Hot'lanta

Yesterday, Jeremy and I, along with our fantastic neighbors Auvie and Yung, trekked to Atlanta. IT WAS A LONG DAY! We all climbed into Jeremy's truck at 8am CST and headed down I-65 to I-85 to head straight to our second destination (our first was the Stuckey's in GA for a bathroom break and a belly stretch break). Our second destination was the DeKalb International Farmer's Market. This was my first trip and it was amazing, besides the earthy aroma that filled the building. Not great for moms-to-be and the superhuman sense of smell. We saw more fruit, veggies, and meats than I have ever seen before. There were guys lined up like Norton's fishermen cleaning fish like crazy right there in the store. I could only take so much of the meat section though. I have a hard time looking at raw meat these days. Jeremy and I got some wonderful fruits, dried fruits, granola, yogurt (the last three were primarily for me), french sandwich bread, loose tea, basil, thai 'trail mix', and a few over delicious treats.

After a BIG bite to eat at a Thai restuarant in Decatur, we went straight to IKEA (which was the ultimate purpose of the trip) and spent what seemed like FOREVER following the arrows on the floor through the show room. We found a kitchen table and chairs, a computer desk to replace our large one, and storage cabinets for the kitchen. All of this is to baby-prep the house. IKEA ended up not having the pc desk in stock but we have plenty to put together. We loaded the truck as it began to sleet and snow. It was a bit cold, but it really wasn't a problem for Jeremy who had spent all week in Boston. After a very quite and sleepy trip home, we parked in our driveway around 10pm CST.

O, and we got our crib. It was a gift from my mom and stepdad. I picked it out online at JCPenneys where it got some pretty good reviews. We will get it together once the office is cleaned out and it is transitioned into the new guest room. The existing guest room will be the baby's nursery.

Our big ultrasound is next week so keep a look-out for baby details and hopefully a good pic. We will be recording it on a DVD so hopefully we can get it posted online.
