Yesterday, I got one that just about took my breath away. No, really, I'm not joking.
It read............"Packing for the Hospital". It was actually directed towards Dad and said this, "It's time: Pack the overnight bag for the hospital together. Talk about what personal items she wants included, and double-check that everything is in the suitcase."
No! It's not time to get my hospital bag ready, it's just not. I'm only 33.5 weeks, I still have time, right? RIGHT?!?!? Please tell me I do. I am not ready! Well, I am ready to meet my sweet baby boy but I am not done getting things ready for him to come. We have a big to-do list still for things around the house that I would just cry if we didn't at least get it half way done before he came.
Anyways, I wrote a list of things I need to put in my bag which now sounds like I'll need a damn suitcase.
Here are just a few things I have on the list :
- nursing tanks
- slippers or slipper socks with the little bubble things on the bottom so you don't fall when you walk
- comfy pants
- make up, hygiene products
- my own pillows
- camera (and charger), laptop, video camera
- snacks for both me and Daddy
- cell phone and charger
- going home outfit for Preston including a hat, jacket, socks, and a blanket and my outfit to go home in
- some onesies for Preston
- pads (oh what fun)
I remember packing my bag in a panic at 36 weeks after Kristie told me she'd had Brady at 35 weeks, haha!
ReplyDeleteIf it helps, you probably don't need to pack any pads. The hospital will have a ton there for you. Really BIG ones. ;)
I second Meg's pad advice, the hospital will have more than enough for you and they even send you home with a great big bag of them.
ReplyDeleteAnd I vote you pack some flip flops instead of slippers. They're just way easier. Remember, at LEAST four pillows!!!
