We are prepared for our permanent house guest!

Seeing that this weekend we were under doctor's "orders" to stay near by in the case I would go into labor, we took full advantage of all the time we had.  LITERALLY!  I didn't realize how much work it would be to put together a small room for a tiny person.  On top of all that, Nelson and I came to a few conclusions:

- Batteries - we will always use batteries for all baby/kid stuff (Luckily, Nelson being the tech guy that he is, pretty much has any type of battery you can think of.  Need some C's?? Nelson got them.  D's, well not a problem here! We have a plethora of double and triple A's. Hey I wouldn't be surprised if we had hearing aid batteries)
- Warnings on all baby stuff will make you paranoid
- When pack and plays say they just "snap" right open, they are wrong
- We could probably make a home out of all the cardboard we broke down
- We love our baby's new room and hope she loves it too :)

Here are some photos:

The walls are currently bare, but will have some decorations on it soon.  Since the walls were painted last week, we need to wait a little before we start putting stuff up.

Nelson's homemade closet.  We were going to put up a curtain, but I like it open for easy access to baby diaper stuff and towels.

Crib all set up with it's bedding! Yes I know, no blankets/stuffed animals in the crib when baby is in there!

Diaper bag is ready to go!

The frame has a picture of the baby's sonogram in there. 
Big brother is watching BGC.  The video monitor is pretty awesome and it just arrived yesterday!
Rocking chair ready for the late nights!
Pack and play/bassinet ready for BGC!

We also installed the car seat.  Bags are all packed.  We will be putting the bags in the car tonight.  So when we go to our appointment on Tuesday, we will be all ready in the case we need to head to the hospital, BUT I believe that the more you are FULLY prepared, the less likely you will need it right away, right? So I'm assuming that after my doc's appointment I will be heading right to work :)

Hope you all had a great weekend! Have a great work week
