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
