SLC cribs Part 1

Less than 4 months to go until the vagina splitting and I keep making a mental list of things I have to to have before his big dome sees the light of day. I know there are things I want like cable tv and matching Motherboy XXX outfits for us, but I have to be realistic. So as it stands now:

1. a digital SLR camera
2. a car seat
3. onesies (hopefully train, construction worker and pooh-free)
and
4. a bed set up for us and him

I think the sad fact of the matter is that we will be in a queen size bed forever. I can't imagine living in an apartment big enough for a king size and I worry about the health of our relationship if we are essentially on opposite sides of the atlantic with a dog on a life raft in between us.
We are just going to have to work with what we got which is: one box spring, one ikea bed frame that is one humping away from crumbling like Lot's wife and 2 mattresses (one mine and one his) that we argue over which is better. Cause he wins (or I give in) to almost all of these types of fights, we are on his right now, which i think is giving me chronic heartburn. It is too hard for me and makes creaking noises a mattress should not make.
Solution! Memory foam and earplugs? Brilliant or misguided? But what thickness do I get? 2"? 3"?

The softest bamboo sheets... ordered!
