We have the Pack'N'Play, which the babies will share for a little while. I think it's important for them to sleep close to each other at first - they're so used to it.
We have the swing. We only got one, so far, because we're not sure they'll both like it. We can still get another one later, if we need to.
We have the cribs, which take up most of the room. Once the babies have grown a little and can sleep for longer periods of time, we'll move them to separate cribs. The drawers underneath have blankets in them - all were homemade presents from friends and family members.
We have the rocker/glider, which I have already used a ton. This will probably be my nursing spot. I have even placed my boppy pillow in it, already. From there I can also read to the babies.
We have the changing table, which was FREE. My sister-in-law, LeiLani, helped me to paint it to match the rest of the furniture (before I was put on bedrest). We also have lots of diapers, wipes, diaper rash ointment, pacifiers, and burping cloths. And a trash can for the dirty diapers.
We have the dresser, which has most of the babies' clothes, and also onesies, socks, bibs, spare crib sheets, and the monitor (which changes colors according to the temperature of the room).
We have the carseats, but we haven't set them up in the car, yet. I want to make sure my car is vacuumed and clean before we do so. (Billy's job)
And we got Bumbos, because I heard they were the coolest thing ever, and I found them on Craig's List for super cheap. In the bathroom we also have the bathtub, shampoo, lotion, and hooded towels.
In the kitchen we have the bottles, brushes, and a bunch of free samples of Formula.
And by the door we have the diaper bag and my hospital bag, just in case they decide to come before my scheduled C-section.
I also have a nursing cover, nursing bras, nursing pads, and I should get an electric breast pump at the hospital after the babies are born.
I think that covers it all. If you think of anything else that is a must-have, let me know.

Wow it looks like you guys are very prepared and ready for the little guys. I'm glad everything's going well. Since it sounds like you will have a c-section my only suggestion is to get one of those postpartum belts. It's a white, wide elastic belt that goes around your waist and helps you heal from the c-section by adding support. It saved me! You can borrow mine if you want but it might be HUGE since your way tinier than me. I got mine at motherhood for $20 and I think it's way worth it. That's my suggestion. Good luck- end of July is almost here!
you have such cute stuff for them! you guys look like you're totally ready. the only thing i can think of is a bouncer.. just cause you can set them to vibrate and a lot of babies like that and it helps them sleep sometimes. but its not a must have. also, if you're breast feeding, a breast pump and nursing pads. you're so lucky they are coming so soon! mine most likely won't come til sometime in august, HOPEFULLY the beginning rather than the end lol anyway, good luck! you guys will be awesome parents.
Wow! You guys seem SUPER ready. I'm officially put to shame. I don't even have clothes put in drawers yet. EEK! Good luck with the last couple of weeks. You're going to be one awesome mama.
You look ready to me! Way to go keeping those little guys in your tummy! I can't wait to hear all about the birth.
