we can go to the Cherry Tree festival with the kid next year! Hopefully the Ikea furniture works out because our "back-up" alternative is a $400 crib at Babies R Us. Ouch! That cost more than our own bed! And that doesn't include a mattress! If the crib and mattress works out at Ikea, we will spend ~$300 on both! So cross your fingers that we come back with some good sturdy furniture from Ikea!
