Room and Board

Last week I was visiting different websites about being pregnant with twins so that I could get more informed. I came across the suggestion that MoMs (moms of multiples) should have their hospital bags packed and the carseats in the car at around 28 weeks. This immediately sent me into panic mode and I started envisioning the to-do list that seemed about as long as the list of Jolly old St. Nick.

So, the following Sunday (while I still had some energy) we headed out for an early morning run to Babies R Us. We ended up getting a changing table, the carseats, mattresses, bedding sets and other things to help decorate the twins' nursery. Apparently the store has a "twins discount" which no doubt helped out, but in the scheme of things seemed almost non-existant on our receipt. After the horrifying reality of our bill wore off we headed home.

Of course I sent Kevin off to the room to get it emptied out - it's previous role was "guest room". Kev was such a good sport the whole day. I'm so thankful to have a husband that realizes when he needs to help out and get things done, without complaining too!

After the room was cleared he was put to work assembling the new crib we purchased last week and the changing table. It took quite a while since he didn't really get much help. He was even a dear and helped dress the cribs with the bedding sets. The only thing I really did on my own was put up the wall decals. Smart move, Kev...no offense, but if you would have done it, it might have looked like the monkey exhibit at the zoo spewed monkeys and dots across the room.

Anyway, the room still needs a ton of work and all of those "cute finishing touches", but the basics ares done for now. I think it is really cute and am quite pleased with it.
