Weekend Progress

This weekend my parents were nice enough to come down, even though they were down here not even a month ago and will be down again in another month.  But nonetheless my parents came down.  More like my Dad tagged along with my Mom, since my Mom really wanted me to have everything ready to go for the hospital "just in case". 
Dont get me wrong I was prepared to back my hospital bag, with a checklist, etc., but a part of me hasn't wanted to get it together because I feel like it will jinx me and I will have to go earlier than the 19th.  But I know "mother knows best" so she came down and helped me put it all together.  So there are only a few daily items I use that are not in my bag, but its ready to go and sitting in the nursery ready for me.
That was the main purpose for my parents(mom) to come down this weekend, she wanted me to be prepared.
While she was down here we also got my wall decal down (pictures to come in the next few days).  Everything on the nursery walls are decals, but the difference between the decal I just put up this weekend and our dots, is all the dots totalled roughly 50 bucks and they are vinyl so you can pull them off and stick them anywhere if you dont like where you have them and they WILL NOT peal off the paint. The wording decal I did purchase from Uppercase Living and I love it!  I highly recommend if you have not used rub-on's before or want personalized decorations for your wall to check it out. Anyway...   I bought my wording and it was roughly 50 bucks.  still not bad, but there is added pressure when you know once its on the wall if you try and remove it you are risking taking the paint off and it wont stick back on. And the sad part is, if you have ever worked retail had to do floorsets, especially around the holidays you have probably done your window displays and used decals-its the same concept, so it should be really easy, and it really was but knowing that if there is a mistake I am stuck.  But hey after roughly 30-45 minutes my Mom and I had the decal up on the wall where we wanted.  Like I said earlier I will take pictures, but I am waiting for Craig to put my corner shelves up and then the wall will be complete.
The only thing I didn't get done this weekend was put together my "hospital binder".  Wondering what that is... well I am a planner and have to be super organized, so I have a binder I have started to put things in for the hospital, like coupons to redeem at the hospital for free formula, free bags, etc. it will also contain all my paperwork I need, copy of insurance, driver license, and a list of people I need to e-mail/text etc to give them an update. Other than that I am set to go.
One thing I have to mention is that the hubs was very sweet and put the carseat bases along with the mirrors in the car. We were orginally going to put the stroller in the car, but after my parents came and were trying to work with the carseats and strollers, I realized Craig and I needed a little more practice before we put it in the car for good.
I am starting to get excited, but I think next weekend I will really be excited because this week we go to Dr. Fumia (the multiples specialists) so we will have a better idea how long I will last, and next weekend my game plan is to, although earlier than I normally do, put up the Christmas decorations and really get all the baby stuff out and have the house "baby ready".
So later this week look for some more updates on the pregoress of getting baby ready along with some more pictures!
