I got a wild hair tonight

and decided that my hospital bag must be packed NOW, NOW, NOW.  So I spent two hours doing my laundry and baby laundry, and now we're all packed.  At 31 weeks. 

We don't even have car seats for the babies yet, but damnit if we don't know what they (and I) will be wearing home from the hospital.  *-)

Seems legit.  Fashion first!

Lol, I have still done nothing and not bought the first thing. I am justifying this because of amazon prime. Everything can get here in two days or less.

This is my logic with the car seats.  Besides, I keep telling myself that if they are born now, they won't be coming home in them for a while anyways.  Certainly we'll have Free Prime Shipping notice during which we can order them. 

But hoo boy - if I were to be admitted after a doctor's appointment (it happened to a mom on my multiples board) I can't imagine getting H to pack a bag for me.  I would be well equipped with one of his old toothbrushes, two right contact lenses, and a pair of sweatpants.

Good, that's awesome to have off your list!

I was going to mention Amazon Prime for car seat when needed. You can have them picked out and ordered right from the hospital and they'll arrive beofre you check out, even if later in pg!

When baby 1 was born, I did my HUGE amazon prime order that I had pending in my cart forever at about 1 am the day I delivered her. Stuff was at my house when I got home. We had a million boxes to open.

You are probably right about the bag packing. I should consider getting something together, because DH would fail miserably at that even with specific instructions. Then again, that would involve me removing myself from denial and I don't want to! Lol

this is a great idea. the sooner you're all packed, the longer the babies will cook.

Yep. My water broke early because one of the bolts on the crib wouldn't fasten properly.

It's true. I was three weeks late because we had the nursery paint and wall paper done by four months. 

Speaking of which: we have all the stuff we need but nothing is set up. Today was full of contractions. It's time to buy some paint.

I went and bought paint today but the room still need to be cleared out. I did put the Halloween decorations away. Does that count for anything LOL
