Would one of the drawer dishwashers work for you? They can take up less space, especially if you only do one drawer instead of two, although you would probably still need some cabinetry rework. However, since you're about to have the classic sized family, you might want the full sized washer anyway. The single drawer works fine for us, but it's just the two of us.
In the space I have, an 18" built-in would fit better than a drawer-style because I'd just be replacing one entire cabinet rather than chopping one in half.
Maybe I should tell my sister to circulate to my extended family the suggestion of a gift certificate to Sears as the perfect 2nd-baby-shower-gift...
TMZ is reporting that Jay Leno will go back to the 11:30pm timeslot after the Olympics, which means that Conan is out of a job.
Jessica, there must be some places that would give you a free estimate. This site gives a ballpark of $500-1000. (It's a Canadian site so materials may be less. But I don't know if there's a NY premium on labour.)

I would estimate a couple hours work each for a plumber and a carpenter. I would love a dishwasher...really, a whole new kitchen.
Hee. That's an accusing look on that dog's face. I've seen the same look on my parents' dog when she starts to go outside, and then discovers that it's raining.
Even funnier are 11 Hilarious (and Very Necessary) Newspaper Corrections. They are truly amazing.
That 1969 NYT one is a thing of beauty.
Conan on TDS? No. Stewart would never be able to get anything done.
And the Ottawa Citizen was clearly having some fun with the correction of their correction.
I once read a hilarious correction in the NYT about how many bras Ivana Trump buys in a year. She actually buys one dozen in each color, not twelve dozen in each color. So you know.

Booo!
So I went to the Whole Foods. I hate that place. In addition to the cat food (and they didn't have the flavor I usually get), I got some store-brand crackers and spicy cheddar cheese. So that was exciting.
