First of all, congratulations on expecting your first child!
Secondly, congratulations on the new trailer! That looks like a nice unit and should suit you well for a bit while you get some camping trips under your belt. I am with the folks that recommended that you consider a bunkhouse or double bunk model, but after thinking about it and taking another look at your tow vehicle, I think you made a wise choice. I had the 2003 version of that same truck but with the trailer tow package and corresponding rear-end. To be honest, it didn't really like towing all that much... And I'm not the only one that felt that way about that model truck with that power train. Great truck, just didn't like to tow as much as the specs would have you believe. I think you will be happier with this lighter trailer. You can re-think the size of the next trailer after you have your second child (God willing) and consider a more suitable tow vehicle for a 6000#+ trailer at tha time.
I wish you and your (growing) family lots of great experiences with this trailer. I PM'd you about my west coast trailer buying experience. Take a look at that PM and see if any of the info/advice might be helpful down the road when you consider your next trailer.
