Packing for the Hospital

Hi Everyone!

As some of you know, my husband is super organized, and likes to have things done ahead of time. One of the things he's been bugging me about is packing a bag for the hospital for when we go in for labor/delivery, so I'm trying to get that done over the next few days. Here's my list of what I think I might need...trying to keep it simple:

  • 2 pillows (apparently the hospital pillows suck)
  • Cherry chapstick, toothbrush/toothpaste, soap, shampoo, contact stuff, brush, nipple cream
  • PJs (to hang out in instead of the hospital gown if I want)
  • Robe to put over hospital gown
  • Going home outfit for me (jeans, T shirt, sweater, tennis shoes...I know I'm still going to need maternity)
  • Going home outfits for babies
  • Lotions (recommended to help with labor)
  • Massager (recommended to help with labor)
  • Birthing book from hospital (has lots of information that might be useful)
  • Distractions (cribbage, light reading [eg US Weekly], iPOD, journal)
  • Camera

Anyone have any thoughts/suggestions?

XOXO
