Thanks for all the encouraging email, phone calls, and giant boxes full of clothes and toys!
I am packing up "the Bag" that we will be taking to the hospital and I thought I would ask what should I pack that I haven't listed here.
The Bag for Hospital
for Hunter
- baby outfit
- cotton swaddle - muslin
- baby hat/bonnet
for Sha
- terry robe
- exercise ball (deflated) with pump
- clothes for the ride home
- warm outfit/cold outfit
- snacks
- juice boxes
- coconut water
- cheese
- crackers
- granola bars
- cucumbers
- raspberry leaf tea
- berry green powder
for Me
- swim trunks
- couple of t-shirts
- shorts
- underwear
- socks
- warm outfit/cold outfit
- shaving kit
- combs and hairbrushes
- tooth brushes, toothpaste and toothpaste
- nice shampoo and soaps
- iPod touch with movies and music
- Hypnobirthing Signs
- Birthplan
- cell phone chargers
List looks good-a few minor things you might want: make sure you have socks for Sha, hospitals are always cold. And maybe some slippers. Make sure to pack a selection of larger-sized clothes (maybe even maternity) for Sha to wear home-the gigantic tummy does not deflate as quickly as it seems it should. Nursing bra, nursing pads, lanolin, lactation consultant's phone #. A few baby blankets and pee-pee pads. Socks for baby. And don't forget the car seat, they won't let you leave without one.
