Big Baby

The baby is getting big! According to Babycenter, s/he is now nearly a foot long (haha like a hot dog!) and a bit over one pound. It's beginning to become noticeable when the baby shifts around, like if I am laying on my right and stand up, I can feel baby hanging out over there, and then he'll settle back into the middle after I'm up for a bit. Totally strange. Kicking is definitely starting to get more pronounced, although still not strong enough for anyone but me to feel I think.
We go in for a routine check-up on Thursday, and then hopefully we can sneak in for a sonogram again in a few weeks, I'd love to see how much baby's grown!
Going to go soon to Ikea to check out their nursery stuff - a lot of people recommend skimping on the crib (although of course getting something safe and sturdy) and then splurging on a nicer mattress and glider for breast feeding. Here's the crib I want to check out, the Gulliver from Ikea:

The price is definitely right - only $139 and I think there's a matching changing table for like $70. It scored very high on a Consumer Reports thingie and I've looked online and it seems well-regarded and happily in use by many parents. I like the simplicity and lack of frou-frou-ness. I think it will look great in our room with some hip, modern bedding! Have to check it out :)
