Packing for the hospital

Kind of after-the-fact but here's what I packed for the hospital and what we actually used. I reached out to friends on Facebook about what to pack, so helpful, and this was our final list:

-Toiletries-a must! Over our stay, I took 4 showers at the hospital (one after we checked in, one after birth and then one each remaining day we were there). So nice to have my own soap/shampoos.
-Makeup/skin care
-Flip flops for shower
-Toothbrush (for me and C) and toothpaste
-Slippers-wore these a lot while we were there
-Front button PJs-took 2 pairs and didn't wear either. The hospital gown was easiest for breast feeding during our stay.
-Long sleeved wrap top for when guests visit. Nice to have when my brothers came to see Henry. A robe would have worked also.
-My own pillow-so, so nice to have! Used during labor and at night. I wish we would have brought an extra cover.
-Water bottle for dad and snacks for dad (and mom-I loved the peanut butter pretzels we packed).
-iPad, iPhone, camera and chargers
-My work bag and computer (used before labor when we had time to kill)
-Pjs and slippers for dad (it was snowy so C would leave his shoes inside the door and wear slippers instead so the floor would stay dry)
-Breast feeding pillow
-Going home outfit for mom-yoga pants, nursing tank and button down top.
-Baby bag loaded with blankets, going home outfit, hat
-Car seat with cover (forgot the neck support piece- would have been nice )

We didn't pack gum or mints but wish we would have. I also didn't pack a hair dryer but I could see what it would be nice.

The Rocking Chair-a work in progress!

Over the weekend, I started the rocking chair project (I found it on the curb back in November and we picked it up to refinish it for the living room).  I know, at 38 weeks along, I probably should have tackled this project sooner :)

Before photos, holding stuff in the garage:

Work in progress!  I've removed all of the ugly, rotting fabric (and the hundreds of staples holding it into place using a screw driver and some needle-nose pliers and wearing gloves):

 I picked out (the tan and blue handwriting) fabric (the paisley is a pillow case from our living room-my reference fabric) for the seat and cushion and paint color (using the same as in our entryway, the bottom color):

Next steps:

1. Sanding and painting the frame
2. Recovering the fabric bottom  
3. Making a cushion for the bottom (or find one online to purchase) and pillow for the back

 I've never done a project like this before so I'm winging it...any advice?  I've done some research but it's truly going to be a learn-as-I-go-situation here :)
